Default Thinking of buying an rsx-s

Today was a journey to the Dealers. There are so many nice rsx-s that are soooooo nice. Before I go off and put a down payment on one, what should I be looking for? The year, price, miles what would you recommend on the year miles and price of the car! Thanks in adv.

Definitely pick up an 05. The best model year, best looking and its the one with all the Type R upgrades (Cams, Intake Snorkel, Crank Pulley, Flywheel, Clutch, Exhaust, 4.76 final drive, Brake Master Cylinder) and it was the only RSX-S in US with a rating of 210hp, better later down the line for resale, since the 06 is rated at 201 for the new standard.

I would say 19-21k for a low mileage one.

depends. I mean i've seen 02's go for 15-16k. You can always do an 05 conversion. It depends on what you want and how much you have to spend.
