Thinking about buying a 1999 or 2000 Acura RL. Does anyone have any insight or experiences with these vehicles. I've been doing my homework and found mostly good things.

Thanks.

im looking to buy a tl those cars are so pimp cant find one for the right money

I considered getting a 2000 or 2001 TL but would rather get an RL.

6/10/2006 9:13:28 PM

O RL?

6/10/2006 11:37:37 PM

^lol^

Isn't an old RL about the same as a new TL?

6/11/2006 1:58:52 PM

in what regards?

6/11/2006 2:12:07 PM

i prefer the q3 RL

6/11/2006 2:53:08 PM

The RL is an okay car. it has its faults. The are pretty reliable. Not as reliable as the old school Legends though. I would also look at the 2002-03 Infiniti I35. about the same size as RL. Has a lot more power than the RL, and even has more features than the RL.

I bet it even costs more!

6/11/2006 6:08:44 PM

Maaaa has an RL and I have no complaints. For a daily driver you'll never need anymore power than it has in all seriousness. One of the most comfortable rides you can ever have on a long trip too.

Keep good tires on it, back end is really light.

i really like to drive them when going on long trips.

rather comfortable. rear seats have their own suspension.

What is your budget? I just recently got an 03 acura 3.2TL that's such a great DD. With a 3900 trade in, I got it for 15k out the door.

6/12/2006 4:56:10 AM

^ thats not bad im only looking to spend about 13k with a 3k trade in. i want the blue on black shit. but ill settle for any color as long as the seats are grey leather.

6/12/2006 12:59:15 PM

what kind of mileage do you want to stay under?

6/12/2006 1:26:07 PM

if he's considering an acura, maintence records would be more valuable info than just milage.

6/12/2006 3:18:46 PM

id like to stay under about 65 to 70k i want one with black or grey interior and id like it to have all service records as well

6/12/2006 5:41:32 PM

be sure to find out how many transmissions it has been through.

yes, i'm talking about the '01-'03 TL.

6/12/2006 5:46:12 PM

i think i know about honda tranys. thanks though

6/12/2006 6:27:29 PM

what about an 04 TL?


what about the TSX?

6/12/2006 6:42:47 PM

The trannys on TL's may be crappy only if you abuse it. I've only heard of problems when people use the manual mode, which is totally useless anyhow.

6/12/2006 7:18:30 PM

Do RL's have the shitty tranny that crapped out in my friend's accord and my other friend's CL?

6/13/2006 1:49:14 AM

I believe the v6 version of the accords was also plauged with the same transmission problems as TL's. btw, this only involves with the auto transmission, manuals are good.

uhhh, no. my wife did not abuse her car and never used the sport shift mode. we sold the car at 80K and 3 trannys later.
