BUT, give the car 6 months and the fact that you’ve only had to do the required oil changes and not fix anything will make you forget all about anything plastic. This. I bought my acura (not a tsx but its still a K series) with 68XXX miles on it. Its up to 121XXX and besides oil changes and general maintenance (gear oil change, valve adjustment, filters, etc…) the only thing I’ve had go wrong was the alternator at about 100K, and the starter at about 115K. Which for the miles didn’t come as a surprise. Fuck, judging by the date on the battery its got the original battery still in it. I should really replace that haha as a preventative but it fires up every time and is never slow to crank. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-car-time-again/264173)._
