Hey guys,
Looking at an 09 TSX w/ Tech Pkg and was curious if there is anything I should look out for or inspect before pulling the trigger.
It has 82K miles and the dealer is asking $15K. The CARFAX doesn't show anything. It was a 3 yr lease then someone bought it. So I'd be the 3rd owner. Body looks good - it's dark grey - and the paint looks uniform no visible signs of prior body work. There are some spots of touch up paint on the rear bumper but typical for a car this age. Otherwise the rest of the body is in great shape - no scratches. The headlights are a little faded but I guess I can replace or try and sand/buff.
Engine looks - well like an 82K mile car. I drove it and it drives fine. I hear a rattle in the rear deck and possibly the front passenger's door but otherwise it's solid. It rattles only when driving not when stopped and with the radio I'm sure that can be easily fixed.
What big maintenance items will I face soon? What are your thoughts for someone looking at a car this old with avg number of miles...
Thanks in advance!!
