If you’re looking for an inexpensive ultimate luxury car that’s been pampered by its owner then you’ve found it! This impeccably maintained car has been owned by a car fanatic with no children or animals. Not only has the engine and drivetrain been maintained expertly but the interior has received the same attention to detail. This is evidenced by the most recent addition of a new Acura steering wheel (2012) and the reupholstry of the center console arm rests in original leather (2012). This car has all the high-end options including electric rear-sunshade, manual side sun shades, wood grain (completely unscratched), tiptronic shifting option, HID head lights, fog lights, navigation, multi-disc CD changer in-dash with HD sound and powered subwoofer, XM radio, shark fin antenna, turn signals on side view mirrors, electronic memory front seats, 17” wheels and more. Exterior – Paint condition and body panels are in amazing shape for a car with 30,000 miles let alone one with 148,000. The car has been pampered by the current owner and waxed quarterly. There are no major dents or defects. The front bumper and hood have several, very typical, chips from road debris but nothing significant. Four new Bridgestone Turanza Serenity plus 245/50R17 tires were added in 2012 along with a full alignment. The tires have only about 7,000 miles on them. These tires are one of the top rated options available for this car. New front brakes and rotors were also just installed last month. HID bulbs and ballasts were replaced in 2012 with new Acura parts. Interior – Leather seats are in great shape with no discoloration or drying. The driver seat shows light wear toward the left side where it typically is worn by getting in and out of the car. This is evidenced in the photos. The center console arm rests are known for wearing over time and I had them completely reupholstered in 2012. They match perfectly. The carpets are in great shape with no major stains or damage. Car comes with all-weather rubber mats. The driver side is worn but all others are like new. The back seats are practically new. They’ve only been used a handful of times. The headliner is stain free and the sunroof operates as expected. The sunshades are raised in most of the pictures to show they are in good shape but the windows are all perfect also. One defect I want to make note of is the lock on the rear driver side door. It probably needs to be replaced. It hasn’t been unlocking perfectly when the unlock button is hit. There is some light bubbling on the glove box (see attached pics). Engine – great condition, no major defects known, no major service ever required, typical Honda/Acura reliability. There is sometimes a tapping noise that sounds like a loose heat shield but my mechanic has not been able to replicate it and it’s infrequent so I haven’t really been concerned. I mention it only in the spirit of complete disclosure. The car passed emissions without an issue last on 11/29/2012. Oil and fluids faithfully changed, timing belt done at 106,000 miles, along with water pump and spark plugs. I’ve posted some great pictures but have many more available upon request. Please send me an email with any questions or picture requests. On Jul-01-13 at 15:43:01 PDT, seller added the following information: Please note that after 2005 the RL technology package included a backup camera and parking sensors. In 2005 this was not an option. I've tried to update the listing title to remove "technology" and to avoid any confusion but I'm unable to at this point. For clarification purposes let me confirm that this car does not have a backup camera or parking sensors.
