Looking at potentially getting a 2002 RL with 50k miles as a daily driver
Car is in immaculate shape, I will get to drive it again tonight. Anything specific that I should look for, this will be a DD so I keep miles off my 370z here in the PNW. Lowest price owner would sell it for is $7500.00, I know thats high in comparison to other RL's but the low mileage and fantastic shape make me think it might be worth it.

Really, any type of feedback would be appreciated, I know this is a general question and I am carefully reading through all the threads I can, these cars are relatively new to me.

Regardless of milage you need to look ar age. 15 years and rubber bits do get dry. Check for timing belt service, broken tilt on steering rack amd regular tune up stuff.
Theyre not to great on gas, but for the most part there isnt really things on these cars that are know to go bad. Engine is solid and can go for a while.
Remind the owner that maintenance also goes by age not milafe alone so all those major rhings like tbelt and all sorts of fluid flushes, belts, etx will fall on you.

Thank you, the buyer bought it from an estate sale last year, he didn't have much in terms of maintenance, but Carfax shows that it was regularly maintained with timely oil changes and all fluids have been flushed twice at the dealership.
Car is super clean though, so I went for it, this will be a third car for me that I will turn into a daily driver and kid carrier. I never owned a Honda/Acura before and so far I am quite impressed, built quality is impressive and it is such smooth car. I read as much as I could on this forum, doing my best to learn all I can. So far everything on the car seems to work as it should, but I only had a day with it. I plan to give is a good cleaning and polish/wax, I do my own detailing as a hobby, looking forward to seeing how that peal white color will look with a good detailing.
