Default Is this RSX a good buy?

Well i like the fact that this RSX type S is going cheaper than many other base model but has many cons.
I'm really worried about the oil burning.
Owner also mention brakes, rotors, and wheel bearing. Approximately how much would it cost to fix that?

K-series motors are known to burn oil when driven hard (usually about a quart/month from what I've read), so that can be an indicator of constant abuse.

Pass on it.

as the miles go up, you go from 5w-30 to 10w-30 oil....less blow by with thicker oil.....
