I am a new member & this is my first post! I am a die hard Acura lover (have owned 91 & 95 Legends) and want to purchase an older used RL. They seem to be relatively hard to come by! I found a very nice looking 99 RL on Craigslist and would like to hear from other members on whether $7950 is a good price (unfortunately, out of my price range) or if you think I should be able to offer a much lower price. The listed description is as follows:
1999 Acura 3.5RL, 100,XXX miles, 3.5L V-6 motor, timing belt & water pump just done along with NEW TIRES-BRAKES, power heated leather seats, power sunroof, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, power steering wheel, factory radio with disc changer, alloy wheels.

I will appreciate any/all replies & advice!

 

buy it

 

All markets are different but I purchased mine a year ago with 99K for $5000. I had the timing belt done and did new brakes all around. I think you have a lot of wiggle room here.

 

Thanks so much for your input! I was thinking I might offer around 5K, but didn't want to get laughed off the lot!!

 

I bought my 04 last december for 6900 with 150k on it. My neighbor bought his mom an 04 also four months back with 145k on it for 7250.

I've seen several '99s around the country priced a lot lower than this one. For the year, the miles are quite low (in my opinion) and the car appears to be in really nice condition. I'm not a car guru by any means, but I think the price is a bit steep!

 

I did a quick Kellyblue book based on the info you provided on post #1. Here is the result.

 

Thank you so very much for the info. This will help a lot!

Good luck! Keep us posted!

 

Thanks so much, I will!

 

Also, don't forget that the timing belt on this car is a pretty big deal, i think I've seen numbers thrown around that its a $2k job. Plus the new tires, brakes, etc. This car has a long way to go before any maintenance is needed. These cars are extremely reliable to begin with so you won't have to put any money into this car for a loooong time!

 

Bought my 2000 for $4100, Timing belt and water pump done. It did have higher miles 181k But Heck it is a Acura.

Offer 5500 or 5900
