[@vi_EviL_iv]

haha thats still new. my 07 tsx just hit 79,000 miles lol

[@JuanR-mm1uk]

awesome! I love the 07's body! I couldn't find any when I was car shopping 3 years ago

[@moccina]

Lol right! I'm shopping for one of these and I come across many with 200k. I usually skip past them. I think if it's a 1 owner, and all maintenance was done, all should be ok. If you can find the sweet spot where everything that's gonna break has already been repaired, sometimes it's better than buying a car with 99k miles. The only downside is re-sale value. It's hard enough to sell a 200k car, I would think it almost impossible to sell a 300k car lol.

[@vi_EviL_iv]

moccina imo neh, no sale. ill find a Japanese engine and buy it for $1,200 at around 60,000 miles give or take a few hundred miles (due to their smog laws they replace engines at that point) and call it a day. i have 07 tsx at 79,976 miles, im the original owner, car cost $14,000 now used but the engine goes for $1,200 and tranny same price, same deal as engine from Japan to replace, food for thought.

[@moccina]

Arioch That's not a bad plan if you live in a fair weather climate. Where I live the frame, undercarriage & body will deteriorate before the drivetrain will, due to road salt in winter. It sucks. Even with yearly undercoating, it's almost impossible to keep a car on the road for more than 15 years.

[@chasealvarez5209]

What gets me on this car is the seats. Sooooo many people abuse their leather seats by not cleaning or moisturizing the leather or letting the leather bake In the sun. Your love in the interior really shows!

[@gravitas3776]

Hondas/Acuras assembled in Japan are the most reliable. I've had two Tsx's spanning 14 years and have had minimal problems.

[@prevost8686]

Gravitas 37 Where they’re assembled makes no difference. The issues most cars have today are design problems and have nothing to do with assembly. All of Honda’s problems such as auto tranny failures are design problems. I’ve been a Honda tech for 25 years and you cannot tell any difference in a USA vs Japan produced Honda.

[@MegaTechpc]

I'll never forget the very first brand new car I ever bought for myself which was a 2004 Acura TSX with navigation. I was, at the time, actually really excited to find a lightly used E46, but after test driving a few (and after looking at overall prices at the time) my buddy suggested I look at something new like the then-new TSX from Acura. So I went down to the dealer to test drive one and man, I fell instantly in love with the car. Then when I realized that a fully loaded, brand new TSX was right there in price with 1-3 year old 328i's with over 30k miles I was completely sold. I remember the gorgeous gauge cluster, sound system, nav unit, and silky smooth 2.4 liter really standing out and I also really loved the styling (inside and out) of that original TSX. I bought a silver one off the lot that very day and it ended up being a wonderful decision. The E46 still remains one of my favorite designs in automotive history, but the bad reliability, poor value, and frankly antiquated interior features (like the horrid E46-era navigation system) all reassured me that I made the right decision in going with a brand new Honda instead, for essentially the same kind of money. I still miss that car to this day, and I've had everything from G37S's to GS350 F-Sports to my current Genesis 3.8 since then! Truly a classic Acura, along with the also new-at-the-time 2004 TL! Looking at that beginning close up of the instrument cluster in this video really takes me back!

[@michaelprofitbanks3658]

I own a 2004 TSX and only changed the transmission but still have the same engine and has 457,440 miles and still running.

I just traded in my 1G (2005) with 175k for a 2013 SE. I feel that I took good care of the vehicle, but it required quite a bit of maintenance towards the end of it's tenure with me. I had ball joints and wheel bearings fail, flex pipe broken, O2 sensors fail. For some reason, soon after I bought it until I traded it, I couldn't ever get the wheels balanced correctly to eliminate a minor vibration. Main reason I traded it off was because I was scared something big was going to fail and I would be stuck with a massive repair like the AC compressor or transmission, money which I could save and use on a newer vehicle. Overall, a good car but I feel I made he right decision to trade it for my 2G. Amazing how yours has made it so far!!

I was going to a Chiro for a little while for the problem, but it wasn't until I also saw an acupressure massage therapist who found my outer thigh muscles were bunching up on the right leg. She worked out the knots & I soaked in a hot tub with epson salt & baking soda those nights. I went for 3 weeks. The muscles were pulling my hip out of whack which was the root of my back pain. So I would go get adjusted at the chiropractor and my wadded-up muscles in my leg would pull the adjustments right back out of whack. The 3rd week, of getting my legs worked on, I'd go see the chiropractor afterwards. After two more weeks of seeing both, my back pain was completely gone. And now that I know the root cause of it I haven't had back pain since!

That's awesome! I've got an 07 Accord with similar K24, 160k miles... still like new as well, save for a few dings.

what have you done to keep your headlights clear and not oxidized?

[@clymerscarport961]

I used a repair kit on them. Sanded them down, polished & resealed. It was a McGuires kit I think. Came with a buffing wheel that goes in power drill. Very handy after all the sanding! tsxtravels.com/2013/10/06/mods-reconditioning/ it also helps the look of the headlights by crashing your car & needing to replace them! LOL

[@kaysee88]

do you know if there are kits out there that i can ADD more wood trim to this wonderful interior?

[@clymerscarport961]

The center console addition, like mine have been discontinued by Acura. I got mine a few years ago from www.heeltoeauto.com/ They might still be able to get one. If not, Google will be your best bet.

How is there no rust on the body?

[@ajordan101]

I just traded in my 2015 Dodge Charger RallyE with 63,000 and got a 2010 Acura TSX with 101,000 miles on it. I'm loving the car. The only difference is 206 HP vs 300 HP on the charger. It's going to save me on gas I hope.

[@moccina]

My RSX just turned over 240k. It's running great, but rust has taken over the undercarriage and body due to 14 salty winters. I've been told the timing chain is good for 300k on the K series 4 banger, or when it gets noisy. When did you replace yours ?

[@clymerscarport961]

I haven't yet. Haven't needed to yet.

[@moccina]

***** Hell yeah. That is amazing. I grew up with the late 80's early 90s D & B series Honda motors which all had belts. I actually just bought a TSX with 92k. She's just a baby lol.

[@sheem8973]

I just purchased a 2008 TSX two days ago with 41000 miles. After looking at your vids and all the comments, I'm really excited!! The only question I have is, what type of gas do you use?

[@clymerscarport961]

Congrats Rasheem on buying a fantastic car! I have always put 91 octane/premium gas. Except for that one summer when gas went to $5 a gallon. Then I would dip into the medium grade every other fill up. But that only lasted a few months.

[@gillesthibault429]

I drive a 2008 Accord Coupe (K24 w/ 5MT) and, at 9 years and a bit under 200 000km, it still purrs like a kitten. With only regular scheduled maintenance. Only money I put in is 2 batteries and a full brake job. (May need a clutch in its 10th year)

[@benz500r]

That's an amazing story. I didn't think any car can get that kind of mileage. Good for you. Somehow Japanese cars age very well comparing to German ones.

[@clymerscarport961]

Mines just a baby really. I invite you to google Irv Gordon & his 1966 Volvo 1800S. This guy is the king of kings when it comes to high mileage! Happy reading!

[@benz500r]

I looked at that. Its amazing that people do that. Many owners including myself get rid of a car after a few years and a fraction of the mileage you guys put on your cars. It definitely works for you and I respect that a lot.

[@troytruong8246]

Why my 07 tsx breaks a lot from 100k-220k miles. Replaced 2 starters, an alternator, power steering pump, a strut, rack and pinion(expensive), control arm, ac system(expensive), replaced valve cover gasket. now driver door lock actuator is broken.

[@jasonm3871]

Troy Truong I’ve gone through a lot of those same things over the last few years. Even though it seems like a lot, nothing you listed is really too far out of the norm for a car of this age/mileage. I’d say the steering rack is the only one that would bother me (rest are pretty diy’able).

[@troytruong8246]

Jason M i understand what you are saying. Most average joe dont have time and know how to diy. Tsx is a fun nice car but it breaks. V6 hondas and acuras are better than 4cyl. Toyota and lexus are trouble free up to 200k+ miles most cases.

I have a 04 TSX with 190k on it runs smooth and everything but are there any warning indicators or noises that happen when a timing chain and water pump needs to be replaced I have the car fax on the car and it’s been taken care of very very great over the years but it’s been so long that the dealerships it was serviced at purged all the service records so I have no clue when the last time they replaced the timing chain or even replaced it at all...just wondering what to look out for if it hasn’t been replaced I plan on bringing her to the dealership very soon to get it done anyways thanks everyone I hope someone can help me out or give me good advice

[@m7machines738]

Well I guess my 2010 Accord sedan v6 is just getting broken in at 222k

[@clymerscarport961]

It's finally broken in! 🙂Make sure you keep up on your timing belt. Mine has the 4 cyl with a timing chain, so I didnt have to worry about it. I had to do the tensioner a couple time. but they are good for 250k miles before they start making noise.

[@Mcali1984]

Loved the video man. I been on the edge of what to get. I am a huge Acura guy. Wether it is an RSX Tyoe-S, a TL Type-S or a TSX. I have been a fan of the TSX since release. Seeing you get 500k out of one is pretty amazing. I am sure you take extremely good car of it.. Maybe I'll look for one with low miles, and try to replicate what you've done. my favorite care inside and out. Thanks for the video mate. cheers.

[@clymerscarport961]

Thanks McAllister! Hope you find that Low miler TSX. Wonderful cars.

[@Mcali1984]

TSX travels I've been looking. they are under 10k in my area, so a great deal in my opinion.. How is the ride if you don't mind me asking. I had an RSX years back. was pretty stiff but still comfy.

[@clymerscarport961]

The ride is great. The original shocks lasted all the way until around 450k or so. On the second set now. So she's still fun going thru the mountain passes. I actually test drove the RSX back in 2002, but ended up getting the TL Type S instead. I was looking for more of a fun cruiser back then.

[@Soullertis]

Give it to your son!! I think that would be the best idea man, spend time with him working on it and keeping it in good condition. Teach him how to drive it around an age you see fit (I would don't around 12 or 13 personally maybe younger depending on if and when I have a child if I believe they're ready). Eventually this way you will be able to see it hit a million miles (hopefully). I read on the internet that a man (original owner by the way) owned a 92 or 93 I believe Honda Accord that had over a MILLION miles on it, I think it was a million 16 to be exact, the mileage actually rolled over from 999,999 back to 0. He turned it into a Honda dealership and they gave him a BRAND NEW ACCORD! Hey ya never know, you said it yourself that you live near a good Acura dealership, maybe if this happens they would do the same. Especially with you being a very good customer for a long time, and time to come. Passing car down to your son, then turning it in with it's original motor, tranny etc, after hitting a million miles. I think they'd do it man. That's just my idea though.
