Unfortunately, it's not the RX-8 I wanted.

I purchased a 2002 Acura RSX Type S.

19500 miles, loaded EVERYTHING, and I stole it for 18500.

Gonna plan on keeping this car for awhile...who know what will happen in the future? My RX-8 "poster" is still hanging up in my living room! :p

 

Another 6k and you could have had a RX-8 6M base

 

6k is alot

 

hondata, i/h/e. do them now. i command you~!
you'll be faster than the rx8. too bad about the fwd. otherwise a fine fine car. congratz

 

No offense, but I think that that price is way high. A brand new one has a MSRP of $23k and the only factory option is the color. I'm sure you could find a new one for cheaper than MSRP if you shopped around, they're not rare, and it's not a brand new model any more. So by getting a 2-3 year old car with 20k miles on it you're only saving around ~$4k or less? Doesn't sound like a very good deal to me. I know the resale value of Acuras is good but I don't think that it's quite that high....

 

pidge, just how many RSX-s' do you know? Strange they all have syncro problems. Acura must have used totaly different syncros in that one model No syncro problems in any other Acura.

 

Go visit www.clubrsx.com -they have an online petition to Acura to solve some transmission / gear problems. What they are exactly? I don't know.

 

The problem is really only minor. Clubrsx just likes to whine.
Its basically a grinding noise when shifting fast into seccond gear.

I know 2 people with typeS's neither has the problem.

 

Congrats! What made you go with the RSX when you wanted an 8? Out of your price range or something else?

 

Damn bitchez! :D

 

Didn't want an 8, didn't want an RSX. My acquisition for the year was a Lotus Elise that will be here in June (keeping fingers crossed).

Not getting rid of the FD though.
