used car of the day 2003 acura rsx type s

Today's used car of the day is one that speaks to me, personally -- I loved the Acura RSX back in the day.

This one is a 283,000-mile Acura RSX Type-S with a six-speed manual. The owner says it runs well but has paint peel and the driver's seat needs repair. For reasons that aren't clearly explained, the car is badged as a Honda Integra.

The owner is based in Petaluma, California (home of Lagunitas beer, yum), and he or she is asking $3,500 for the car.

Go check it out, especially if you, like me, have a thing for these sporty small cars.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

In a week, this will be slammed and modded beyond recognition.

These are good cars, but this one is completely. used. up. LeMons is the only reasonable use at this point.

I remember getting an RSX (non-S) loaner while my '04 TSX was in the shop getting some damage from a flying piece of scrap metai repaired. it wasn't nearly as refined as the TSX but it was at least as fun to drive.

  TSX is a very underrated car. Wish they still made them.

Wjtinfwb 100k. What happened to the 40k version I reserved back a year + ago? Regardless, since you could by a new Silverado Trail Boss V8 for 60k and put the remaining 40k in a Money Market at 4-5%, why would anyone spend the extra $$$? And please don't make it about the environment. Moving a 3 ton truck through the air is going to take a lot of energy and energy doesn't fall out of trees. Whether Solar, Wind, Nuclear or Mermaid farts, there's a financial and environmental impact. Why not go with the least expensive impact?
Wjtinfwb Oh boy. These "over the air" updates really concern me as well, so much that I've disabled the feature on my '23 Bronco. No issues yet but if a software company the caliber of Apple is challenged by these updates, my confidence in Ford (or GM, Stellantis, BMW, etc.) ability to execute them flawlessly is more than suspect.
