Bought a New RL with 18k Miles

Just bought my RL! It only has 18,000 miles on it and it’s an 07 😊

Only 18k miles? Must have been in a time capsule.

I purchased it for $10,800 after Taxes and Fees, I work in Car Sales so it was a steal I couldn’t pass up

Yep!! It was garage kept, one owner. They babied the car. Sadly the owner passed away and the kids sold it.

Amazing. I believe those are Acura A-Spec wheels too, sold as a dealer option and much sharper than the standard ones. Sweeeet.

I'm trying to do the same to my RL. It's a garage queen at home, and even at work, where I have a garage. Just had the interior detailed and they were able to get all the grime off the driver's seat so it now looks like new. People still think my car is brand new and are shocked when I tell them it's almost 15 years old.

Congratulations!!! This is one of the best if not THE best deal on RL - especially at 11yrs of age, for that money, this car will last super long - just do timing belt if not already.

Congratulations! I also have a '07, and it has been bullet-proof. Just keep up ALL maintenance items on time or ahead, and it will last you many years. Mine is at 114K and runs like new.

One suggestion to update the 'look' is to replace the high-beam/DRL bulbs with LED (I used the ones from VLED, they work great). Now you look like a 'modern' car with white DRL and not the sickly yellow of the old Honda/Acura DRLs from that era.

Very, very nice. I also have an '07, but nearly ten times the mileage.

Nice find! So many clean RL's on here lately!!! It's WDP too with the accessory wheels!

I saw your tag! I lived in Brookhaven and still have all of my services done there at Mike Whatley.
