Thank you for your response. I always like geting responses from ACTUAL owners. I suffered chain tensioner issues on my AP1 S2K, 2006 RSX Type-S and currently, a family member’s 2005 TSX. All of them stock, all of them with religious oil changes (Mobil1 or LiquiMoli). All the failures happened past 100K. My tear down

Hi, I’m here to tell you you’re wrong. We vary rarely see timing chain problems with these. If you neglect your oil changes you could start having issues, but overall these don’t suffer from those problems very often.

Most common wear items we see on these cars is the Compliance Bushings, Power Steering Feed Hose,

I’ll do you one even better, get an aftermarket head unit that has bluetooth built in. The sound quality will be better and you’ll actually notice it since you have the JBL speakers. I got a decent pioneer headunit for a little over $100 a few years ago and it brought my 2004 mitsubishi into this decade.

Tensioner issues only come up if you’re running big aftermarket cams or use dollar store oil and never change it.

Yes but the TSX is a lovely car. Panther platform cars are cool and all but speaking from personal experience the TSX was basically perfect in every way when it came out. 

The TSX with a manual is a fantastic vehicle and they were bombproof reliable.

“these are very well known to have timing chain issues at about 100K.”

Eh, I have a 2007 TSX approaching 200k miles. Just finally needed to replace all that about 20k miles ago. They were all original parts. I replaced with all OEM parts again. Thinking I should hit 300k no problem.

NP for the best TSX body style (except the wagon of similar vintage of course) with 3 pedals.

would make a great first car for someone

Why don’t you have a full set of ES wheels?  I see 2 wheels of one style, and 2 of a different style.

2. Telling people that you have dumped so much money into it and now want out of it is a warning sign to most prospective buyers that something is not well.

“…the seller claims more than $7,000 in parts having gone into it over the course of the past seven years ownership”

Really??? You didn’t go with the obvious 5 GRAND cheaper for a GRAND cherokee? Allow me to demonstrate:
“I’d have reservations on this Cherokee unless it was 5 GRAND cheaper.

Sorry, we have a strict policy of not negotiating with eTerrorists. 

COTD is usually GOOD puns, so maybe try that?

It’d have to be about $5k “jeeper” for me to consider it

It’s not my fault the auto industry has stripped me of my optimism.

And a CVT, because Nissan
