This is what I have on Craigslist. Its a great car for someone who needs a reliable family sedan...

Excellent running, Great condition Acura. Engine runs perfect with no errors. (the pic with check engine light was just a misfire. This was before i changed the spark plugs and had it erased) It has New Spark plugs (50 miles) New Crank Sensor. All new Belts (200 miles) Alternator newer, All new coolant, just flushed it. The tranny shifts perfect and is as smooth as the motor. Changed Tranny fluid. I just changed the Temp sensor and the thermostat, put in a 165 Degree one. The tires are great. The fronts should be changed with the backs though. The back tires are almost new, where as the front ones have 70% tread left. 

Everything on the car is in excellent running order. I'm a mechanic in Grad school. This is how i get through school. I find cars, fix them and drive them, to make sure everything's all tuned up and good, (and then try and sell them for a few bucks) This car now has over $2400 into it. I bought it for 1400, then put 1000 into it. (including parts, Crank sensor, Crank pulley, Curt hitch, and a new hood (its in Wisconsin, we can figure that out later) The car does have some minor rust spots on it. Including the little spots in the rear wells, the hood and right below the license plate on the trunk. Its small. I was going to fix it, that's why I bought the hood. I took it home to work on it. Its included, $300 value. I kind of got carried away, so now my so-called-flip has turned into a flop.

I just changed the fluids, (didn't flush it) and added expensive Valvoline fluid to the tranny, with high mileage additive. I just changed the oil and oil filter with Amsoil. Its the most expensive and the best synthetic oil you can buy. Its 11 bucks a quart. I have 100 miles on the oil and you don't have to change it for 25,000 miles or 12 months. The brakes are excellent, they were just gone through. The ABS light is on unfortunately, and it needs a sensor. (took it in, thats what they said. I might be a Mechanic, but ABS stuff is impossible without the right equipment to troubleshoot) Its clicking too. (the drivers side) This is a very common Honda problem. Its the steering knuckle. Its not a problem for driving, its just I just haven't gotten time to change it. 

This car runs and drives like a Mercedes Benz. No joke, its got the double wishbone suspension; same technology as most race cars. The interior is very nice, give it a 8.5/10. The exterior is all original. Again it has a few scuffs and scratches on the front and rear bumpers. I just fixed and installed all new Expensive halogen lights and fog lights in the front. I give the exterior a 7/10 with a few small spots on the hood and the rear wheel wells. The exhaust is very nice and quiet. All the sensors are fine with no codes. Again this car is a great family car. Very safe and was one of the leading award winning cars in the 90's. I'd keep it, but I'm just a student trying to get by...just one more semester left. (omg i'm in debt)

Sorry for the info, I don't like surprises for people and the car is what it is. A very nice family sedan, with 190,000 miles.  Yes, that might seem like a lot to some, but this car can easily go another 60,000 if taken care of. Look on Kelly's Blue Book. The car retails for about $2300. Its a well built, well engineered Japanese car. Its a high-end Honda. (in Japan they call it a Honda Legend)

I'm a military mechanic by trade. I was in the Air Force and stationed all over the country. I've gone through this car in hopes to flip it. But where I'm at its just impossible to sell cars. In Chicago, there are literary hundreds of great cars for under 2000. I'm now in Vernon Hills/Mundelien area studying for the Priesthood. I was asking $1900 on Craigs-list. Its now today on Ebay...we'll see what happens. My loss is your gain.

Peace

2020 Acura NSX leads this month's list of discounts

Mon, Dec 7 2020

With its 573-horsepower hybrid powertrain and 0-60 time of 2.9 seconds, there's no doubt that the Acura NSX is an impressive machine. As its production numbers and pricing adjustments attest, however, it's not a big seller. And this month, Acura's high-end coupe has a larger monetary discount than any other vehicle in America. Buyers of the 2020 Acura NSX are scoring an average cut of $19,659 off the car's $159,530 sticker price. That equals a 12.3% savings for an average transaction price of $139,871. That's still a hefty chunk of change, but it's a reasonable sum for a vehicle with the NSX's performance chops. The next two vehicles in order of largest discounts follow the same luxury performance coupe trend. The Audi R8 is a much pricier vehicle than the NSX, which means its $16,146 discount only represents 8% off its average $200,086 sticker, but we doubt buyers are complaining. Next up is the BMW M8, a vehicle that has been at or near the top of this list more than once. The M8's average discount of $15,403 represents a 10.4% savings off its $148,880 retail price. Interestingly, that puts the M8 and NSX within a few thousand dollars of each other. For a look at the best new car deals in America based on the percentage discount off their suggested asking prices, check out our monthly recap here.

Acura TLX Luggage Test | Perfectly reasonable trunk space

Mon, Nov 30 2020

The Acura TLX has a 13.5-cubic-foot trunk according to the spec sheet. That would be comparable to a typical compact mainstream sedan despite the TLX's exterior dimensions being more akin to a midsize sedan (its 194.6-inch length is right smack between a Toyota Camry and Honda Accord). Luxury cars usually sacrifice utility for style, and by adapting cab-rearward proportions for this latest generation, it shouldn't be surprising that the TLX follows the trend.  However, how much utility does the new TLX sacrifice and is the trunk still useful? Let's find out. It's a fairly deep space, but the amount of width and space behind the wheel wells is also reasonably generous and seemingly useful. As with every luggage test, I use two midsize roller suitcases that would need to be checked in at the airport (26 inches long, 16 wide, 11 deep), two roll-aboard suitcases that just barely fit in the overhead (24L x 15W x 10D), and one smaller roll-aboard that fits easily (23L x 15W x 10D). I also include my wife's fancy overnight bag just to spruce things up a bit (21L x 12W x 12D).  To start off, I lined the biggest bags on their sides to demonstrate the difference in the trunk's width relative other sedans. Only three can fit, whereas you can fit four in the majority of midsize sedans. Nevertheless, all the bags fit. That's not the case with the Cadillac CT4 or CT5, or the big fibber, the BMW 3 Series and its "17-cubic-foot" trunk.  Basically, the numbers make sense here. While it can hold all the bags, there really isn't any leftover space as there is in a midsize sedan. That said, I should note that there are plenty of compact crossovers that can't fit all these bags below their cargo covers, including the Mercedes GLC and Alfa Stelvio.  OK, one more trunk-related note. While there is a spare-tire-shaped hole under the trunk floor, there is no spare tire. Instead, you get a compressor encased in foam covering the car's battery. Putting the battery in the trunk is totally normal, but there's something a tad bootleg about this placement. It seems like an afterthought. It almost certainly has to do with engine compartment packaging and/or weight distribution, but it does mean you do without a spare tire. Or, I suppose as BMW is apt to do, extra under-floor cargo space.  Related Content Â
