you don't really think you can find a TSX for this much money, do you?

Артём, теперь за 3 копейки ты хочешь целый духовой оркестр???

you probably will not understand the joke, but if you ask your parents, or better yet, your grandparents (I hope thay are OK and doing well), they might be able to explain this saying... lol...

without any jokes, a 2004 TSX can easily be had for 10G... a 2005 for 10G might be a little stretch but still doable... from a dealer...
from a private person, you might get 2005, or even a 2006 model... and if you are super lucky - 2007...

but don't listen to me, do a research...

If you truly need a beater, get an 89-90 Corolla. 5speed, manual windows, no other creature comforts other than AC and power steering. nothing to break, parts a plenty, easy to work on.

The rust is going to eat something.

So let it eat the Accord.

so now my list is Honda Accord or Acura TL - TSX
or I find a sick beater 89-90 corolla...

TSX 6-speed all the way, shift action is great, Honda reliability, you won't be disappointed.

I would get the Acura(s) More options and features than Accord.
I used to have a 94 Legend Coupe 6-sp.

acura over honda?!

TSX or newer TL or accord coupe v6 ?

[Ricky Bobby]

Well the Acura's interior and features (more luxury) would make me choose those 2 over an accord coupe v6. Honda interiors are plain, boring, and put you to sleep. The Acuras should be a step above, I would hope.

Not to mention I associate accord coupes (I don't care if its a V6) with women.

Btw with what you are looking at, this has turned into a "recommend me a daily" thread, as I don't consider those cars beaters. I'm still wondering why guys on the forum consider a 10 year old base level (i.e. not 4.6 or 4.8is) E53 to be made into a garage queen, or a "weekend car", these are meant to be driven.


Want my honest opinion? Fix the X5 up as best as you can, drive it daily in the winter and on bad weather days. You want to park the X5 most nice days in the spring/summer/fall? Take 5k, buy yourself a used Suzuki SV650 or Gladius, get your MC endorsement, and spend the difference or a few bucks more for armored gear and a good full face.

Will give you 1,000 times more enjoyment than dailying an Acura and garaging a 6 cylinder E53, and will cost about half the price of what you were looking to spend.

I like the TL better than TSX (European Accord)
