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 |

Honda S2000, Acura RSX recalled over brake boosters
Fri, 14 Jun 2013Honda has announced a recall that affects two of our favorite, dearly departed cars from the brand's portfolio: the S2000 roadster and Acura RSX coupe. A total of 5,239 S2000 models from the 2006 and 2007 model years are affected by this problem, as are 13,113 2006 Acura RSX models.
"A production error may have allowed brake booster components to be produced outside of the original specifications, potentially causing decreased brake assistance over time, which could increase the risk of a crash," American Honda said in a press release. Thus, dealerships will inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake booster setups in these vehicles, free of charge.
No crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this brake problem. Honda says the problem was discovered during warranty claim analysis.
Acura TLX caught naked in production guise, can you spot the differences?
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Acura doesn't tend to do concept cars these days that don't foreshadow a specific upcoming production model. The ZDX prototype of 2010 previewed the production version, as did the ILX and RLX showcars of 2012 and the MDX of 2013. The NSX concept is on its way to production, as the SUV-X concept is likely to do as well in the coming years. So when Acura revealed the TLX prototype at the Detroit Auto Show a few months ago, we all but knew it would only be a matter of time before that, too, would be produced. And here it is.
Spied all but completely undisguised while undergoing testing, this pair of TLX prototypes (one in white, one in black) looks almost identical to the show car. You might spot a few minor tweaks here and there - the strip of LEDs in the lower front bumper have been replaced by round fog lamps and some of the chrome accents are missing - but by and large, we're looking at the same vehicle we saw in Detroit earlier this year.
The finished production version of the TLX is expected to debut at the New York Auto Show next month, after which it will replace both the TSX and the TL, slotting in between the smaller ILX and the larger RLX in Acura's sedan lineup.
Honda to lead Rose Parade with hybrid tech
Thu, Dec 6 2018What are you doing New Year's Day? We're probably going to watch Urban Meyer's retirement bash the Rose Bowl, but we love a nice parade, too. To kick the day off, Honda will be leading the 130th Rose Parade with its own float, an Insight hybrid and an Acura RDX crossover. Not only will Honda be celebrating the new year, it'll also celebrate its 60th anniversary in the U.S. As such, the main float will be shaped like a 25-foot-tall birthday cake. And 60 band members from the historically black colleges and universities' marching bands — which recently took part in a battle of the bands sponsored by Honda — will represent the candles on the cake. It'll also be decorated to re-create the look of the automaker's first storefront in Los Angeles. The float will be called "Celebration of Dreams," a fitting title for a company whose founder Soichiro Honda famously said, "The day I stop dreaming is the day I die." (The first thing you see when entering the amazing Honda Collection Hall at Twin Ring Motegi is a large, circular glass sculpture with the word "Dream" and Soichiro Honda's signature). For the parade, the Honda Insight will serve as the official pace car, while the Acura RDX will play the role of sound car. The float itself will be propelled by a modified Honda hybrid powertrain. The main float will be flanked by five "satellite" floats, each representing facets of the company. These will include a Honda Super Cub motorbike; a floral representation of a 1975 Civic CVCC; a float with crash test dummies and an arch with five stars to represent safety; a Honda Accord, which is built in the U.S.; and a float incorporating elements from the HondaJet to represent the future. The Rose Parade broadcast begins bright and early at 8 a.m. Pacific on Jan. 1. Check out the rendering at the top of the page to get a sense of what to expect. Related Video:
