Thinking of buying the 2011 Acura RL?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2011 Acura RL; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Thinking about the 2011 Acura RL? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Before you sign for the RL
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
The numbers in plain words
Its powertrain is the 3.7L 6-cylinder with all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
It is rated at 11.9 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 36 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $208.30. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
What to expect from the RL
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Luggage space is rated at 396 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Try the RL on your commute, then decide.
Year and trim
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. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.83 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Send a request
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2011 Acura RL from us first.
