Hey NS, I'm 16 and I have about 3,500-4,500 to spend on a used car. My friend is selling a used Acura DA with a intake and exhaust. I need an honest opinion on whether this thing is a piece of shit or not.


Also links to other cars that are cheap?

I payed $17000 for my 2005 fxt premium limited with 40k miles.. However, the thing is brand new! It sat in a Florida garage for years and was only taken on minimally. Everything is mint on it. Luckily the guy moved close to Massachusetts and traded it in a local Subaru dealer (where I bought it). But definitely try to get a forester xt! However, they aren't cheap!

exactly, some grandpa probably owned it and used it 2 miles at a time. To pay $8k for a car thats most likely beat to shit and has the possibility of serious internal issues with the mods and whatnot is silly

So true. That's why I'd recommend buying from a dealer, or hire a qualified mechanic to take a detailed look at the car.

No one has even answered OP's question. Typical NSG.

Im pretty sure it has already been mentioned that with that many miles, a 22 year old car is not worth that much
