Default Looking to buy an RSX.. need some adivce.


I am in the market for a new car, and am looking at 02/03 RSX-S's. I found a couple private party examples for around 13k, with around 70k miles. In your opinion, is it worth it? Is this the correct price? TIA..

I bought my 03 for 18k with 100k miles from a dealer. the car had highway miles on it but was in perfect condition. look to get a deal at the dealer because private sales lead to problems. Thats a low price 13k whats done to the cars your looking at?

i saw in another thread that you are from canada. 100k canadian miles is like what.. 60k US? The rsx's i was looking at have around 60-70k, and are 02-03 models.

I can vouch for Austin. His car is uber sick.

I bought my 03 RSX Type-S for 20k with 23,600 on the odometer. I love it.

no. though make sure the title is clean. If you only have 13k how can you afford a 13k car? You know you have to pay tax + registration.
