so i'm looking into getting a 2003 rsx type-s with 85.5k miles on it. My only concern is the owner said the engine went through about 1 quart of oil every 3000 miles. is that normal on these cars? the heat shield on the catalytic converter has also fallen off, but the dealer where he got it from said that they would be liable for any damage caused as a result of this. he wanted $14k, but i got him down to $12k. what do you guys think? is it a good deal?

i think you can do better? i got a 04 type s a spec for 14k with about 40k miles on it...

 

K-series do burn more oil than other motors but neither of mine required additional oil to be added before change. 1 quart at 3000 miles is too much IMO.

Mine burns no oil, and give the motor on trackdays, and semi hell autocrossing.

 

i bought my 05 type s for 17k and 25k miles. but it was an odd situation. and it should definately not burn oil. personally, im not a big fan of the color either.

 

Alrightk, it looks like I'm not going to be buying this particular RSX. Thanks for all the help. I might be back if I find another one...

 

DAMN MY GIRL'S K20 BURN'S LIKE 2.5 QUERT'S BETWEEN OIL CHANGE'S!!

 

yea mine used to burn about a quart an oil change

Mine neither but I've heard they do more than B/D series many times.

 

im sellin mine for 13.5 with 74k miles and alot of mods.. see my threads

 

Not worth it. I bought my type s with 79,000 for $8000, but needed $800 worth of body work and does not burn oil. Keep searching

 

bought my type-s from the original owner with 125k for $7200. Burns no oil and has no body damage.

take your time
