2005 RL Owners - Check/Sign in! - Page 2

shepsan · 01-31-05, 01:01 AM

Good morning. This is my first post. I purchased my 2005 RL two days ago.

This is the fourth Acura 3.5 RL that I have owned. Each of the preceeding three were trouble-free and excellent performers. I got top dollar selling them to individuals and was able to take the proceeds and add very little cash to upgrade to a newer year as a result. In fact, owning them cost less than if I had leased them.

Here are the facts about my newest purchase:

Name or Screen Name: shepsan
Country/State/City of purchase: USA, Arizona, Peoria
Last 5 digit of Vin: 09036
Color Ext/Int: Desert Mist/Parchment
Month/Yr of purchase: 01/28/2005
Price paid before tax/lic: $47,888

The dealer provided wheel locks, Automate, deck lid spoiler, splash guards and trunk tray at no additional cost. I did not buy an extended warranty as I will dispose of the car no later than two years hence.

Also, as an adjunct purchased separately, I bought Lojack for $535.

Month/Yr of purchase: 12/04
Price paid before tax/lic: MSRP

I'm a newbie; just joined today (02/18/05). I decided on "2-Acura Bob" as my screen name, since my wife and I have the 2005 RL above and a 2004 TL (silver/black). Hers is the RL (Merry Christmas, dear!); mine is the TL.

The RL replaces a 2001 Audi A6 2.7T at the (same) constant dollars, but to me a far better car than the Audi (although the Audi did have a "timeless" styling to it that I miss from time to time).

Well, that gets me started!

Any reason why the M3 was giving you headaches? I was thinking of buying one ...

Sup everyone. I recently leased an 05 RL. I think I might be one of the youngest member to get the RL. Anyways... I got the car for $5700 down and $399 plus tax a month for 3 years. I'm loving the car. I used to own an 02 Subaru WRX very heavily modified with over 309hp to the wheels but I'd choose this vehicle over the Subaru anyday. BTW, my RL is bone stock but bone stock already comes with everything I want.
