It's actually not my car, but I bought his old suspension. That's a cat that works down @ CCW and it's his daily driver. I plan to be set up like that once I get off my ass and install the suspension.

First post on the forums yet.
Picked up a 96 RL last week for $5200 cdn with only 115k kms
heated storage during the winters is my current plan while I drive my beater 96 corolla. I'm trying to keep it in showroom shape without spending too much money. I'll be around looking for ideas on possible modifications.

No apologies needed.

Hey ryk.
If you don't mind telling...what does this set up cost round about? I'm interested in setting mine down a little bit to make it stand apart more, but don't want to sink too much into it due to it being my everyday driver.
Thanks in advance.

98 RL Base 194k miles; bought in July 2007 with 148k miles. Replaced radiator which failed at 165k mi and had EGR intake manifold cleaned. Rear suspension was too soft and worn out so replaced rear struts with used 2004 struts with about 60k mi on them. The springs were upgraded in 2002 (I think) and these 04 struts resolved the rear suspension problems. Also replaced hood struts. That's about it. Great car.

2000 pearl white, tan/brown interior, 98000 miles, w/o nav, bose sound, was my mother-in-law's she upgraded her ride and passed her RL on to me, so far i like it a lot, it's a significant change from my previous ride which was a mercury grand marquis... looking forward to getting to know you guys and learning more about this great vehicle.

Hello my name is Warren and I was recommended to come aboard on here from my friend Ryk. I just purchased a 99 RL. Its white with a tan interior. Mileage is a little high and I purchased it with front end damage. However for the price I paid I think I got a great deal! Not bad for $700. I failed to mention as well is that I flip cars on the side of my business and if anyone is selling front end parts for this vehicle I'm definitely interested at this time. Good to meet everyone and look forward to sharing my knowledge as well as learning from you guys as well.
