Check out this Carfax on this RLX SH

Does anyone have any idea what's going on with this car? Looks like it is an early 2014 model build w/ VIN 0093.

Originally for sale new at an Acura dealership in Wisconsin, but the car racked up 13,591 miles across six states ranging from Torrance CA (Acura's HQ) and Lexington, KY before finally being offered for sale in 2015.

Maybe this was an Acura show/program car? Regional Manager's ride?

I can't figure it out...

Press car? Publications like Road & Track buy the cars for long term tests and like to document each service. My CPO had no service records and lived in Ohio.

Several magazines including Car and Driver are from Ann Arbor. That would explain the info.

my sentiments as well.
just like a ferarri or lamborghini; the history is everything.

we know the exact history of this thing. we know that it was a press car ( or can infer ) and we know that all the parts that can wear; were replaced.
it's ready to rock and roll!!!

Someone with some negotiating talent will probably end up with a decent ride. Offer low and see what happens. I'd guess the seller is fully aware that a potential buyer will frown on a multi-page service record and will be eager to move it along.
