Replying to: billyperks2 (Oct 24, 2008 7:38 am) ... What's wrong with a RL V8?   It'll probably be FWD!   j/k Actually, I've heard that they might actually be contemplated a real RWD platform. I've got my fingers crossed!
#7298 of 7335 Replacement key fob/transmitter for 05 RL? by galabar Dec 01, 2008 (4:47 pm)
Hi,   What would be a good source for a replacement key fob for an 05 RL? Do I have to do this at the dealer?   Thanks!
#7299 of 7335 I'm thinking about getting the 05 RL by sbaranek Dec 01, 2008 (8:08 pm)
Hi guys. I got tempted by the local non-Acura dealer with their 2005 RL with 34,000 miles on it. I got the price at 21K OTD. It seems to be in a very good condition. What do you guys think? Any comments would be highly appreciated. If I decide to get it, is 100,000-mile/+4year warranty (Acura) worth $1,400? I'm thinking about it, too.

Replying to: sbaranek (Dec 01, 2008 8:08 pm) I think the RL has gotten a bad rap primarily from those that lean toward more "performance". I have owned 2 RLs in the past and I would have to say they were two of the best cars I ever owned. Very reliable and drive and handle in normal driving like a dream.   That sounds like a great deal, and yes, I would spring for the warranty. The way things are in the auto industry today I would try to get them to "throw in" the warranty. Make an offer on that basis and see what happens. Keep us posted.

Replying to: sbaranek (Dec 01, 2008 8:08 pm) I've owned my 05 RL for four years and love it. I would definitely go for the warranty. Even as reliable as my three Acuras have been, there are at least four on-board computers on the 05, and lots of gadgets, all of which will be expensive to repair. For example, on my 99 RL, the auto-dim rearview mirror quit working and the mirror alone, with no labor, was $500. I can't imagine how much one of the computers would cost to repair.

Replying to: houdini1 (Dec 02, 2008 6:53 am) I have a 2000 RL and purchased the Acura extended warranty which carried me thru 75,000 miles / 7 years. Well worth the money. Parts and labor although not as expensive as the German cars, still costly. I have the vehicle with 87,000. Runs great. No market value, but a good winter driving car. Will drive it until the repairs exceed the value..Remember, their cost for the warranty is minimal compared to what you have to pay.

Replying to: sbaranek (Dec 01, 2008 8:08 pm) We bought a new 08 RL. We got the extended warranty. The original warranty is for 48mo/48miles.   I have taken the RL back on warranty six times. First three to repair the computer stuff. Then three times later, presets on radio still was going out, ergo, new radio. All obviously covered by warranty.   After 48 months, if I go back for a problem, what will be the labor rate per hour? I don't know. But I do know here in Disneyland, er, California in East Bay, the rate at my dealer is about $ 120 an hour. The local Lexis dealer rate is $ 200/hour.   What will it be when your warranty runs out where you live?   We have five Hondas and three Acuras. One Honda had a window electric switch go out, at 110k miles. I sold it at 151k miles. Wife's Oddessy and our other Hondas no problems of any kind.   Other two Acuras no problems.   I think its a difficult decision but we will always have the extended warranty. My wife even got the extended warranty on her new 95 Oddessy where IF we did not drive more than 75k over 5 years, we would get our money back. Dublin Honda paid us our money back. Don't think they do it now, but when she sold it after 10 years she had 74K on car and we spent the $ on our vacation.   Good luck to all and stay safe.   jensad Replies to this message: jensad (Dec 05, 2008 11:26 am) arthurmnev (Jul 12, 2009 7:38 am) jensad (Sep 08, 2009 9:50 am)
