  • Been driving this car for two weeks and i love it! It's an amazing ride and has so much potential! This video is mostly for me to see what my car once looked like in the future, but also for anybody out there looking to get an rsx. There's a lot of junk out there, so make sure to inspect, compare, and purchase a car you will fall in love with! It took me about 3 months of searching before i found this bad boy in great condition!

      the benefit is that this engine can take constant punishment unlike a corolla which would break from driving hard. the joy of the K series is the reliable power, not necessarily high power

      Amazing car. I sold it a couple of months ago but it held its own for 3 years. I restored the seats, added a lip kit, lowered it, and had it running like a champ. I have an updated walk around on my channel if you wanted to check out how it looked before I sold it.

    Is a 230k mile in a 2003 Acura good for about 2500$ will I be looking at engine repairs or other problems more than one? I like this car but I wouldn’t spend 5k on it but if it’s a reliable and cheap high mileage rsx that won’t break down on me by the next month I think it would be the perfect daily driver for me. Please I would appreciate your expertise on any issues or problems I can expect in this mile range.

    • @jonsauce
      @jonsauce  5 лет назад +3

      well it all depends on how you see the car. If it looks to be in good condition and well taken care of, the k20 engine can handle 200k+ miles with no problems. For $2500 you can probably get better deals though. I paid $5000 for mine with 99k miles. The seats were torn and it was dirty but i cleaned it up and luckily two years later still no problems. engine and transmission are the most important components for a car, so i would recommend test driving it and seeing how you like it.

    • @crazye3572
      @crazye3572 5 лет назад +1

      J. Sauce I would get something better but if I had the cash but I need a commuter ASAP yet I want to ride in style so I hope this rsx I’m looking at with 230k can last me to the 300k with no problems but simple maintenance the thing is everywhere I search people talk about them like 130-170k is already super high miles for an rsx and can’t see to find anyone who can speak on a 300k rsx so I’m very hesitant to get it. Found it in a post from a dealer the car has no damage on the exterior clean title the paint is good no scratches interior is kinda dirty but not damaged except a rip in the driver seat it’s had 4 owners but the car seems to look new from the exterior no engine pics so can’t judge the car completely and make a convincing decision to take major interest. Yet thank you for answering I was not expecting you to answer this makes you a great guy.

    • @jonsauce
      @jonsauce  6 лет назад +2

      got mine for 5,500 from a dealership in san diego. It was a clean title. It was a good deal considering the majority of rsx in socal are ridiculously over priced or completely trashed. Where are you trying to find one?

    • @vanquishstorm3806
      @vanquishstorm3806 6 лет назад +1

      That's good that you found a good deal. I been searching a lot on Craigslist, OfferUp etc.. The ones in dealerships from what I've seen in NJ tend to be very overpriced. The ones I've found on Craigslist have been poorly modified and most sellers have no documentation nor recollection of any maintenance history nor records. In fact ,when you ask the seller for any vehicle history they tend to get annoyed and expect you to buy a check engine light headache. I'm being patient in the hunt and hopefully I'll come across a clean stock one. It doesn't matter if it's the base or type-s as long as it's a clean stock car.

    • @jonsauce
      @jonsauce  6 лет назад

      man i feel that. Im not too sure about east coast pricing but Im sure going to some dealership would be more worth it than taking a risk on some stranger from craigslist. I think i paid a little too much for mine but hey over a year later its still running fine. I think the few hundred youll pay extra from a dealer is worth the ease of mind. I hope you find your rsx man because they are awesome!

    • @vanquishstorm3806
      @vanquishstorm3806 6 лет назад +1

      Thank you. I'm going to try and find a clean stock one at a dealer. Even if it costs more, I wont have to deal with the headache of buying from third party sellers. That's great that your car is still running fine after a year of ownership. Hopefully your car runs trouble free for many more years to come.

      Thank you! This was almost 4 years ago, I bought it for 5000 from a used car dealership in San Diego. I did think I overpaid a little at the time. But it was a great car for 3 years that never gave me any problems. I ended up getting 4000 back when I sold it, but that was with a couple of goodies on it too.
