Not in my area...I'm pretty picky about what I buy. And people around here are dumb and irresponsible with their cars...so it's difficult to find something nice with decent miles in decent shape around here.

merely giving you an opinion from somebody who works on them every single day. Hey, like you said it's your money. You don't have to be a dick head though about people trying to be real with you about what you are buying. You started a thread looking for input, it may not have been your intention to get input on the actual car but more the price and thats fine. I am merely trying to steer you clear from a vehicle that I think isn't worth 15k. 15k is a nice chunk of change and I would personally hate to see you waste it on a base RSX no matter what kind of shape it is in. Sorry from now on, I will just say HOLY SHIT GREAT BUY OFFER THEM TWICE THAT MUCH WOOOOOOT!

I am just jaded now that I am an Acura mechanic I can honestly say that they should drop the brand and just sell Honda. This shit is over priced and over rated. h:

you can find an 03ish Acura CL-S for 15k in good shape. More better than a Base RSX. Chris paid 13k for his yeah, and he still had it under warranty for quite some time. I can't remember if the work we did for him here was warranty or not, but he got a hell of a deal h:
