Seems like such a waste to need to use premium for such a low output motor.

get the 2004 with low mileage., its still a tsx so even if its the "base" model, how much "base" can it really get?

asian_XL · 06-09-2011, 04:34 PM

what's the price difference?

How can the OP get it if the person trying to sell it keeps flaking out

Get the base with low kms. Wasn't the only option for the car the tech package with navi? Fully loaded TSX is different from a fully loaded 3 series.

So my buddy gave this guy the benefit of the doubt and made arrangements to see it right now. Waiting for him at the moment, he told to meet him right now. Buddy Calls him and says
"hey I'm here right now"
Seller says. " sorry I'm showing the car right now to somebody else"
Buddy: " how long will you be?" ( Seller already made arrangements to meet at 7)
Seller : " I don't know , I'll call u when I'm done"

What a piece of work this guy is.

I would take neither....

2005 too high clicks for me
2004..even tho low clicks were notorious for A/C and radio issues where you had to get the center peice repaired/replaced for a couple thousands....

id say just wait it out and find something youre more comfortable...

for the record i have a 05 tsx...if you have any questions feel free to let me know
i have also gotten 500kms a tank before with just city driving

icemiko · 06-10-2011, 09:00 AM

If I was you I'd keep looking, I have a TSX and I'll tell you this.

2004 is the 1st year of the TSX so that's the year that'll have the most problems if any. Check out TSXclub.com on the common problems experienced for the 04 TSX.

2005 TSX's actually do not have bluetooth and the navi is useless since it's 6 yrs old and all the maps will be outdated. The 06+ is the year you want if you want bluetooth.

Also, the TSX requires 91 although I have seen people put in 87 and 89 and it's not really that good on gas, on a full tank you get around 450-500km (80% city driving) and it cost like $80 to fill up.

I would go the lower KM route. You'll need to do more maintenance which in the end would cost more than those options.

You can easily add a new DVD player + navi for around 1K in the TSX.

swfk · 06-10-2011, 06:26 PM

I have a 07 TSX non-navi and I *HATE* the bluetooth. To set it up you have to record your voice the numbers that you think you would call often. The system stores up to 20 or 30 numbers I can't remember exactly.

I didn't store past 6 numbers because the voice recognition is horrible while trying to dictate your voice as you say the numbers out. When you want to call someone you say "Call <name>" the system will ask "Would you like to call <another damn name>" cuz names that are close will mix up.

Numerous times where I end up calling the wrong person. The bluetooth system on the TSX (07' non-navi at least) is horrible.

As for fuel economy, it's decent on 6MT. Highway I can manage 6.8L/100km and city I'll do about 11L/100km. 91 octane from Petro-Canada. Not sure about 5AT

hk20000 · 06-12-2011, 06:27 AM

at that kind of fuel economy and price OP might as well get a TL Type S...

hear-it-first · 06-12-2011, 10:17 PM

Based on the info you have given, I would say right off the bat that option #1 would be better. Why? Because the car will last longer and will probably have a greater value in the future than if you chose option #2.

How is having a navi installed a hassle when you can let someone do it for you? If you ever do want it later on, and you have the money, and that all things are possible, then it shouldn't be a problem. As for bluetooth, do you want the pleasure of speaking back and forth with your stereo? If so, wouldn't it be better to invest in a bluetooth headset, in exchange for a better valued car? Have you thought about privacy concerns when others are in your car while you are on your integrated bluetooth?
