With these options the Blue Book is $3700.00 for this car (see pic). Rated between Very Good and Good according to Kelly Blue Book. Again the reserve is a low 3-digit number so this is a bargain. I got laid off and need Christmas money for the family. Summary/History: This Acura has been well maintained and has a new motor. Mileage logs have this RL at about 2/3rds highway miles. 17 mpg in the city, 26 mpg highway and 21mpg combination, my actual not dealer claimed. At 245k mi, 3 gaskets were leaking and repairs were quoted at $2200 to access/replace all the gaskets. A newer 2002 RL across town had a recent rear end collision that crumpled part of the trunk and had a pristine 40,000mi motor available (NO damage) for $5000 installed. I opted for the replacement engine option as it would replace many older components, newer gaskets and cylinders and provide for another 200,000 of life. The newer motor has 1 slow oil leak that is periodic and not even noticeable level-wise if 3000mi oil changes are done regularly. The rear view mirror is included (missing in photos) disengaged for photo shoot and that is a removable plastic mat on floor of trunk to protect the original material. This Auction is sold As Is, $300 deposit upon auction end and buyer must pick up or transport from Houston, Texas.
