Hey guys, I'm usually on the TL forum, however my parents were looking at new cars to trade in their infiniti and we were at a honda dealership looking at Accords. My father asked if they had any awd in the hondas and we found out an RL was coming in. They test drove it and purchased it. 2005 RL nav (I'm guessing that's the tech package) with 6900 miles on it for 28,900. The car is mint, I believe they got a damn good deal but I figured I'd ask you guys. Not sure if they will do any modifications to it but is there anything highly suggested?
Thanks
Chris

A four-year-old car with only 6900 miles (assumes 2004 build) is astonishing, it must never have ben driven. That is probably a fair deal for so few miles. 2005s with lots more miles are going for around $25k or less.

Welcome to the RL fam!

Suggest they visit an Acura dealer to get some of the known TSBs for the car taken care of.

In 05 there was only one RL (no tech or CMBS), base and fully loaded were the same thing. I wonder if theis was a "snowbird" car. I've seen some cars with really low mileage for the year that belonged to older folks who spend the summers up north and the winters in Florida.

The best I had witnessed was an 03 CL-S 6MT with nav (this was in 06) with 4000 miles.

I hear that it was a fleet car drivin by an acura exec.

I'm suspicious of very low mileage cars. Dealers will tell you anything that will make a sale. It's probably fine but see when the 4yr warranty runs out, (get the in-service date), probably this year.
I'd suggest an extended warranty, the technology on the car is great, but very expensive to fix.

My 2006 RL (CMBS/ACC/PAX) was a Honda corporate fleet vehicle. I verified it with Acura before purchasing the car. The CARFAX was clean and it had been registered to American Honda in NJ. I bought it last September with 2,800 miles on it. I only have 10,200 miles on it 10 months later.

Yea everything was clean on it, it was driven in florida also. It was out on "lease" which I believe in this case means fleet vehicle.

I just traded my 2005 RL (purchased 11/2005) with 20,000 miles. I would definitely look into why it had so few miles...
