RSX vs. Type S

I was actually seeing a 2005 Type-S on eBay with like 7k miles going for $19K currently (it has bids) with a couple of days left. I suspect it'll end around $20,500 or $21,000. About a three thousand dollar savings over brand new, and since they jacked up prices -- maybe closer to four thousand dollars.
Rest assured I'll keep your future Type-S clean and will only have tasteful mods! Washed 1 1/2 times a week (sometimes once, sometimes twice, sometimes thrice!) Oh and -- if you buy it around the ~50-70k mark -- you might need a new clutch soon

I couldn't drive for shit the first week, and I didn't really get it down perfectly until after the first month.
I wasn't abusive though, and I didn't go over 5K until ~400 miles or so. Facts are facts though -- and in the nature of full disclosure I've grinded reverse three times; third gear grinded on me once but I was fully down on the clutch and really that's about it.
I won't be worried about the actual transmission gears, but the shitty syncros that Honda sticks in there
