This is a 2011 with 50k miles, one owner car and its $16k. I might just trade in my CRV and swap cars, the CRV is worth $5k but this car is an hour and 40 min from me and I am usually very busy so it might be worth it to me to trade in the CRV and pay cash for the rest, maybe I can get them down a hair. I changed the axles in my CRV and there is still a little wobble at 20mph accelerating through, if it wasn’t the axles then maybe the diff mount or something. In any case I don’t want to put more money into it. This Acura is super clean from the report and pics. Carfax one owner certified. The rims look rash free, the pics of the doors are scratch free. I’ll have to put a back seat cover on with the pupper! Oh and tint will have to happen. Well my wife wasn’t against it, she hates the CRV. This will be my DD so more comfortable and quieter inside. I sent them a note with my information and CRV info, they are closed so I might go tomorrow if they are down with it all.

Maybe I could get these wheels

If you buy it, your open yourself up to the possibility of Zoidberg stealing your car.

Honda was super late to the push button game, but an Acura with a key still? Come on.

I say do it but for the love of God get those rims in a proper silver. I don't think black would look good on it.

Different country of origin but I traded in a focus hatch for a TDI wagon late last year and love the upgrade.

This guy was on my radar but no dealers around me had one used when I was looking last year.

Yeah I doubt I will change them til it needs new tires, but I will look at what is good on them. I just like the design.

My neighbor has this car as a sedan and I’ve been eyeballing the comfy looking seats!

If I talk to them in the morning and they are ok with my proposal, I might go up after my dental appointment in the morning. My wife is off tuesday so maybe go with her then if they will hold it. I will get out of Sac town asap!

Actually, that doesn't look too bad. Maybe that and then those rims in gunmetal gray. That actually would look really clean imo.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Everyone takes the grille apart and gets it painted to match. The emblem behind the A is black on every color car. I’m not going to worry about the wheels, I will have to see what the tires are like.

Oh it has paddle shifters, never had those! This car has the technology package, seat heaters, the lot! Comes with Michelin tires, looks like.

These are cool wagons. The only complaint I have ever heard is that they are underpowered and slow. Hope that's not the case!

I’ve been to that lot before when I was looking for an M45, but when I got there the car was in worse shape than the pictures showed, so make sure you take a good look at the wagon before pulling the trigger 

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > 415s30 W123TSXWaggoIIIIIIo ( •_•))°) 07/22/2019 at 10:50

I can support this choice.

I really like these, if they had come in Manual I might have bought one. My biggest problem with them tho is the price, they hold their value like... an Acura. Which will be nice when you go to sell it but not so nice when you buy it. 16k is a lot of dough for a 9 year old car.

It does have the paddle shift... It has the then, $3500 tech package too. I might get them down a bit, they have had it two months and dropped the price last month. It’s a one owner 50k car and I looked at the maintenance and it has all been done on schedule by the dealer. It reads like a totally boring old person car, few miles and even the wiper blades were changed at the dealership, who does that!? I’m going to try and just get rid of my CRV with the deal too since its an hour and 40min away and the CRV has been beaten for six years by me in the city. I don’t want to put any money into it. The Car Fax on this says 70k miles under average haha.

Very nice.  I agree with others that I would already own one of these if they can with a 6MT.  I had a Mazda6 wagon 5MT that I liked and this would have been a really nice replacement.

Well I have to go into SF with it a lot and a manual in SF traffic and hills would be annoying. I have a 240Z with a 5 speed swapped and a 1952 Dodge truck so I have plenty of rowing I can do. I wanted a DD that I actually liked and got good MPGs with lots of comfort and a quieter cabin. I wanted to get the Honda Ridgeline actually but they are pretty expensive, I have a kayak and I guess we will see if it can go on this car with a good rack system. My old Dodge goes 55mph so it isn’t really possible to go a few hours away up to Tahoe.

Makes perfect sense and this really seems like a good fit for you. I only get one car still, so I need to keep my stick shift.

Good luck!

Thanks, I talked to the dealer and it seem like he will take my CRV, I just don’t have time for the craigslist buyer parade. Yeah SF traffic and hills with a coffee and a manual, um no! I’m a rigger on shows and I bring a pelican case and a couple gear bags when I go somewhere to work, a hatch ends up being east to load. That Pelican lift over the trunk and down in deep tw eaks my back haha. At some locations we all kind of tail gate too and I can sit on the back of this. The CRV has the side swing door which is annoying, the swing up shields you from rain if you unload and it’s shitty weather.

I’ve always liked these, I think they are the same size so I could swap them out.

Oooh yes. TL-S rims are some of the most beautiful rims ever created.
