There is a 1998 Acura RL for sale on Craigslist for $2,300. It has 71,000 miles and needs the power steering pump replaced. I was looking for a '96-'98 TL, but there is not a lot out there, at least where I live. I really want a car that drives exactly like my '98 3.2 TL. Would this RL be a good replacement? Kelley Blue Book seems to value it significantly higher than the TL, but I don't know why.

 

RLs are the "flagship" car of the Acura brand. TLs are midsize luxury sedans. RL>TL>TSX

 

Is the RL larger than the TL?

 

^yes. because its the flagship!

 

post link to ad! I wanna see her!!

 

^ These were the pictures the seller provided. It looks decent, but the hood looks opened, though I doubt it actually is.

 

Hood might just be misaligned. Go see if you like, or find another 1G TL.

 

Eh, I don't know. If I replaced my TL with an RL, not only would I have to move to the RL forum, but I'd have to change my name to "RLMichelle," lol.

By the way, my TL's headgasket leak seems like it may have improved, though it's hard to tell. I drove it a few hours on Thanksgiving and when I got home, I checked the tail pipe before shutting off the engine and it wasn't smoking. It didn't lose that much coolant, too. Maybe all that sealer gunk I put in there is finally stopping it up. Unfortunately, it has been losing oil, though. I think I added a half of a quart before the trip.
