2005 Acura Rsx Type-s Coupe 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars

Year:2005 Mileage:164000
Location:

2005 Acura RSX Type S. 2.0, V-tech, 6 speed manual, 210 hp. One owner car, I bought this new from St. Louis Acura in May of 2005. Almost all the miles are highway miles. Going to and from work, 40 miles each way, 5 days a week. Always serviced and had the oil changed with full synthetic every 5000 miles. The motor is completely stock besides an Injen cold air intake and a Magna flow muffler. The car has 164,000 miles. It gets around 30-32 mpg. Never had any issues what so ever. The battery is new as of last year. The tires have around 15,000 miles on them. It has Motegi 17 inch wheels and an after market front bumper (it was backed into and I replaced the stock). It has the a-spec side and rear skirts from the factory. Never been in an accident. As you can see it has been well maintained and always taken care of. The only issues are cosmetic - the black weather strip on the drivers side window is wearing off, it has a few rock chips on the front bumper - no dents or dings anywhere, and the paint is slightly cracked over the rear drivers side tire which I have shown in a picture. 

I have about 10 miles on a new oil change, and the tires were rotated and balanced last week. It's in the garage and I won't be driving it any longer.

Car must be picked up or have shipping arranged, Cash only.

If you have any additional questions feel free to ask and I will answer them asap.

*I do not have the stock wheels or the stock front bumper.

Acura ILX headed for Civic-like early upgrades

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

The not-yet-ready-for-primetime 2012 Honda Civic saw it quickly returned to sender for refurbishment, now the Acura ILX is headed in the same direction in its very first year. Automotive News reports that the small, Civic-based sedan from Honda's luxury brand isn't meeting sales expectations, with an annualized rate of 22,000 to 24,000 sales instead of the 30,000 the company is after. More telling is that the ILX "is being outsold by the Buick Verano, Volkswagen CC and Audi A4," and, except for two months since it launched, it has also been outdone by the Acura TSX it is meant to replace.
Part of the cause has been the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine: its 150 horsepower to motivate a sedan that can weigh up to 2,970 pounds doesn't offer the kind of performance or value experience that buyers in the segment respond to. Another big issue is that the top-level 2.4-liter engine is only offered with a six-speed manual even though most buyers of the highest trim don't really want to shift their own gears. Lastly, the ILX might not put enough space between it and its frugal underpinnings - our first drive review pegged it as "the world's nicest Honda Civic."
An automatic transmission is on the way for the 2.4-liter, but it isn't clear when. And while Honda admits that the 2.0-liter is underpowered and Automotive News says it's on the way out, the company hasn't yet said how that situation will be corrected.

Acura TLX's early sales results look promising

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

Acura made a bold move earlier this year when it decided to axe two fairly popular models in the TL and TSX and replaced them with a single sedan: the TLX. After all, how often have you seen modern automakers consolidating vehicles in the lineup? But early indications have shown that the gamble might have paid off, at least so far, because the TLX has been outselling its predecessors for its first months on sale.
Acura has only released TLX sales numbers so far for August and September, but the results have been promising. In August, the company moved 2,286 of the new sedans, beating last year's figures for the same month from both the TL at 2,227 sold and the TSX at 1,755. Then in September, the newcomer did even better with 3,884 units leaving dealers to surpass the two previous vehicles combined from their 2013 monthly stats.
According to The Truth About Cars, the TLX's September numbers were even more impressive when looking even deeper into Acura sales history. It claims that you would have to go back to March 2011 when the TL sold 3,995 units to have seen it beat the new TLX. And the TSX hasn't surpassed the latest model's figure since December 2010.

Honda is first Japanese carmaker to be a net-exporter from US

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Over the last decade or so, many foreign automakers have challenged the idea of what defines an "American car," but Honda took things a step further last year by exporting more cars out of the US than it imported in. Reuters is reporting that in 2013, a total of 108,705 Honda and Acura models were exported from the US with only 88,357 being shipped in. This gives Honda a net exporter status here, and makes it the first of such among the major Japanese automakers.
Honda's US imports have been dropping over the last five years while its exports have been steadily increasing. In 2008, the report indicates that Honda shipped 187,000 vehicles to the US and exported only 20,000, and even by 2012 Honda still favored imports with 136,000 imports and 74,000 exports. The article says that US-made Honda and Acura vehicles were exported to 50 countries with most ending up in Mexico, but the big news is that the Honda's US production set a record in 2013 with 1.3 million units built.
