New owner of a KB1






I just pick up the 06 RL, I am not new to the Acura or J series motor however this is my first RL. So here is a quick intro, I currently own 01 Lexus IS300, 07 TL Base Navi, 07 TL Type S and now a 06 RL, so far I like the car its exactly what I am looking for blending between sport and luxury and the trade off is the MPG. The RL itself is a 3 owners car originate from IL came to TX back in 2010 and the owner keep it since the car been service every 2k miles at my local Acura dealer, with the extensive history I asked my local service advisor to look up services that not listed clearly on the Carfax. I gave him the VIN he pull up the history and start to laugh, he said "I know the owner" I ask him if that car used to belong to one of their employee? It turn out the car belong to their senior sale rep and there is nothing wrong with the car. All services and record has been done up to date including the 105k service. He trade the car because he got a great deal on a 2017 RLX Hybird, he later told that get rid the RL was a mistake. Also to find out i purchase very close to the price he trade in, here are all the pics.

Also curious what type of updates you're talking about. I do love that black interior. I wanted silver over black but at the price, condition, and documented history of my white-over-tan car, I couldn't pass it up.

Wish I had thought to do the pulley - my timing was done 11 days ago as part of my purchase agreement. I would've happily agreed to buy the pulley and have it installed during reassembly.
