2006 Acura RL Buying Help
New the ACZine thread
Currently live in Central FLA
And the stars have aligned for me to get me a 2nd Gen RL
I wanted to get it when I test drove one by mistake looking for another car.
I found an ad right near my area but wanted to do some research before i buy..Please help me out
http://www.autotrader.com/dealers/dd...er_id=48167260
Wanted to know if its overpriced for the 42K Miles
from the ad it doesnt look like it has the Tech, XM or Nav
And not a fan of the wheels and front/rear light mods.
Dealer only provided 2 pics.
Will go there tomorrow..let me know what to look for
All I know so far is the regular features
Doors,50-70mph whine, A/C,

Issues that don't sit right with me
Mostly w/ Dealer listed Acura RL's there are at least 5 or more pics but this only has 2
Modded Headlights and Rear Lights
But 42K is 42K Miles with Factory Warranty still an option
Will post tomorrow when I find more details

Missing my
I would also keep looking. I wouldn't avoid modded cars as a general rule, but the look of those "mods" indicate that the previous owner may have been young or lacking taste at the very least. He may have driven accordingly.

I agree with tnobori and VQ; look elsewhere. For that price they could have at least humored us with some interior pics.
I would be concerned how a Dodge dealer got an 2G RL. That may say something about the ownerif he traded it in (bet he got a Charger and put "Lambo" doors on it). If you go for it, give them a rediculously low ball offer. From a different thread, https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...812054&page=2:

...you can get some SMOKIN deals on trades. a buddy of mine was in the car busines and said the BEST deals are on trade ins. dealers take them to move a new car, and then they try to sell the trade in. they usually only keep it 30 days and if they don't move it, they wholesale it. so figure if you find a car yo ulike... like say you want a Honda S2000 adn you find a used 2007 S2k at a Mitsubishi dealer.. you know somem guy traded it in to get an EVO... the dealer raped him on teh trade and want to dump it fast. odds are you will get it close to wholesale if you push.
i used to have a volvo S60R.. bad ASS car. I had $10,000 of EVOLVE mods into it... i outran E46 M3s in it... anyway.. i bought it used off a ford dealer. some guy traded it in to get an SUV... they tried to work me and I told them what I'd pay..and it was JOKE of a price. after they tried every trickin teh book i walked away. they chased me down in the parking lot and said "ok".. i got it for an INSANELY low price.... it was one year old, had 14k m iles, was under factory warranty... i loved that car.... it wasn't "cpo"... but I got lucky... if you look.. you can find what you want..and pay what you want.

Check out Courtesy Acura in Longwood (where I bought mine) or fountain Acura and see what they may have, or get in soon. They do come in as lease turn ins (for the 07-08s at this time), and some don't see the lot or are not there very long. I've found lease turn ins are the best way to go, and usually have average to low mileage on them.

Completely forgot about this checked Fountain Acura's page and whaddya know they got a 2008 RL w/ Tech Pkg 44K Miles.
http://fountainacura.com/Orlando-FL/...r-Car/6021225/
Been busy all this week. Hopefully I can take a look this weekend
Sadly my budget won't let me go over 24K which I know with this 08 is not the case but I will check this and the other out for comparison reasons. Why are there no Blue (Dark Pine) RL's. The used car market is flooded with Silver,Metallics ..daaamn
.....Almost went crazy for a 95 Toyota Supra Single Turbo (Modified) at a Toyota Dealer. They wanted 26K..lmao. I guess since I sold my 92 Nissan 300ZXTT a cpl years back i been itching...

you should be able to come close at $24K on a 2006 in excellent condition and miles low enough to get the Acura Care. Were I to give one piece of advice to someone buying a used Acura RL it would be make sure you have the Acura Care on it for a long as you can because although reliable the parts and repairs on these are very expensive.

Checkout this one.

Carfax says it has been in an accident but if you can find out about the damage. I have a 2007 silver with 145,000 miles. I have had no problems other than routine maintenance. I do baby the car and it looks like it justed rolled off the showroom floor. Good luck!! You will love the car. Great stereo, best nav that I have seen, bluetooth and keyless ignition.

I went over to Fountain Acura in Orlando the other day
They had 3 RL's
2011
2008 RL w/ Tech PKG Silver 42K Miles $29K
2005 RL w/ Tech PKG Oppulent Blue 105K Miles $16K
The 08 was a CPO and the 05 wasn't but u can have the option to purchase warranty.
Took a test drive and came in to look. The 05 had paint chipping on the exterior and the leather near the glove compartment was bubbling as far as cosmetics go but I didn't test drive the 05 model.I told the sales rep that the price was too high for the 08 after crunching financing options and told him Id wait for another one and walked to leave and he bumrushed me."What is it gonna take for us to get u in this car.."lol. I told him 25K..and he said ok if so are u serious and will you commit to buy today....I left didn't feel comfortable
