Used Acura cars for sale near Columbus, OH under $3,000

First of all, the dealership had a car I was interested in. The dealership was ready for my appointment and the car was ready to drive. Slight negotiations and we finalized the deal. The dealership exceeded my expectations.

Bought this car brand new in 2005. Followed regularly recommended maintenance, and I have had zero issues. Style, drive handling, comfort, safety, and most importantly, reliability. Simply, an excellent vehicle.

I got my 2004 Acura TSX in July of 2004. After 20 years, 170,000 miles of hard driving, I finally traded it in. It still had good acceleration and I loved the handling. No major repairs in all that time - I've never driven a car that was reliable. Only reason I traded it in was something bigger for the family, and AWD for the upper Midwest winters. Fantastic car!

I have owned 4 acura Rsx-S from 2001 to 2004 they are all rock solid cards, mechanically unstoppable , only down side is rust. But if you can find a clean one it'll run until the end of time with proper maintenance even if heavily abused.

Friday Feb. 16th, I went in on a spur of the moment to look for a car for my family. I am a single mom of toddler twins, an 8 yr that lives in Cali and a 16 yr old man child. I needed a car with plenty of space, that was reliable to get me to Cali to see my 8 yr old and that was safe for the twins. Jesse was the first to approach me! He was very kind and seemed to understand exactly what my family needed. He showed me their 2015 Ford Flex (I love flex’s so I was mostly already sold!) I took it for a test drive and decided to go for it! She was perfect for my family! I noticed by Sunday the car started to jolt. I had a feeling it was either a misfire in one of the cylinders or the tranny was slipping. By the following Tuesday morning, I went to get coffee before work and the check engine light came on. I emailed the guys there, and calmly voiced my frustration and said that I would be missing work that day to bring it back in. When I pulled back up, I was greeted by Chris and Jesse. I explained to them what had happened. Chris ran a code reader on it, sure enough it was a 4th cylinder misfire! Jesse introduced me to Thor, the mechanic next door and he said he’d get it fixed up! I was so pleased! We went over prices and what it would cost to switch it out. And it was way cheaper than going to Jiffy Lub to have it done there!! Which made me even more happier! Given Kitty (My Flex) was my only transportation, the guys decided to allow me to borrow one of their cars off the lot while Kitty was getting worked on. All of these guys, Jesse, Chris, Drew, Brad and Thor, are all such wonderful people!!! Very friendly! Very welcoming! Willing to listen to frustrations and concerns! Just amazing people!!! By midday Wednesday, Drew calls me on my lunch to inform me that Kitty was all done being worked on and she runs like new! Man, I was so excited to get off work to go pick her up! Drew also told me that they felt that with me only having the car a few days, that it wouldn’t be right to have me pay for the work. I was so shocked and surprised when he said that, I cried!!! Not only did they switch out the bad spark plug, they went ahead and replaced ALL SIX OF THEM!! WHEN I SAY THESE GUYS ARE AMAZING, THATS A HUGE UNDERSTATEMENT!!!!! I would absolutely recommend anyone and everyone to get a car from their lot!!!! They don’t treat you like you’re just another customer, they really treat you and take care of you like family!!!! My Kitty runs soooooooo amazingly!!!! From the very very deepest parts of our hearts, THANK YOU TO ALL FIVE OF YOU GUYS!!!! We sure love our Kitty and I can’t wait to take her to Cali at the end of next month!!!

I've had this car for maybe 15 years. I'm the second owner. When I got it it needed axles and it ran kinda rough. Took a while to figure out the engine was hurt. The kid that had it drove it from Ventura County, to San Bernardino during one of the hottest times of the year. Well it over heated and he drove it back to Ventura instead of letting cool. I was able to get another Type S engine. Since then the car has 249k miles on it. It has a little wear on the leather, and some dings, but the paint looks great. I like my cars stock, and haven't even changed the radio. I love this car, and I hope to get a lot more miles out of it with the help of a great mechanic and TLC. Yeah, it is quick! I agree with the other revue that the dash vents could have been better thought out.

I have purchased cars from these guys over the years with great results. I recently purchased a 2006 Acura MDX with 193,000 miles. The miles scared me a little bit but the one owner car has all of the service records from the Acura dealership and runs great. My last car was a BMW X5 and that thing was a money pit! Constant repairs. This Acura has all of the features that the BMW had (heated leather seats, rear view camera, bluetooth, etc) with a 6 cylinder, 24 valve V Tech engine that is as fast as the BMW V8 engine at about half the cost of gasoline. Don't let the high miles scare you. These guys only purchase vehicles that meet their strict guidelines. They have been in the business for many decades and they know how to pick good cars. I waited 2 months before putting this review and I like the car even more than when I first purchased it. No problems at all. Keep up the good work guys. It's hard to find trustworthy dealers anymore.

I drove my 2001 Acura CL 3.2, (my dad's "hand me down") to a fun, reliable flawless 184,000 miles before selling it yesterday. I already miss it, and 22 years later, hoping to find a late model Acura, or any model that will give me comparable performance and feel.

Bill Saccucci, the owner, is by far the most honest and helpful used car proprietor I have ever known. He will always treat a customer honest fair and true. Anyone considering purchasing a used car should not only rest assured that Bill has taken a through look and made all necessary repairs to ensure your satisfaction in your purchase. You will also want to listen and take advantage of the warranties that Bill recommends for you. After your purchase you can expect to be treated like a family member. He will always have his technicians look for potential parts failures and address them before you get stuck waiting for a tow truck. Your warranty will more than likely pay for itself in future savings. It has done so for me. I have dealt with Saccucci's for close to 25 years. You will thank me after you meet Bill.

This was my first car. It is worth keeping in mind my sister took care of the car and did all the maintenance before handing it over to me. In my one year owning this the most important thing to know is that this car stands out. Parked in my schools parking garage it noticeably stands out compared to all the newer cars there but to me that’s what makes it unique. Its interior looks better than some newer cars. It has features that some 2025 cars don’t even have. Audio is good. Exterior paint isn’t the best when it comes to wear and tear but its manageable. Its quick off the line. I love it when it comes to taking off from red lights. Its not fast if you’re an enthusiast but for the average person its got enough power to make commuting fun. My only drawback is gas mileage. Its not great. I usually have to get gas one a week or once every 2 weeks. Also this is a full size sedan. So parking in tight spaces is a bit of a challenge because the hood is quite long. Seats aren’t the most comfortable on long drives either. They’re pretty stiff so my butt gets numb while doordashing. Other than that this is an amazing car

Awesome working with Victor, he is a very nice salesman. i must say that best dealership hands down.. just love it & truly impressed highly

I bought 2011 Honda Pilot EX in 2016 from East Coast Auto Source. It had bullet holes in the body and some shot out windows. I repaired the bullet holes, and had the other repairs completed. Car ran well and it needed some other work. Nine years later, we have 211,000 more miles on the Pilot. It was a good price and East Coast Auto Source was upfront and honest about the repairs and had the car shipped to my mechanic. I would bought another car in 2024 from them and I am happy with the deal.

I've been very happy with my 2004 Acura TSX with 350,099 miles! The 1st owner was a family member whom had to buy a truck for work & so I ended up buying the Acura off of them! Love this car & I have only had to buy a alternator, battery, ball joints on each side in front, of course tires every 2 1/2 - 3 years! The radio works only for 3 minutes once I push the power button, #1 & #6 button all @ the once time & then press #2 & as I said then hear the radio for 3 minutes! I can turn up the radio volume really loud & once the radio goes off I can hear threw the speakers very a faint sound of whatever station you have before the radio turned off! Other then that this car is the best car that I've ever had!

Comfortable car w/ great pick up. all the luxuries '03 offers. It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. very comfortable seating w/heat for cold winter days.

We had a great experience here! The staff were friendly and helpful. Shout out to Greg! We were very satisfied with the whole experience. It was fun. We got a great car for such a low price; we are so amazed and pleased! Ill be telling my friends!

Ive had my 2010 acura for 3 months now and i love it. Its a pretty fast car, fun to drive! I love it. Cons- Car loves gas, im filling up almost everyday Suspension is too low ride is a little bumpy

Mine is a 1998 with 156k on the ODO and it's 2024 and it's not leaking oil. Every car I've ever owned over 10 years old did. It leaks power steering fluid very quickly and I've never had that happen before. I had a 1975 AMC Hornet a few years ago and it leaked everything but power stearing. But to be fair it's not going to destroy the car if I don't replace it. I've driven the car for a year so far and outside of difficulty making tight turns, it's fine. The drivers door latch sometimes sticks and the door can't close, but 30 seconds with a screw driver and it's as good as new and the trunk latch does the sane thing once in a while. It's a 25 year old car and it isn't leaking anything but power steering. However, after I bought it a year ago the entire breaking system went completely out and cost $1700 to fix. So, there's that. Entirely new breaks and break lines all around. Everything except the master cylinder.

The dealership responded quickly and were knowledgeable about the vehicle I was interested in. They also maintained contact even though I didn’t purchase that particular car.

ACURA TSX IS THE BEST CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED!! I bought her in 2009 with 75,000 miles she now has over 220,000. I have done maintenance and a few repairs. My certified Honda/ Acura mechanic says she will go forever. Simply amazing car for the money.

I own a 2002 Acura MDX Touring SUV which I had purchased brand new. It now has 296,000 miles. The only major repair was a transmission overhaul at about 235,000 miles. I gave the car to my son who is only 4 years older than the vehicle. He uses the vehicle for short distance (under 30 miles of driving). It has been rear ended four times and side swept once. No one in the vehicle was injured. It is still giving 18 mpg on 89 octane gas, just like it did when it was new. Never even changed the spark plugs! I change oil (synthetic) every 10,000 miles. Never let me down!

They were kind and efficient. The battery was weak because they had the car for a while. They replaced the battery after the sale was finished.

Bought car new May of 2015. We change the oil every 3000 miles and maintain any problem. We now have 278,000 miles on it and it still runs strong and smooth on the highway ( just drove 1000 miles to Ft. Myers) at 80 mph.

Incredible service and great value. Purchased my Nissan versa from John who was ever so patient and took His time to help this nervous shopper. What really helped my decision to buy here was the fact that they did not charge me a convenience fee to use my Card. I got a really good deal because the car is great And I really love it.

The last car I owned- a silver 2004 TL. I traded in my 1993 Vigor (after 11 years of Japanese car excellence- no issues or problems ever) for it and was instantly enamored. Looked great, handled beautifully, an absolute pleasure to drive. Gas prices were still reasonable in the mid-00’s and gas mileage was reasonable. I finally had to (very begrudgingly) sell it after 3 years as the combination of car payment, insurance and garage parking in downtown Philadelphia began exceeding $1,000/month. The model I had is now hard to believe 20 years old, but if given the opportunity I’d take it back in a second.

They went above and beyond and sent my title via FedEx within 2 weeks of vehicle purchase and release.

Got used in mid 2025, 12 years old. I would rather drive a more modern car on the road, expressway or trip. I love this car around town, it has been wonderful. I am totally impresssed.

Jeb was very responsive and communicated well about the car listing i was interested in. They were very honest about the car's condition and willing to work with us on the price. They had no problem letting us take the car to get inspected & the result matched what the told us before hand. Would recommend highly.

Acura is a Honda product all Honda and Acura products are 5 out of 5 I used to have a 1997 Acura RL with 360,000 mi on it

This was my first car that I bought used in 2022 at 120K miles I have since added another 10K within a year. Be mindful that while this car is "higer-performing" it also comes with higher maintenance costs. Don't be fooled by "its a Honda, it lasts forever needing nothing", but also don't be alarmed as it can be your bargaining chip when buying. Upon purchase of the vehicle I checked for several things that are known to go out for this model given the mileage/age. They are the following: Disconnecting bluetooth receiver ----Known to go bad and drain the battery overnight. Lower Arm Control Bushings ----If torn/rotting, car sways excessively when turning, accelerating or braking hard. Timing belt + tensioner ----Failure to do so at specified time/mileage interval risks destroying the engine. Water pump ----Done during timing belt work, replace if leaking as its cheaper in the long run. Oil pump seal ----Very common on higher mileage TLs, dirt cheap part but high labour cost to fix. Rear sway bar links ----Rear end skids out during quick tight turns. All 3 engine mounts ----The V6 puts more strain/wear on them leading to vibration felt in steering wheel during idle while stopped. Lower ball joints. *Super critical* ----Failure causes the wheel to pop out and risks totalling the vehicle when moving at speed. In 2023+ if you're going for a 3G TL expect to do almost all of this if the previous owner has not done them recently. The auto transmissions should also have a 3x3 drain/fill if not previously done along with new 3 & 4 pressure switches and the filter.(Acurazine has many posts on why this is needed). Simply put failure to do so risks burning out and totalling the transmission. The autos are sufficiently reliable *if* fully maintained. The labour cost alone for all the work above can be more than half the vehicles value. Doing the work yourself cuts down the cost by like 70% + you gain the confidence, knowledge and experience of working on your own car. On top of all of this it *needs* 91 Premium gas (Costco is your friend). Not only will your mpg be lower but if the previous owners did not follow this guideline, you are inheriting premature engine failure. The knock sensor cannot prevent pre-ignition. Pre-ignition will wear out the crankshaft bearings on top of carboning the oil control rings leading to oil consumption. This dramatically decreases the life of the engine. Cosmetically at this age/mileage you'll be lucky to get seats that are not torn, mirrors that are not burnt and a dash that isn't cracked. (I was that lucky person). These are well known worn-out items for high-mileage TLs. The legroom to this year (2023), is still one of the greatest in its class while the bolstered leather seats are snug, comfy and smooth to slide into (If properly conditioned). Acura puts on a heavier paint coat on its vehicles compared to Honda. If the paint is peeling/faded its a sign the vehicle spent its entire life outdoors (expect external rubber parts to be worn out too). With just some polish and wax mine looked like it just left the factory. All being said, the 3G TL offers a very smooth power curve and the double wishbone (while stiff over rough roads) is most noticeable on tight curves and quick lane changes. When you punch it, V-Tec combined with the Intake resonators make the engine audibly come alive, it always puts a smile to my face. The UA6 TL is effortless on the highway, where it truly belongs. It's an excellent highway commuter/cruiser, routinely yielding over 32mpg. However if you tend to be stuck in stop & go/ city traffic expect under 20mpg. I intend on keeping her another 100K miles. Beware the initial purchase once-and-done maintenance costs and the high-octane gas. Push through that and you'll be rewarded with a great reliable vehicle that truly doesn't need anything more.

Owned the car for a few weeks and am impressed by its handling and fuel economy given it has 131k on it. Fun to drive.
