Default Really worth it?

I'm looking to purchase a 2006 RSX Type S....It has 23K miles, Cerfitied Used, Clean carfax, etc. There asking 21,395...I've got em down to 20,000 + tax, title, etc. (basically 21750 OTD) ....Is that a reasonable price or can I do better? Any info would be greatly appreciated

Here's the link if you'd like to know what I'm looking at.

Probably not going to do much better than $20K. RSX's (especially a Type-S) seem to be commanding a premium right now.

I PM'd you.

With 22k on it for $20k. I would definately jump on that. Not only that, it's certified, so you know it's mechanically sound. That's a really good deal.

I would go for it... Seems like a good deal for a 06.. and doesnt have lots of miles.. I got them down see if u can get them down some more.. but dont think they would be willing to just cause of it being a type-s.. but its worth a try...

I got my 05 Type-s w/ 27K miles for $19,750 OTD with a little negotiating. Though yours is a 06, $20K would be a stellar price if you can get them to give it to you.

I like to tell them i love the car (this makes their eyes light up), but say the price is too high. Their rubuttal: "I can sell this car in 2 days" or "someone else is interested in this car, so you better act fast."
My answer: wait a week, come back if the car is still there, you will get your price.
has worked for both my RSX and my old Civic Si. (only really works for used cars)

I got them to 21 OTD. I'll take it. That's the best deal I can get around here. Going to pick it out later today.

Quick question, how are these cars in snow? It's going to snow later I just wanna know what to expect.

In terms of car bottoming out or snow plowing)-
If your still on stock suspension, than it should be no problem. I live in Edmonton (Canada) and winters are pretty harsh here, no problems at all. Even with mugen sport suspension i herd, you will still be okay.

Handling-
It depends on the tires you have. I have winter tires and i throw my car around corners and what not without any problems. Kinda fun actually haha
