Potential Buyer
One of my best friends has had a 2003 TL-S, ( had to replace the tranny at 96K) and has been an "Acura guy" for a while, any he is looking at a '06 RL- the Anthricite (please forgive me thats not the code). It has 16K miles, and the warrrenty is void- just curious as to any major issues, any info would be appreciated to warn him of, thanks in advance

Why would the warranty be void after 16K miles? 4 years 50K bumper to bumper with a 6 year 72K powertrain is standard. What happened to the car that the manufacturer warranty is void?

Well, he is thinking about buying it from a salvage yard- eastcoastauto.com in Lynchburg, (thaxton VA)- Personal pref on the decision making (buying a car under these circumstances...I believe they are asking 16.8K, and he can have it done for 7-10K wich puts him in it at about 25K with such low milage.) . The car still drives, and the damage is mainly body work. He went and looked at it today, and seems to feel comfortable with it-

Several members here have posted finding 2005s in the same price range your friend is looking at ($25k). Further, if less than 50k, there's still factory warranty, and if not, you can still purchase Acuracare.
Can't do that with a salvaged car. I'd run away from that, but that's just my personal preference.

Here is an 05 with 37k going for 27.9k
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-Ac...m160240592997&
Another 05 with 40k going for 24.5k
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005-...m220232044878&
Not worth the saved money IMO

Hey guys...JO started this thread for me....I've always had good luck with rebuilds about 4 1/2 years ago I bought my salvage 03 TL-S an I've had great luck with it...I was able to get into it for right at 11.5k so I was thrilled with that deal. After looking at some other used RL's I think you guys are right...I think the only way I would do this deal is if I was able to be in the car ready to roll at $16.9
Thanks and keep the opinions coming b/c I'm looking to do something fairly soon...thanks guys!
