I am considering a gently used 2005+ RL or 2005+ M35.
It seems like both can be had for low 30s.
Any opinion on which is the better bet as a used car as far as the owner experience goes and what you can expect on resale to the third owner?

Both hold their value farily well, although it appears that while the list prices are similar, the Acura probably went out the door cheaper. For me, it was no choice - I'm fairly tall (and long-waisted), so I just couldn't drive the Acura comfortably.

I have to say I see more M35s than Acura RLs in central Ohio. And more Acura TLs than either of those.

I test drove the M35X and liked the look of the front end and really liked the interior but as soon as I started driving I realized I could not tolerate the excessive noise the engine made .I think you can have a car with good performance but it should not sound like the engine is on its last legs.So the M35 is not for me.I guess I am spoilt I drive a Lexus.

A lot of that noise is from the Goodyear tires they put on them. Even my snow tires are quieter.
