Lokking to get a comfy luxobarge, Specifically a 2008 Acura Rl

One thing that's interesting is i don't see many of these cars around my area. I can't see much wrong with them other than being a little under powered and having lower gas mileage.

But then again i'm looking for something to cruise in that's really reliable, nothing really fast. The AWD is a plus and i really liked the interior.

Heard there were a few issues with electronics crapping out (bluetooth module, Keyless entry) but that's to be expected with an old flagship model.

That & timing belt changes every 170000km. Once again not a big deal.

Just buy it OP. Its literally an accord with a larger wheel base and nicer interior.

You already did ur research u dont need /o/tists approval

I know i don't but i like talking to other people about cars & sometimes you guys have some pretty good insight into stuff i might miss.

SH-AWD is great, and it's basically a fancy Accord

Get it feggit

Probably will, Going from an old beat to shit 2002 corolla to driving this is going to be one hell of an adjustment though.

Been a while since i drove a comfortable car.

It is japanese built, and has a ton of nice features

Shawd is a beast. Keep your foot on the gas, works great.


The transmission is its own unit, so not subject to the bullshit that afflicted the TL and Accords. Very solid


It's a 250-300k mile car easy.


Ironically, I bought my ls430 because I couldn't find a RL that met my requirements.

has a timing belt, watch out for that

Not that big of a deal. You'll make up for it in having less to fix or maintain overall on the car compared to other autos.

Everyone I have ever advised to buy a Buick like mine has always said this, but in 7 years, all I've had to replace is the water pump and an alternator. Like $100 total.

OP I am also considering this car. My only hesitation is the transmission. My dad has a TL and already went through two transmissions... at $3k a piece.
Whats your price range for the RL. Because you might be buying someone is sitting on a grenade transmission.

Id still get a mechanic to check it out.
Last, the Suspension is a bit sophisticated.. i.e. expensive if its abused.

What did he mean by this?

Where are you located op?

Did he have a 2nd gen TL? These RLs don't really have transmission problems

>>17232707
post your local craigslist

>>17232707
I'd go for the Lexus.
Plus, what advantages does the RL have over the TL? It's certainly uglier.
