I just picked up an RL....

This probably belongs in Private Sales, but I'll post it here first as a feeler, because I am looking to sell it...

2006 Acura RL
19,xxx miles

Original Paint
Rear Lip Spoiler
Silver Exterior
Black Interior








What do you think?

I am an auto dealer.

^^^^He's an auto broker.

Ooooooh, a 2006 Tech model (e.g. CMBS, PAX). And such low miles too. Celestial Silver?

I haven't decided yet, but somewhere in that area, most probably not more than that.

Any takers?

The pictures were taken not near my office, I purchased a car based on those pictures... I never actually saw it until tonight (one of my outside buyers bought it as per my instructions, but he is already advertising it around the web), so I have to give it the thorough "Shoofin Style" once over to start nit picking about things I don't like and would want to fix, if any. If it's nice tomorrow I'll do that and report back to all of you. I do think the forecast said rain tomorrow though..

19K is such a low mileage for that car. DO WANT! But I can't right now. If this was next year, I'd spring for it.

A 2006? I would think not. For $41k you can but a new base model 2009 RL, maybe even a nav model in some markets.

Well, the RL IS one of the best Hondas ever. The build quality is far above any Accord, ever. Those who disagree simply haven't experienced 2G RL goodness. Only the electrical gremlins (an early problem, since solved) spoil an otherwise positive experience.

So NSXNEXT's list is still appropriate.

No doubt about his list.....but it still looks like a super-sized Accord.

my 2000 rl was a fawking suite car. It was one of the smoothest riding and it was extremely reliable. Even trying to sell it below any other rl w/in 1000 miles with gentle mile, i had trouble. It was perfect in every way, but the market is slim in some areas.


I would buy another one in a few years.

Ed, you need to move this over to Ron A land... If the sheep gotta follow the rules, you do too... I'll leave it up to you to clean this up.

Those that enforce the rules have to follow them? Are you insane?

Nice RL. I'd give you $20K for it +/- $1 - 2K depending on condition, so you're pricing it right.
