Yep, you read that right. :D

It's a '99 coupe, automatic V6. Leather interior, 115k miles, DEP - not the original paint, but it's a damn good paint job and I'm picky about that stuff. No pinstripes, door guards, or trunk badges aside from the Honda H. Very clean car. Started right up and I drove it around the parking lot and it seemed fine. It's bone stock aside from some semi-dark window tint and an aftermarket headunit for the stereo.

Girl got a damn TSX Type-S as a gift and is trying to get rid of her first car. She want's $3300 for it, and we might talk her down a little from there. :D

Only two problems I saw was a minor rip in the drivers side seat, whatever... and the Check Engine Light was on, to which she said was a BS sensor that was setting off the code, and that she had taken it to AutoZone and they said it was nothing. She said she was the second owner of the car.

Anything in particular I should look out for? Anything I should check, pay close attention to, etc etc.... I still want to get the VIN to try and have someone run a carfax for me, but other than that I guess. Thanks in advance for any help.

check the TRANY, oh BTW make sure you go underneath and look for any leak like axle, CV joint... Whenever I buy my next car I will either ask them throw on a lift and lift it up or I will bring my own floor jack and look under lol, Raymond there is no such thing as TSX Type S

Maybe a typo? The 'R' key is mighty close to the 'T'

Just a thought before anyone goes nuts about it.
