Default Buying 05-06 Type S help?

I need kind of a buyers guide and checklist, RSX Type-S specific. I know nothing about a RSX, I've read a few things like 2nd and 3rd gear grind because of the sycros and the regular things to look for when buying a car, but what should I look for, What kind of questions should I ask. It's a used one from an Infinity dealer. More info on the grind or any other issues?


Thanks alot.

ys really check on the third gear, mine scratches but i love my car. Try to look for a stock type-s i ignored all the debadged, non stock rims, no stock exhaust, etc. Also another thing to look for is the body kit it comes with stock!
