FNG from Buckeye state!....need feedback pls
Thinking about an 05 or 06 RL. Any issues with either model year? Wondering if improvements were made for 06. Anything in particular i should watch out for.
If you've got one for sale under 70k let me know. I am in cleveland OH.
I've checked NADA & Edmunds and am seeing i should be able to get one between 16-19k. That about right?
Thanks ALL!!!!

Welcome!
As the '05 was the first of the second generation, it does have some niggling little issues, mostly with the A/C compressor failure and little electrical faults. I think you could say the '06 was improved because it offered a variety of options whereas the '05 only came with one trim level.
You should be able to pick up a good-condition '05 or '06 with decent miles for under $20k or heck, even look at an '07 for the low $20s. This car's resale value sucks something fierce but it's a great buy for those looking to get in on it.

Welcome! It's always good to run into another NEO person online. 2006+ is your best bet with the RL, but as long as make sure a 2005 has been properly serviced, particularly the AC, you should be OK with that as well.

FYI, your tire choices (and prices) are much better with A spec or other 18" wheels. If you can find a used one with 18s, go for it. 18s aren't an issue even on shitty ohio roads.
