I agree that orange is very nice color. Not too sure on the price, does it have any options already installed on it included in that price?

$20,999.00 Is not that good. You can get a brand new one for just about invoice right now which is $23,300. I personally would go for a brand new one. Its not that much when its financed.. I would rather have a brand new one

It's not a bad price.. but I personally wouldn't buy it.. Because for $21000, I have a choice of used S2000, 350Z or Evo 8 or, brand new 06 Civic si.... But like I said, this is just me.......

it's not really a bad price though, but try and talk it down to like $18k. that would be a better price...

FYI the OP is asking about a 05 Type-S not a civic.

As stated before the burnt orange is hot, and rare.
I would expect a dealer to list the car as 20,999 with about 8k miles on it.
No way would the dealer go to 18k though. I'd say if they can get you in the 19k range you cant ask for anything better than that. BTW for 4-5K more you can have a completely un-molested 06. Food for thought

in my quote from him he mentions the price comparison on why he's looking for the used rsx compared to the market up si

rare color or not, its not a numbered model or anything special just paint

My bad, i was just going off the original question

I was just putting in my .02 about the color. I've only seen one personally in that color, not like its numbered you're right but it's just rare to see one in that color.

definitely rare but keep this in mind

when it comes time to sell your selling an orange car that will be discontinued and will only be wanted by a VERY VERY select market

im sure the rsx type s will be in high demand... BUT orange ones will shy some prospective acura buyer away



IMO

Now that is what I call a token discount, $51! Beats the best I could do though, my buddy is the sales manager at a Honda store, he said he would discount it $2.

I told him I will wait for the sedan.
