Nothing too major. It has had it's regular scheduled maintanance. I have only had to deal with a slow openning/closing sunroof that was a $3 fix (white lithium grease can from Autozone), a e-brake light that came on during hard braking ($3 fix with some brake fluid from Kragens), and a pricey but very much needed timing belt/water pump/drive belts/tensioner/cam seals replacements ($750 at a honda-acura specialist).
I bought the car from a guy who bought it at a dealer with 120K, and he had all the recipts for it's scheduled maintance. Man the previous owners were no joke. They took it in for every little thing! I mean little. These guy's must not know or cared to turn a wrench, but I can't say that I blame them. It belonged to a travel agency executive for it's first 110K miles then this internet guy for the last 10K miles, so it was very pampered (good for me). The 2nd owner had a friend who worked in the dealer and he bought it from him for $17K about 1.5 years ago and I bought it from him for only $8K. The poor guy lost his job, is getting a divorce, and moved in back with his parents. He's in his late 40's or early 50's, so I can tell he didn't race the car. Both owners were older guys and made no mods to it at all.
I had a pre purchase inspection done ($65 Foreign shop) on it before I traveled to L.A. to give him my offer. Sure it has a few dings but after so many miles, it's bound to have some, but no major dents and no accidents (Carfax report $20).
When I took it into the shop to get the timing belt service, the owner commented how great the car's condition was (exterior/interior and mechanical) for it's milage.
There were things like broken/stolen "H" emblems on the hood, but that was and has been the extent of it.
