Used Car of the Day: 2006 Acura RSX Type S
Today we have a 2006 Acura RSX Type S for your perusal.
Yes, this one has the six-speed manual transmission. It's been a daily driver with no track use -- and no wrecks. The mileage is a quite high 204K, and our seller says that the clutch and serpentine belt are new. So, too, are the motor mount and battery.
The seller says the interior is clean and the car drives well -- but it must go due to another member of the household needing an automatic transmission.
You can click here to learn more -- this one is available in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for $10,500 or best offer.

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.

At $5k-$6k, I'm in, for a beater that's 10x as much fun to drive as most beaters.
$10k just seems like a lot given mileage and condition.
with 204k miles and 20 years old, if you give somebody $100, silly Tim, maybe they will agree to take it to the JUNKYARD where it belongs. AND CRUSH the little Civic pretending it's an upscale car. $10,500. ONLY TIM WOULD FIND THIS ATTRACTIVE. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HIM?
My wife to be took one of these out for a test drive with me, sans salesman. Big mistake - I tried to teach her to drive a stick, which didn't go too well. That, and me trying to test that 9K RPM redline on an engine that had 20 miles on it probably didn't do the future owner many favors. I kinda feel bad about it now.
