Default Anything I need to worry about with buying a used '03 Acura RSX-type S 50k miles?

Not sure whether to get RSX or used '03 Accord coupe EX with 50k miles. What will have less problems in the long run? (from 50k miles to 100k miles).

well both are Hondas, in the long run i would say the accord would give u less problems. its your decision if u want a lighter car thaas quick off the line or a the accord its quick too if its a v6, it has more torque and is a lil heavier, personally id go with the accord

There are a lot of factors in this decision i.e. whether the car was owned by a little old lady or by a teenager, or whether the car is an automatic or a manual in which the previous owner couldn't drive standard. I would take them both to a trusted local mechanic and get his opinion on them. Most shops do not charge you if you have been there before. I would follow their advice. Good Luck.
