Bought an RL

Boston area. 2005 Black on Black, 27K miles. Paid $23.5 (asking $26.9). Negotiated new tires and brakes all around (pads and turning rotors). I don't think it's a steal, but a fair deal. Hope it helps if anyone's looking for market pricing.

This was a replacement for our 2002 which was totaled back in November. Hope this one treats us as well as the last. Will be picking it up later this week. Hard to wait now...

Congratulations. Nice car!

Boy, are you going to appreciate some of the developments to the platform, even since your '02! (My jump was from a '91.) Of course, if you're interested in DIY maintenance or upgrades ranging from floor mats to full-on dual exhaust, you're in the right forum, too.

Sounds great, but you would've been happier with a White RL. Just think of how that black beauty is going to look two days after the next snow storm coated in white from road salt.
Happy driving!

Yeah I should be snaggin one for my girl in the middle part of next year. Just gotta wait to pay off this thing so I can start my project and she can get a new ride. That's why I've recently been spending more and more time on this side.

Congrats on the purchase.

That's not a bad price. That's also low mileage for a four-year-old car (assuming original in service date was in 2004). Mine is only two years old and already has 33k miles.

Berner,

What dealer did you deal with? We got our 2006 MDX at Peabody Acura, they were very good to deal with. This ice storm we got might have put a dent in my car options, we had massive tree damage to my yard, I am looking at $1500 I didn't plan to spend on f'n trees! UGH

I am needing a new car in May when the MDX lease is up.

Mike
