Check the condition boxes
The 12-point condition list is the whole pricing basis. Report a failed smog, a failing catalytic converter, or a dead battery up front and it is priced in, not discovered later.

What we buy — your TSX included
- Japanese vehicles of any age — Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Subaru hold up in Southern California, and we price them that way.
- Fixable issues welcome — Battery, glass, panels, and exterior damage from the 12-point checklist — each priced in plainly.
- Most 2010-and-newer cars — Sedans, SUVs, and vans from any maker, clean or with fixable issues.
- Trucks of any age — Pickups are the top of our want list — working trucks, high-mileage trucks, Japanese trucks included.
Where the line is
We buy the cars the big guys reject — but we are not a junk buyer. These fall outside this buying program, and we would rather tell you now than waste your time:
- No working key
- Blown engine
- Shot transmission
- Major structural damage
- Heavily stripped
- Trash-filled or severely neglected
The TSX generations we buy
The first-generation TSX (2004-2008) was the US version of the Japanese/European Honda Accord, with a high-revving 2.4L K24 four-cylinder and an available six-speed manual. The larger second generation (2009-2014) added an optional 3.5L V6 and, from 2011, a Sport Wagon body style. The TLX replaced both the TSX and TL for 2015.
The manual-transmission and Sport Wagon versions are the hardest to find in Southern California and draw a distinct enthusiast audience. Note the body style and transmission clearly, and keep A/C service records — working air conditioning is non-negotiable for most Orange County buyers.
Common TSX problems we still buy
Power steering pump and rack leaks
First-generation cars are known for power steering pump o-ring and hose leaks that cause whine and fluid loss, and steering racks can weep with age. Low fluid quickly makes the steering heavy and noisy.
A/C compressor failure
A/C compressors and their relays fail on these cars, sometimes sending debris through the system that requires a fuller repair than the compressor alone. In a warm climate this is often the failure that prompts a sale.
Automatic transmission wear (V6 and high-mile cars)
Five-speed automatics hold up well with fluid service but can develop shift flare and shudder when neglected, and the more powerful V6 works its transmission harder. Service history is the best predictor.
Oil consumption on high-mile K24 engines
Aging 2.4L engines can consume oil between changes as piston rings and seals wear. It rarely strands a car, but low oil accelerates timing chain and VTC actuator wear and causes start-up rattle.
Every one of these is a condition answer on the form — report it and it is priced in from the start, never discovered at pickup.
TSX seller questions
How much is my TSX worth?
It comes down to the individual car: year, mileage, trim, and the 12 condition answers. We review every application by hand and send one clear offer, guaranteed for 7 days when the car matches its description — no automated lowball and no haggling at the curb.
Can I sell a TSX with a lien or a lost title?
Yes to both — name the lender or pick the title situation that matches yours in the form. Complicated paperwork is part of what we handle, and we explain the correct next step before scheduling.
My TSX has power steering pump and rack leaks. Will you still buy it?
In most cases, yes — that is a known TSX issue and it is priced into the offer from the condition answers you submit, not discovered at pickup. Describe it honestly and the offer already reflects it.
Do you buy a TSX that failed smog?
Yes. Smog failure is one of the 12 condition answers, so the offer accounts for it up front. You do not need to pay for diagnosis, repairs, or a retest before pickup.
