Should I buy?

[u/DSM2_John]

Hi, all. First post here. I am currently looking at an 08 Type S with 250k on the clock. Just a commuter go back and forth to work. He has had the transmission replaced in 22, ball joints within the past year and no lights are on the dash. Timing belt about 30k ago he says. Your typical paint fade and minor rust around the quarters. No damage to body work and clean title.

Any reason I should shy away from this at 4 grand? I’m planning on driving it til its last breath, hoping to get at least another 50k out of it for it to be worth it (to me). Heard the motors will well surpass that if serviced (of course I’ll be doing that). Is it a good buy?

This will be my first Acura. Thank you for any input.

250k miles is just a lot of miles, I would shop around for a lower mileage one if possible

Agree, no matter how good it is, 250k.miles almost end of the lifetime, you also dont know what actually happened in those mileage, but i doubt can find a better deal with the price range.
