The 2000 Acura RL for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2000 Acura RL for sale by us right now. Here is what to know about the 2000 Acura RL before buying one.
What to check on the RL
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. NHTSA has 59 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, electrical system and power train. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Reading the spec sheet
Power comes from the 3.5L 6-cylinder, driving through a 4-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Rated at 13.1 L/100 km combined, it needs around 39 litres for a 300 km round trip. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $22.93. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the RL suits
It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Space, size and seats
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. For luggage, 425 litres means a family's bags for a long weekend.
Drive it on your own roads
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A test week in the RL tells you more than any review. Try the RL on your commute, then decide.
Which one to look for
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
