Pretty nice, they had infotainment touch screen with navi, tv etc in the Mitsi 96 onward F31A F36A shape JDM Diamante, RCA vid/audio inputs in console, JDM 96 onward EA/EC Galants/Legnums also had similar setups.

Imagine if the way he did these "will it run" videos is its a 2 second clip of the car turning over then him saying "yep" then the video ends That's it
@@MXguy95 awwwww,,, this start was too easy.... will miss the old days where you would run 4-5 times back and forth to the terminals and shake the ends to make good contacts ...............
I could really see Jay working at a used car lot,with his spiel and persuation you'd end up driving away in a 3 wheeled wreak and be thinking you got a sweet deal!😂
I have a 2000 3.5 RL with the same issue with the steering column being stuck too high. Need to figure that out. I have 210,000 on mine. Such solid cruisers!
My other 04 RL is around 155k and she cruises just as good as some caddys Ive had. My only wish is that it had a taller overdrive gear. It seems a little high in RPMS at 85-90 mph while the Buicks and Caddys we had were silent and almost at idle by comparison

The lincoln is on the back burner, I started making a video on it starting but its really having some issues so I dont have the time right now to really fix it. Gotta keep moving and do what makes the money !
@@MXguy95 RIGHT ON $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Talks..............luv the AREA 51 reference BTW.....................is that the timing chain.belt tensioners chattering like that?
I love these RL's. My favorite is the 99 model year. Kinda the same as this but I liked that BROWN guage cluster and they have such a good sounding engine note
My mom, aunt, and uncle owned one, two white and one tan. They’re extremely great cars. If I find one I’m scooping it up ASAP. I still a lot of these things on the road today just like I did when I was little and my mom had hers!
What did you pay? I just recently bought a 2005 Acura MDX touring with 256k on the clock for $300. I had to replace the timing belt, tensioner and pulleys (water pump was already done but they hadn't done the tensioner and it was knocking), 4 tires, rear brakes, AC compressor, side view mirror, engine ground cable. Still have to do some other odds and ends like the replace the rear upper control arms with adjustable ones and the valve covor gaskets (inner plug tube seals) but overall it's a decent car. I had to put a bit more into it than expected but that's par for the course haha.
Never knew they had a front facing motor for a front wheel drive car hummmm interesting .. i love it ..... sounds like a sweet ride..... KEEP IT JAY !! .. Love your will it run, lot's of fun ......
I really like the the styling and the solidity of these vehicles. We had something similar to the RL here in the UK. But over here it was badged as a Honda Legend. It didn't sell well at all. I think that's because the Honda badge wasn't posh enough to justify it's price tag. So people went for the Lexus, BMW, or Mercedes equivalent. Love the videos, keep up the good work.
1st get a transmission flush, oil change and 4 brand new tires you’ll be fine with that until your able to get the left door a rear fixed. Good looking car. I have one and by watching this video I will be posting mine up real soon haha!
Crazy how much that tick quieted down for as loud and as long as it stuck around. Wouldn't have held much hope upon first impression of start up. Bought a used 02 in 04 with almost 100k miles for just under $20,000. I drove it another 125k miles. Aside from brakes tires and fluids and belts the only thing that ever went bad was a fuel relay. This was a really well built honda. Imho one their very best examples of quality and dependability.
Going to buy one for my 1st car, I’m looking at one with only 117k miles, white exterior, black interior, Bose audio like this one, awd, oohwee, and it has Honda reliability, yes please! Can’t wait!
Almost as quiet as a Volkswagen diesel! Tim, you need this car like you need an unexpected call from the health department! See to it that Jay finds you one not driven dry on crankcase oil. Keep em coming Jay.
Well that was the predecessor to the RL. It started the whole trend and then the RL seemed to take over and was improved upon. I love my other one to death, its been a great car.
I had three Acura Legends including a GS model. This RL became much more maintenance intensive than any Acura Legend I ever had. The electronics got much cheaper in the parts overall were a lot cheaper built than Acura Legends. Especially the first and second generation Legend
How much does that go for at auction? Here in VA you can find them in same condition for 4-500 bucks on marketplace etc. But as old as they are now I see no value in reselling them.
That car is definitely a keeper! 158k miles is nothing for that Acura. I know someone that had that same car and he had over 300k miles on his. You take care of them and they last a long time. The bumper can probably just be clipped back into place unless the clips are broken, and hopefully you can find a door and fender for it, and it will need a good detailing and it looks like the paint finish isn't the greatest in spots, but heck I would even buy that car to be like my point a to point b work car or something.
Great video.. I love these old RL's.. Curious.. Did you go up and inspect this at Copart or buy it based off of the online pictures? They must photo shop the hell out of their pictures prior to putting them online. The car looked brand new in their pictures.
I scored big time and upgraded from my 9th gen Corolla to a 2005 Toyota Avalon XLS with 283000 miles last week!! Doesn't even have a check engine light 😍 I cannot express how happy I'am to have passing power again.. Been a few years since I've had the pleasure of a big ole v6 to bomb around.

I got outbid on an 02 RL on IAA that the steering column caught fire Very small fire Looked like a simple fix That day i didn't feel like going $500 on it. There fees are outrageous.
That sucks! maybe you can find another one. They are out there, but Ive noticed they dont draw much attention at sales. I like that. Easy to buy, nice to own!
Is my eyes deceiving me or did that car seriously have a Onstar logo on the driver side door window? I thought Onstar was GM exclusive? Am I missing something here? 7:03,
That sound might be an exhaust leak far up like the downpipe or manifold as crazy as it sounds, i was chasing down a tick on my f150 forever thinking it was rockers or lifters or something internal and it ended up being a cracked exhaust manifold. Just my $.02
Weird how Honda (which is Acura's parent company) seemed to copy some Lexus styling and Mercedes styling in the SL. I guess if you wanted one and couldn't afford it, you bought this. Car companies are weird that way. Kinda like how the Silverado and Sierra have existed side by side with each other for so many years even though they're the exact same truck. I remember GM thought about getting rid of GMC back in the 80's but it never happened.

Jay Acura RL are great cars I had a 2000 awesome car ty for the video
That's a very advanced infotainment system for 2004, considering japanese infotainments are usually critisized these days.

Tyson is upset you beat him to this Acura RL.
Those late 90s and early 2000s sedans still look classy and elegant today.
When I saw "will it run" I dived on it thinking it was the Lincoln. Good vid as always 👍

I’ve always loved this yr and body style. Still go hard in paint!!..✔️ she most definitely can be saved!

Hey Im down for a road trip! We can buy up a couple together and make some youtube magic haha.
Thats a nice Acura. Had a Legend many moons ago.
I had a 91 Legend...180k on the dash and you couldn't tell it was running. Best car I ever owned.
Poor car, I love these old RLs
Oh for sure save this! No doubt about it...I’d save it if I lived in your area!
If you part that out, I’ll buy the entire interior. Need to redo the interior on my 02 RL for my VIP build
Almost as quiet as a Volkswagen diesel!
Tim, you need this car like you need an unexpected call from the health department!
See to it that Jay finds you one not driven dry on crankcase oil.
Keep em coming Jay.
How many cars do u own Jay. With cars like these popping up u could end up owning a lot...
Good car. Check the valves. Maybe a little backlash. Good luck with it. Fix it and use it.
This RL will clean up and be very sharp. The engine compartment looks for 158k miles. Fix it, detail and drive the heck out of it!
Those acuras remind me so much of a acura legend
Well that was the predecessor to the RL. It started the whole trend and then the RL seemed to take over and was improved upon. I love my other one to death, its been a great car.
The roofline/doors on these look identical to 2nd gen Legend hence the resemblance.
This was still sold as the Honda Legend worldwide. It was only the Acura RL (or Acura Legend) in North America.
15 years old... still a beautiful car overall
I had three Acura Legends including a GS model. This RL became much more maintenance intensive than any Acura Legend I ever had. The electronics got much cheaper in the parts overall were a lot cheaper built than Acura Legends. Especially the first and second generation Legend

Wonderful cars and built like a tank!

@@MXguy95 It's just like my 2005 Toyota Avalon. Indestructible!
Always liked the look of these.
Hey, when you started the engine, the was ticking as you mentioned, but there was also a "rhythmic tapping/knocking". Do you know what it was?
Valve adjustment should clear that up!
@@a.c.6475 no valve adjustment. Just the hydraulic lifters being noisy. Goes away after a while.
Sounds like it was run dry on oil and the timing is off .. not sure if it is worth fixing up to make a profit
If this is a timing belt motor I would check that and see if it’s jumped a tooth or maybe they replaced it and got the timing wrong
Out of all the cars that should have been rear-wheel drive I can't think of more than the Acura RL
Awesome video as always. You should do some more family videos like in the past.

No surprise that it runs. Honda engines are bulletproof and fire up no matter what.
Do you have to put those codes in every time the car starts, or is this because it was dead?!
I'm assuming because it was dead
Yeah it's because it was dead so the electronics reset.
It was just because the battery was dead.
check timing and give it the italian tuneup. That usually fixes engine ticking
I scored big time and upgraded from my 9th gen Corolla to a 2005 Toyota Avalon XLS with 283000 miles last week!! Doesn't even have a check engine light 😍 I cannot express how happy I'am to have passing power again.. Been a few years since I've had the pleasure of a big ole v6 to bomb around.
Im still interested in you giving that ford EXP a 2nd chance, if wasps moved out by any chance, and that porsche next to it
That’d make a darn good flip once it’s fixed up. Gotta be worth about 1500-2k all day with lower miles and working ac right?
Owns a Junk Yard but not an oil funnel?
Have an oil funnel... too lazy to go look for it ... lol
@@MXguy95 Grrrr you win this round Mr Jay.
It blew my mind when he didn’t put in used oil lol
@@kamryn7496 Man I hope he doesn't do that?
@68Camaro RS/SS The way he talks I'm guessing owner or part owner?
Does the RL and TL share the same transmission? I know the 99-03 TL had some problems.
...no...you won't have any issues with the RL transmission
I own a 2001 3.5RL......still a lovely vehicle
My friend family owned one since new, I don't think anything major has ever happened (broken) on the car.
Built with mercedes style luxury, but reliable like a cheap honda civic, I love mine
The Honda 3.5L is bulletproof.
Just needed to work some oil thru the engine. Cleared right up
Might be a Timex Watch in the motor. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking!
If Tim doesn’t take it, what would you do to make it different from your other one?
I wish finding the code is that easy for everyone. I had to call the dealership and get a run around when I had issues with my radio
This video made me interested in getting an Acura like this for a 'beater'
Switch the driver side door and your good to go. Its worth saving
That ain't no ticking! It's just a diesel!
Glam Stachee haha that’s what I was thinking. Sounds a little like my ‘97 VW Passat TDI 😄
+zane sutherland
And it sounds 100% like a 70's or 80's Mercedes Diesel. God that sound is engraved into my mind from a young age.
Looks like a good car. Pretty girthy for a Honda. LOL. Would love to see it fixed.
You are awesome with your friends
That car is clean man good find.
Sweet ride ! The TL was more popular and cheaper . Great car to save !!! For someone .
Parts should be cheap, if so, figure out whats making the noise under the hood. I have a pretty good idea ehat that is. Should be a great cheap ride.
Nice car, cheap middle luxury motoring, it looks very much like the Lexus LS 400 we have here in England, well worth saving.
I’d leave the door and fender as is so you won’t have to worry about door dings.
Thats one way of doing it !

have you changed the headlights ? ive been wanting to change mine
I did have to change them when I bought the car because one was busted, just replaced them with factory ones.
Hope Tim can be your RL bro!

Hi save it .this is very good car.
I would change the oil and put some seafoam in the crankcase drive it for a while then change the oil again
That kia and the civic got me interested. How far are yall from macon ga
Give it a good oil change with some Marvel mystery oil additive.
