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.

 

if you have the option 06 is definitely the way to go.

 

06 +

 

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.

 

thanks for the responses! i've been looking at this one because its so clean and low mileage but maybe id be better off with an 06 considering this one is already priced high

that one looks good! they are not acualy chrome rims though they are aspec i have a 05 b on b with the stock 17 rims that are actualy chrome. But never the less you like it

 

That one is priced high IMHO but looks good.

 

already ruled this one out cause i agree its overpriced, gonna keep looking

 

i dont think it's over price sometimes you have to pay extra for low km's or the color you want

 

^ +1 low kms are hard to come by and if its the colour u want i say jump on it.

 

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.
