Up for auction is a 2005 Acura RSX 2.0L  with  5 speed automatic transmission.  This vehicle is currently owned by a family member that due to illness is no longer able to drive.  She purchased the car new and it has spent its entire life in sunny Las Vegas.  This is a one time opportunity with a no reserve auction, so if you have been waiting for a clean, unmodified and low mileage Acura RSX, this could be it!

Exterior

The car has always been garaged and the paint shines like new. 
The car has no rust and rarely has seen rain.  It has one small ding in the driver's rear quarter panel and approximately 1" scratch, otherwise it has avoided the usual parking lot door dings seen in most used cars.  The jade green metallic color is very subtle and has only a hint of green.  The 16" alloy wheels have no curb marks and look new.  The windows are tinted with Formula One window tint all around and a visor strip on the windshield, which has a lifetime transferable warranty against fading and lifting. 

The passenger door and front fender were painted in 2011 due to a parking lot incident.  The damage was entirely cosmetic and the repair was performed by a professional paint shop in Las Vegas. 

Interior

Every option works as it should.  Cruise, moonroof, power mirrors, power locks, power windows, auto climate control, a/c, and cd stereo to name a few.  Carpets and seats are stain free.  An aftermarket center armrest that sits in the console is also included.  It sits in place with no modification needed.

Mechanical

This RSX has no mechanical needs - as it has less than seven thousand miles!  Oil, oil filter and cabin filters were recently changed before the auction and the car is detailed and ready to go!  I am a car enthusiast and was surprised at how fun to drive this little car is.  The small steering wheel and quick steering make for a nimble small car that has plenty of power for zipping around town.  Great gas mileage, too! 


Both sets of keys and original keyless entry fobs are included, along with the original valet key.  Owners manual and wheel lock key are also present. 

Shipping

This 2005 Acura RSX has always proved to be very dependable, and though I can not offer a guarantee, I will mention that I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere.  If you feel the same, I'm happy to provide pickup from the Las Vegas Airport. 

If you prefer to arrange your new vehicle to be shipped, eBay recommends Dependable Auto Shippers (DAS)

Depot to depot shipping may be less expensive than door-to-door, so I am happy to drop off at any local pickup point in the greater Las Vegas area to save you on additional destination charges.

This vehicle is currently located in Las Vegas, NV and will be sold in "AS IS, WHERE IS" and there are no warranties expressed or implied herein.  Any bid on this vehicle will be considered a binding acceptance of the terms of sale, specifically including a non-refundable deposit of $500 due within 48 hours of sale (preferably via PayPal), and the remaining balance due within 7 days after close of auction via cash, or certified bank check only.  The vehicle is privately held, so there are no dealer fees or taxes required upon purchase.  The vehicle is being sold with a clear title. 

I have tried to describe this vehicle as accurately as possible and provide detailed pictures to convey the true condition of this 2005 Acura RSX.  Nevertheless, this car remains an 9 year old vehicle, so please email questions or concerns in advance of bidding.

Hondata's 2019 Acura RDX tune brings the mid-range torque

Tue, Feb 12 2019

One of the big advantages to the era of turbo Hondas is that there's plenty of horsepower and torque left on the table for tuners to take advantage of. One of those companies is Hondata, and following its upgrades for the Civic and Accord, it's now tuning the Acura RDX luxury crossover. The RDX uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine similar to those in the Accord and the Civic Type R. In stock form, it makes 272 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. With Hondata's Stage 1 tune, the company says that horsepower increases by about 10 across the rev band. Looking at the dyno graph, it also appears that peak horsepower increases by about 5 horsepower, and peak torque is up by about 15 pound-feet. Peak torque also appears to arrive sooner, and most of the torque curve seems to be up by 10 to 15 pound-feet. The increases in power and torque are available in all four of the RDX's drive modes. The Stage 2 tune increases power torque even more in Sport and Sport+ modes, and keeps Snow and Comfort modes at Stage 1 settings. Peak horsepower looks to be up about 10 over stock, but the mid-range sees as much as a 28-hp increase. Peak torque sees a huge jump of about 45 lb-ft over stock based on the dyno chart, and it's available even lower than the Stage 1's peak torque. If this all sounds good to you, you can order up a Hondata FlashPro computer for your RDX right now. It costs $695 and comes with the handheld computer for uploading or removing tunes. RDX owners in California should note that neither tune is currently CARB legal. Related Video:

Honda airbags are being stolen

Mon, Oct 15 2018

The latest hot target for car thieves might just be the airbag mounted inside your steering wheel. And late-model Honda and Acura vehicles are a particularly hot target right now, for reasons not well understood. USA Today reports that criminals across the country are stealing airbags out of relatively new Honda models for apparent resale online or to black market repair shops. It's a trend that has caught the attention of law enforcement agencies in cities like Miami, New York City and Washington D.C. The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) estimates that around 50,000 airbags are stolen each year. In Miami-Dade County, thieves stole 875 airbags in 2017, up from just 13 in 2013, according to police records obtained by USA Today. In the Virginia suburbs outside Washington D.C., thieves recently smashed the windows of 10 Hondas at an apartment complex to steal the airbags. Second Lt. Jonathan Bryant told the local Fox affiliate that stolen Honda airbags often end up in chop shops and can command between $300 and $500 each. A quick search of eBay listings for Honda steering wheel airbags turns up results being sold for as high as $700, though most are listing for hundreds less than that. New replacement versions purchased from dealerships approach $1,000. Many dishonest repair shops install the stolen airbags as new and charge the owner or their insurer full price for the replacement, a version of insurance fraud. Last year, police in Coral Springs, Fla. published an alert on the neighborhood social networking site Nextdoor urging residents who own a Honda or Acura to park in a garage or well-lit area, "or if you have another vehicle, pull it as close to your driver's side door as possible," they wrote. "We have seen an increase in airbag thefts, primarily in Acura and Honda models," the posting added. "The suspect(s) often disarm the alarm by cutting the battery, punch the driver side door lock or smash the window. It is believed these criminals take approx. 5-10 minutes to steal the airbag." One theory for the apparent rise in airbag thefts is that a spate of airbag recalls in recent years — including the ongoing recall of nearly 50 million potentially explosive Takata airbag inflators that left suppliers scrambling to make new parts — may have boosted demand for replacements. Most of the vehicles involved are late-model Honda Civics and Accords, but it's not clear exactly why Honda is being targeted.

MotorWeek remembers the 1993 Acura Legend coupe

Fri, Sep 25 2015

When discussing classic Acura models, the Legend, particularly as a two-door, doesn't get brought up nearly as often as the Integra or NSX. Perhaps that's because those sporty models were brash for their time, whereas this bigger car came off as a more conservative ride. For a MotorWeek Retro Review, John Davis and crew have looked back at a 1993 Legend coupe to give us a chance to remember Acura's luxury GT. In 1993, the newly revised 3.2-liter V6 managed 230 horsepower, and this one had power routed through a six-speed manual. It also came packed with luxury features, including automatic climate control and traction control. However, the Legend turned out to be more of a comfy cruiser than an all-out sports coupe for the reviewers. MotorWeek wasn't happy with the performance through the slalom, and the shifter wasn't perfect, either. Still, this clip is a great refresher on a model that's often overlooked. Related Video:
