Super helpful vid at the right time for me. Checking out a '06 6MT that has 150k miles for $8000. Based on maintenance records and Timing Belt / Water Pump situation I might try to negotiate a bit lower, but I at least know what the baseline is in this current market.

I bought an 04 manual with 120kish miles if I remember correctly was under 7k back in 2016 or 2015

You could always push start a car with a manual if the starter or battery goes out

I finally sold my 2004 RSX manual after 16 years of ownership (still runs great, my nephew drives it now). I'm looking at this for my next purchase 2007-08 TL type S manual. My wife askes why not get a newer car but she just doesn't understand. Love these TL's timeless design.

Just disconnect the factory Bluetooth module, mine still works but I don't use it of course lol.. I should disconnect it before it eventually drains out the battery at some point. Nice review jebus. BTW, I disagree with your take about the heavy steering, it's one of the best features of this car :p nice hydraulic steering ftw.

lol it’s all preference. I still have this car and daily it but I like electric steering better I think(depends on the car)

Those copper wires to the starter and ground corrode and snap. That's starter was the only time it left me stranded; Ironically, while I was supposed to be taking my girlfriend to pick up her rental car, when her car broke down

I have a rsx type S and I was wondering what your opinions are between a nice clean example of these TL type s’s and the Rsx. I really like the design and rare manual 07-08, and the fact that they have LSD. But just debating for now lol

@postcutclarity 6 ай бұрын

I have a soft spot for the Rsx type s cause it was my first car. I think at current market they rsx type s is just too overpriced. I get they may never come down in price again but they cost more now than they did in 2009 lol. In terms of the actual car, the Tl feels way heavier, but the motor feels way better the torque is much better. You don’t get as much vtec screaming with it though. I miss the practicality of having a hatchback though

Where did you get that blue tooth module? My front axle broke on my 2008 while driving. The CV boots begin rusting by its 10 th yea. On any Honda80’s and up. Honda’s need simultaneously water pump and timing belt need changing. Lastly the Acura RL 2005 to 2008 share the same engine. Many 3rd gen owners install the 3.5 RL(2005-2008) when the original engine goes bad.

Amazon I think, it’s called bt45-hon. Brand is USA spec. Did your car take any damage when it broke?

engine replacement is ez business and definitely worth it. worst case you invest 2k and the type s is still worth atleast 10k

i get that im on board with you on the current price he wants, jus look at EG and now even EK civic Hatches, integras and sedans what people are asking for them these days LMAO, but the market is collapsing rn as we speak for he wont have a choice but to go way down if he doesnt sell fast.. also to consider tho is the brake job thing is one of many things hes done. i cant really speak on it much further because it aint my car but i always liked them im jus not in the financial means to obtain that car because i need a daily driver not a car that is meant to take out once in a while and kept garaged like his.
