Should i buy a non-certified used Acura TSX or a certified Acura TSX?

I'm looking into buying a 2006 Acura TSX. I'm looking at one which is $3500 less than another one. They both have roughly the same miles, so they are almost identical cars. Both have clean carfax histories as well. Is it really worth spending the extra $3500 on the... Read More

  • I don't know how it works there but here its just easier to buy it already certified and e-tested. Its better for them (seller) to pay for any repairs required then you a week later. During a certification they check everything brakes, floor boards, safety features, exhaust, all being fairly pricey repairs. Spend some... Read More
  • Not really sure if the price makes that justifiable. I just picked up a 2004 TSX from an older couple that bought it new and had all the repairs done at the Acura dealer, which one amounted to brakes and tires, so that was the better deal for me. Not sure what the dealer wanted to give them on trade, but I got it for... Read More
  • You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one, for example here - carquotes.fateback.com
  • go with the certified it is usually 100-150 point inspection, additional warranty for an extra year or 12000 miles. i just got a certified tl and it rocks.
  • I personally own a 06 tsx, bought new 11/06. I have all the service done regularly at the acura dealer. If properly maintained you will not have problems. My car has 94,000+problem free miles-love it.

Other Choices:

Shoppers looking at the 2009 Acura TSX will probably be considering other front-wheel drive vehicles, and possibly all-wheel drive vehicles, but more expensive rear-wheel-drive sport sedans such as the BMW 3-Series and Lexus IS are likely above their budget and wants. The Subaru Legacy GT has performance that rivals the TL, though its handling is a little more crisp and all-wheel drive makes it more all-weather-friendly. The Legacy’s back seat is also tight. However the Legacy isn’t as quiet and refined as the Acura. The Nissan Maxima is another alternative; it’s not as feature-rich as the TSX, but it has a torquey V-6 engine that gives it scorching acceleration off the line. The base, front-wheel-drive Audi A4 2.0T is also a worthy competitor, with similarly good fuel efficiency and edgier performance without a sacrifice in ride. Versus any of these competitors, there’s another big selling point: Acura dealerships.
