I had an 05 RL its mostly aluminum yea no rust mine had 227K. It was beat to heck when I got it but I fixed it up cheap and drove it for a couple years. I loved mine until I wrecked it but it was great only complaint was the oil leak that would spray on the exhaust if I hit the gas to hard, I think it was the crank seal or something down there. Trans and motor are perfect 05 and up. I had to change one of my struts but yeah I miss it.
Review the aircon, it is supposed to be legendary in this car
No, Scotty, No!!!
65 in a 25! LOL
I have 2000 Acura TL
This is cute. I have a Lexus, my brother has an Acura we have good-natured banter about how his car is better than mine although we both still have them. Both are 20 years old, both have more than 200,000 miles, and both are beautiful and they are a dream
I'm a Toyota/Lexus guy (I have an IS300), but I still really like Honda/Acura (my dad had a '94 Acura Legend back in the day). I consider them 1A and 1B for comfort and reliability, they both tend to have beautiful aesthetics and you really can't go wrong with either as long as you maintain them and do your due diligence for inspection and research on each specific model. No car is perfect, but Japanese cars just stand above the rest for the least amount of issues over time versus European and Domestic cars.
@@neonreign2988 I agree. I have an Infiniti G35x 2005 made in Japan and an Acura CL type S 2003. Both cars have miles galore on them and run like brand new.
I wonder which one will last longer (winner)?
I'm have 3 Acura RL's I know about these cars & love them. I have a 2007 RL KB1 I purchased brand new they $55K not $47. It has 250K (city driving)on it and not even a check engine light. I still have the original struts on it however one is just starting to leak. So I purchased some off of a wreaked car with 90K they should be good for another 100K. I purchased a 2010 RL KB2 the same blue color with 60K but it was totaled @105K which lead me to my 3rd 2012 RL KB2 with 49K on it. It's a garage queen. I figure I will put it in service whenever my 2007 dies. Wonderful cars I was wondering when you would get to these
@@rolandwilliams1228 2012 Rl’s has the better 6 speed transmission. Do you feel a difference compared to the 5 speed?
Acura RL is one of the most underrated cars in history
agreed. my 97 rl is amazing
Facts
I love mine
Facts I have a 1st gen 2004 Acura RL
True!...2007 RL tech, daily driver, bought at 123k now has 151k. Going for 300k & beyond!
My dad has this exact car, and this exact model year. He’s had it for 7 years and it still runs perfectly. Another thing, it’s QUICK too. Lol. Very comfortable and quiet inside as well. The all wheel drive system has never failed, and never got the car stuck in the Cleveland snow. 220k miles.
Honda rulez.
What year model is it?
yeah 300 horsepower and weighs 2 tons. if your "quick" is 7 seconds then yeah it's quick.
@Vance Wankel they are good looking imo. Sleek and low to the ground.
@@GOLD_FEVER My 2011 Acura TSX V6 weighs 3700lbs and has 280hp and does 0-60 in 5.9 seconds. That is pretty quick for the segment it is in. Faster and more powerful than a BMW 528i from the same year.
"Let's see how this thing takes off" Rips past 25 MPH speed limit sign!!
I have a 2007 Acura RL with 280,000 miles and everything is original and only did oil changes and timing belts. The 300hp still gets me in trouble even now it flies like a rocket 🚀
I got all my speeding tickets in that thing🤫🤷♂️ 255k on the dash 😊
Have it ever not start? Then started hours later.
@@kevinkiss3340 No but you should check the battery cables to make sure they are tight. Also does car start easily in neural vs Park? I had that issue and that was the transmission range switch
@@Travelingcarguy1 Have you adjusted the valves?
@@Travelingcarguy1 Also, how much do these repairs cost. Timing belt, valves, seals?
If you go to a car stealership or a crooked mechanic and get ripped off or they try to rip you off, contact the Attorney General in your state and report it. If enough people report them, something will be done about it.
What if you live in a state where the Attorney General is crooked too?
Then your American 🇺🇸
@Scott Manerez yes sir
Ah I just love it whenever Scotty says junkyard and a picture of a Chevy dealer pops up😂
THIS!
Never gets old
Scotty is always so concise.
Lol
@Mike Minasian Ford
Always loved the styling on this car, I think it doesn't look dated the way so many do after 5-10 yrs
everyone thought i was driving a 2014 or newer car which it was really 05 RL
Usually the cars Scotty shows are trashed on the inside with cluter. This one is super clean.
The cars in Houston were trashed. The ones in Nashville and Rhode island seem sorted out.
I've had one of these for 6 years. Best car I've ever owned..plan on keeping it another 3 years. Currently 237,000 miles. Quiet, reliable, and smooth!!
That is great! what kinds of major maintenance (water pump, timing belt, and valve gasket, etc.) have you done so far?
i have this same car, same color. bought it with 67,000 miles for 8.5k
Most seem to be in this color ,lol 67,000 is like new
I have a 2010 with the 3.7L in the same color too. 92k miles paid 9k
@@Beefcakeinc some complain of oil burning in the 3.7 ,how has yours been?
@@CRAPO2011 I've only put about 4k miles on it since I bought it but it doesn't smoke whatsoever. The oil level hasn't dropped.
Awesome! I got my platinum pearl white one with 79,000 for the 8k
My pops still has his 2006 RL. He bought it brand new, now has over 275,000 miles Maintenance friends.
I have almost 300K on my 2006 RL and I still absolutely love it. ❤️ like Scotty said, it's definitely a driver's car.
I have a 2009 Acura RL. Had it for 2 years. I am pleased with it.
I had an 05 RL and it was a BEAST! Best damn car for snowy weather due to AWD and the 17s got me through bad snow. I recently traded in for 21 Crosstrek to hand down to my son but keep the vids coming Scotty! I’m watching them!👍🤘
Very nice looking car. The two prior owners (and the current owner) have taken excellent care of it. Looks practically brand new on the inside and looks very solid on the outside.
Scotty, you're just the best! I have certainly learned a lot from you over the years of working on my kids used cars, and I'm not too bad for a retired elementary teacher! 🤣
I have the same car currently, and had a few others over the years. Outstanding ride. Can't beat getting 300hp AWD luxury car for sub $5k. Wish they'd keep making this car, it's still the best Acura out there. They're also very SAFE - I was in a major front-end accident in our first one and we all walked away from it with very minor injuries.
What's the year?
@@supa_zombie_bud7922 I have a 2005 currently. The accident was in a 2008
I have a 2007 Acura with approx. 115, 000 miles. Bought it new,always garage kept. It is the best car I have ever had. I should upgrade, but I am having a hard time letting it go. It looks and runs perfectly.
@carolynpeyton2037 same boat. Want to upgrade but the RL still runs and drives great and probably will for a long time. Dealt with a few issues but nothing crazy yet
Ill buy it if you want to sell it.
@@carolynpeyton2037
I love Acura. I learned what I know about working on cars on an old CL. Very easy to fix, and we fixed just about everything on it before it was sadly totalled (not by me)
I loved my 2005 RL. Bought it with 60,000 miles on it and it was a great car! I still regret trading it for an MDX.
Thank you Scotty , my Acura El is 18 years old and it’s flawless!
Never a problem!
I have to admit to my Lexus bias but the RL is one of Acura’s best : it’s a true successor to the Legend. I just wish they’d bring back a big Acura coupe. This is when Acura made cars that were easy on the eyes
Yes, after they started making that big beak on the front, I lost interest.
@Matthew Aniston I have a big bone to pick with toyota about this. Their grills and front ends... I just can't pluck down the money for that.
@@labornursedefinitely Toyota has so much potential for good design: they’ve made the 2nd gen GS, 3rd gen 4Runner, and the original Lexus SC. So it’s infuriating what they’ve devolved to.
@@nabeelmohammed2781funny you shoukd mention it.. this is my list of their vehicles whose styling was good enough for my family to purchase so far: 1994 toyota pickup extended cab 4wd, a red 2002 sc430, a 2006 4runner limited v8 (4wd, of course), a 2011 highlander se 4wd, and a 2018 smoky granite mica GS350 f sport (I feel the dark colors in the lexus minimize the spindle grills effect) nothing in their current line up interests me, with the BIG exception of a LC500!
@@labornurse the LC is a great car but I really think it’s over styled: the only Lexus that I truly feel that pulls off the vase spindle grille is the GS- it fits the bold character of that car really well. The early iteration of these vase grilles was genuinely good, but they screwed it up with the spindle imo.
Instant thumbs up 👍on all Scotty Kilmer videos 👍
The Acura RL and RLX are made in Japan, which is also called the Honda Legend. It replaced the Acura Legend for the 1996 model year. For the 2005 model year to 2020, the SH-AWD system was available, but for 2014-2020 the SH-AWD system for the RLX was only available with the HYBRID version.
Which one should i get if living in the UK and has to be port fuel not GDI engine. Sorry if my question is silly but i dont know much about these cars.
@@tk4270 All RL models have regular multi-port fuel-injected engines. Only the RLX models have gas direct injection or GDI. So from 1996-2013 model years have multi-port fuel-injected engines not GDI.
@@tk4270 my Legend is for sale and Im in the UK.I have a 2006 model with 68k miles.Immaculate condition and fully serviced including cam belt and gearbox.
@@cityslickersdronechannel6648
Have you advertised on the web like auto trader. Can i see some images of the car. Cheers.
@@tk4270 I have put it up on Gumtree.
I have the exact same car, but a 2008 RL. I love it. Drives great even after all the kilometers I've put on it. The all wheel drive is the best I've ever used and has got me through some very deep snow, not even my previous wrangler and explorer could handle. Highly recommend one if you find one in a good shape👌
WHAT about fuel consumption??
@@montisino the fuel consumption is utterly awful.
I just got my pearl white 2008 as my 1st car !
Hmm!...gas mileage city driving, so-so, it's heavy. This car was made for highway cruising...low 30's mpg.
I drive an 07 tech!
Hello, did you ever experience AWD issues? Any issues with the drivetrain?? I just crashed my Acura tl and I am looking at a 08 Acura rl with 90k miles I just don't know about the AWD, please respond if you get the chance thamkyou
This is big for RL owners. We don’t have many videos on these cars!
I know, I own a 05 and I try to look for videos
@@aalexander293 how are yours holding up guys? looking to buy a 2005 rl with 75k miles for 11k in cali where everything’s expensive for no reason . is that a good deal? it’s a black with tan interior looks 9/10
Scott I been watching your channel sense I was a kid and didn't have a car now I'm 34 and have 4 cars . I love your channel God bless you and your family .
Hope your having a great day Scotty!!! A big hug from Portugal! :)
Hey scotty just dropped the gas tank on my 1991 mustang putting a new fuel pump in hope your having a good day
Every time I went to Sears for tires, they said I needed a brake job.
When I figured how many miles tires had (35,000 +) , my brakes were needing replaced . You did allright !
@@norisboren5402 do you speak English?
Sears was FAMOUS for up selling. If you were female, it was even worse.
Hi Scotty. Miss that Mitt Romney pic. That makes my day 😄. Please use it soon
Freezing cold air conditioner phrase still gets me =)
Starts rite up. / Rides like a dream 😝 Scotty loves to pinch that dollar 💵👍
My 2002 TL with 180k miles on it runs like a beauty
THIS IS the BEST well Maintained car I ever seen, the interior is so clean. hard to believe it has 190k miles on it.
Glad to see this! I just bought myself a used Acura TLX
Hope the transbox has been repaired. These have well / long documented history of failed automatics... often repeatedly.
@@barenekid9695 4cyl should be fine but the v6 9 speeds had some problems
That Acura RL is in immaculate shape for its year and mileage. I can tell he puts a lot of pride in his car. That's reassuring to see considering how many people trash their cars first thing after buying it.
He's my coworker; he has that car in our shop nearly every evening after work cleaning, replacing, lubricating &/or changing fluids.
I miss the older Acura rl’s
Thank you! I too...just paid $4,500 for 2006 Acura RL w/tech package 140k miles, 1 owner...no accidents...religious about all their maintenance and upkeep. The car is beautiful and I'm happy I decided to buy it.
I just got a 2005 with 155k miles, what kind of fluids did you first replace?
very great video scotty love this vid, im getting a 01 tl
Still runs...like...a...dream.
Love that part.
I love your videos! Just bought a 2012 Toyota Camry SE for $5800. I absolutely love it!
The Rl will forever be my favorite car i owned 2 so far.. i wish they’ll keep making them it sucks they dont sell well because of prices because they’re bulletproof cars forsure!
Damn you Scotty these things are a hidden gem with the shawd your blowing the spot up lol
Thank you Scotty❣️Considering a 2007 RL. Your videos are always helpful ❤Pops ran a motor pool in the army. I always perform my own maintenance and repairs 🎉
THANK YOU SCOTTY! I've seriously fallen in love with the RL's ever since the first time I saw them. This video reassures me to be able to own my dream car someday!
I was you one day, you’ll get there ✊ worth the wait my dude
Hey Scotty, greetings from Austria!
Bought a Lexus ES300 recently after the recommendations from this guy! great daily and have whole service history, Just had timing belt done in last 40,000km and only paid $2200! only 130k miles
This is great to see. I have a 2008 Acura TL since new and everything Scotty said here is true for me. I replaced timing belt and water pump at 125K miles. Runs like new. Original shocks too! Most reliable car ever. I love my TL still.
How hard to do the timing belt?
Just got the valves adjusted on my 07 TL Type S 6 Speed It just hit 100k I got the timing belt and water pump changed at 95,000 miles And now at 100k I got the valves adjusted The car is very happy now
Great video Scotty! I have been watching your videos for a while now and I have to say they are very informative, I have this acura rl and it has been the best car I have had, also have a 4runner like the one on one of your other videos and both brands are great! I think Honda and Toyota make the best motors period! have had both brands for more than 30 years and both are better than anything out there. but it is true about the "made in Japan" ones, they have more attention to precision and detail. they last longer as long as your service them and take care of them.
I’m still riding my 05 TSX with 207500 miles. . . Acura’s are amazing cars.
Brings back memories. My first car was an 05 RL. This was before I knew anything about cars, and at 200,00 miles the engine blew thanks to the timing belt. By far my favorite car that I've ever driven.
Dude, replace the timing belt every 100,000 miles for all Honda products. Everyone knows this. How could you skip over that? Are you that reckless & irresponsible? Maybe you shouldn’t be driving. Almost all US cities offer mass transportation through either a bus system, subway system, trolleys, etc…. That seriously might be in your best interest. Or just spend a fortune and Uber everywhere. At least you could avoid paying car insurance? Just please stay off the roads if you’re going to continue to let the timing belt go unchecked until you have a complete engine failure in your future driving endeavors.
Thank you Scotty ☺️ resell on mine is about to go. Triple black
I bought one three days ago scotty check for everything u said everything checked out I’m loving it so far
You reviewed my car 😁😁😁
It's like the car gods are listening
Worst thing about the car is 30mpg on the highway. But *everything* else is brilliant. And I mean everything. This thing has bullet proof aircon that will not fail if a little rock hits it, unlike most other cars.
My mechanic calls it a boring car because nothing will go wrong with it.
what octane gas does it use?
@@pstash78 The octane it was designed for here.. 95
91 octane
Honestly surprised never thought I'd see a vid on the rl
Scotty having his '94 Celica makes the dealers charge way too much, they know they'll never see us again if we buy one, haha.
Last year, I detailed a 2014 MDX with 120,000 miles on it. I was impressed by how well it was wearing mechanically and cosmetically. Once I cleaned the interior, it looked new. The leather wasn’t worn, the carpet was great and all the plastics maintained all their color. The car is owned by a family with two teenage boys, so it’s not pampered.
The induction sounds out of a J series are musical.
Thx scotty for yr honest feedback
These 2005 Acura RL's are still excellent vehicles on the road today. I am hoping to own one at any given amount of days.
What's up Scotty. Love videos.
I love my 05 RL STILL driving today now I’m looking for a pair of lower arm control finally after I own it for 8yrs
Your still a hero to all the people who watch your show. Thank you, Thank you.
Evening Scotty! Excellent video 👍
Hi, Scotty love your channel. What do you think of a 2000 integra b18b1 with 200k miles
Afternoon Scotty!
I missed out on a really nice silver 2005 RL with the Aspec kit a few years ago with the same mileage and price. Shame, will never find a deal like that again. What a great car. Great find, dude.
If you can find one of those that is well taken care of for a decent price okay, but I used to drive Acuras at a dealership and they weren't that good. The TL's and the TSX's were better and cheaper. Scotty, you should start a national registry for auto techs like you that way people can find techs like you. I will help you as much as I can.
Which one should i buy if in the UK.
@@tk4270 the tsx is smaller and the manual transmission clutch is easier on your leg. Do what Scotty says, when you find one that you are interested in, have a mechanic like him check it out.
I have 26 year old T L ,still tight,still,quite,still no oil leaks,still runs smooth ,leather seats still in perfect shape the Integra's,Vigor,T L 85 - 96 were VERY WELL BUILT,even better than euro auto's!
Wow, hope my 2008 TL lasts that long. I love it still. Crazy reliable.
Just bought one, 2005 Japanese made with 150k miles 👌🏻
how’s it holding up?
V-TECH engaged! Shake &Bake
Scotty, I hope you’re having a great day in beautiful RI
Love to see Scotty so excited about good deal on a good car I love good deals myself to
I have a 2001 Acura 3.2 CL type s and I love it
Hey Scotty what do u think, I was thinking about buying a used Infiniti g35x 2004 or 2008 whichever one I find, would that be a good buy or not ?
Just bought my RL in October for 5k with 170k on it. I love it and so glad I got to take advantage of this flagship vehicle for the price. Did the timing belt and valve cover gasket myself ngk plugs etc it runs amazing
Bought my 06 Acura Rl w 150k miles for $2.5k
Scotty, I have additional information on the 96 through 04 Acura RL. They are great cars, I have a 97 and an 04 as well as the Factory service manuals that are for those cars. Those cars do have Hydraulic tappets attached to the rocker arms. No adjustment, but there is a procedure in the manual to bleed the tappets in oil (I have never needed to do that procedure). My 2 RLs are still running strong each at over 222000 miles. I do all my own maintenance and the timing belt is the biggest job. Both cars still pass the California smog test.
Have you had to replace the engine or transmission or just regular maintenance?
Bought a 09 Acura tsx timing chain changed. Had it for 5 years. I definitely will have it another 5 years.
I Always Liked the RL but I’ve never heard you talk about them.
Love my 2012 Acura TL rides like a dream.
Great vehicles. I also like the ILX with the 2.4-liter engines with the eight-speed transmissions without a turbo. A time-tested combination and excellent gas mileage.
Hey scotty, thank you for job well done with your videos i enjoyed.
I have a 2008 SUZUKI ESCUDO. Is it safe to use transmission fluid to flush the engine?
Awaiting your reply thank you.
I have this car rn. I changed the timing belt and water pump. It's at 260K miles. I have use it to go to Toronto, New Orleans, Colima MX and Guanaguato MX. Love it.
Ps: parts are expensive.
These RL’s were bulletproof. Love J series
For some reason the Acura TL has more rear seat room and it cost less but it's not made in Japan. Even if it's made in Ohio it's still a good car
Agreed this was supposed to be bigger inside but it's pretty cramped. The TL of the same year got more spacious backseats.
I have owned two TL’s, both made in Marysville, OH, an ‘03 and an ‘08. I still say the ‘04 thru ‘08 generation TL is the best looking Acura ever produced. The only problem I ever had was the leather on the driver’s seat of the ‘08 wore out and split at the perforations with less than 80k miles. I took it to a local leather shop and replaced it. The owner of the shop told me he had done many with the same problem. The leather seats in the Acura TL in this video looks identical.
I bought my first car last January, it's a 2007 Acura TSX with 198k miles on it. Beautiful car, it runs great still at 206k miles. It's comfortable, decently quick, and gets fantastic gas mileage on the highway. And speaking on insurance, I pay like $70 bucks a month for it (19 male). They're brilliant vehicles, and Acura is not usually talked about much for some reason
$70 wtfff i need that kinda payment im 23 with a 2016 Acura lol
@@marco30599 I’m paying 33$ for a 2012 @23 lmao
I had a friend whose mom had an Acura RL ZZ that at the time had 426K miles on it. Now granted his dad was a Honda Certified Master Mechanic that opened his own shop after he got tired of being a service manager at a dealership so he did all of the maintenance on it but that thing looked like it just rolled off of the assembly line inside and out.
Top of the day to you Scotty
I own a 2007 RL SH-AWD, live in MN, I’ve owned 2 AWD SUV’s that weren’t as good in the snow, and the rest of the year, it drives like a dream! Far & away the best car I’ve ever owned.
how’s it holding up and what mileage?
Beautiful and clean car Scotty🔥🔥🔥
3:30 those light follow the road by themselves!? Wow never seen one of those 👀
Just brought a 2015 tlx with just under 45k miles. Great condition. I love it
Jiffylube is bad about that too. 6 months earlier I had the front rotors and pads replaced at Firestone because the rotors were warped. And Jiffylube was trying to convince me my pads were almost metal on metal. This is a company vehicle.
Scotty Quote of the Day: "It could last years and years... aaaannnnd years"
In summary, 300k miles
@@njad3 If that is all they get out of it, I'd be shocked.
@@njad3 they last way longer than that buddy
Hard to trust the dealership when they've multiple times told me I needed new brakes only to check and have well over half. Digital calipers are your friend!
my Aruca RL had headlight issues - those tracking headlights cost a FORTUNE to fix. They didn't sell many RLs, and they are nice, but they are rare and cost tons to fix.
@@captinbeyond I agree. Don't buy a maroon red 2007 RL with light tan interior from Ohio - as it had a run-in with a 300lb White Tail Deer. After the insurance paid $8K to fix the front end and those now cross-eyed headlights, and the sun-roof (hoof hit the roof and shattered it) and a new paint job (Urine does wonders to the finish)... sure ... it's a great used RL...

Thank you!!!!!
