this is a 2006, but almost identical to the 2005.

I want one sooooo bad.
If I had to do it all over again, I would have an RL.
I'd trade my G35s right now for one, but my wife won't let me.


The RL is probably the best kept secret in the car industry, no joke.

money is the only reason not to own one, they're expensive.

 

want it-get it-
personally I only get vehicles with manual transmission

 

If you want a lux sedan, by all means... get an RL. You better keep it too - they lose SO much in depreciation each year. Unfortunately, for all that's very good (not great) about the RL, the demographic that it's supposed to be targeted only cares about brand value and prestige. That's why you can find '05s for sub $20k, and why your TSX of the same year will fetch you almost the same price.

Just for reference, the RL in that pic has $50k+ in mods on it... and while I absolutely think the RL is classy looking and the SH-AWD system is great, I won't buy any car that doesn't have a manny trans. Assuming that isn't a dealbreaker for you, again, just keep in mind the depreciation. If you're rolling over your financing, you'll want to ride it all the way out. If you get the itch to move into a new car in a year or 2, chance are that you'll be on the wrong side of your loan. Of course, if your car's already paid off, then you'll just be potentially looking at losing some money if you decide to move on in the short-term.

NJ - you and I are a dying breed my friend! The new A4 and TL don't have (at least as of yet) MT options!

 

I would get a 2006 or newer RL, but not an 05. It's the first year of the 2nd generation and has a few more problems that subsequent years. RL is a hot car when modded, I think it looks terrific, especially the one posted above. It is a much different car then the TSX though, obviously.

 

why are they so cheap used? btw i really love how good they look done up.

 

RLs are f'n hot.

I'd get one in a heartbeat if the gas mileage wasn't so poor for a V6.

Its a very underrated car.

 

oh yeah? not even close where I live.
I'm sure you can find some beat up high mileage ones in certain places
for that price, but that goes for any car really.

again, I don't agree with you.
$50k plus in mods?
no.
I think you need to read Sam's threads again.

I understand that you are biased to manual TSX's.
But giving out false information isn't helping anyone out.
