Well after about 6 months of looking, I finally found an X I liked and worth buying. It's an 08 w/ tech package in sterling gray metallic w/ Ebony interior. Second owner(bought at 25k), garage kept, rust free, clean carfax with 115k. Asking 10,800, settled at 9800. The timing belt has not been done yet.
My question is, what should I do now as far as preventative maintenance? I know the timing belt is past due, so that and water pump are first up. That should take care of oil change and new coolant. After reading through the forum I was going to do diff fluid, the special SH-AWD kind I guess it uses, brake fluid, and possibly trans fluid. Also air and cabin air filter. Am I missing anything/going overboard? This is my first Acura and first vehicle with this many miles. Hoping to keep this car for 10 years as my dad mobile.
Little background on me, 30y/o fireman in Pittsburgh, this is my 10th vehicle. I've had everything from an S10 to an S500, few street bikes, few quads, jetskis and a boat. I like to tinker with just about everything, well, as much as my wife will let me anyway haha.
