2002 Acura RL nav dvd upgrade

Written by: njalan on Oct 22, 2008 06:25 PM

I have a 2002 RL with nav but the navigation dvd appears to be outdated although it has been working since new from 9/2001. I went to my local Acura dealership (East Brunswick, NJ) to buy an up-to-dated dvd but was told nothing in stock (they don't carry this item at all). I then went online to eBay to look for it but was very much confused, because there are so many different ... Read More...

Best year for used 2005+ Acura RL

Written by: nowakj66 on Oct 01, 2008 05:57 PM

I am getting semi serious about a used Acura RL in the 2005 - 2008 range. 2005s certified are now being priced mid to high 20s which is attractive. There seem to be a lot coming off lease now. I do not see as many 2006, 2007 or 2008s. Any sense which is the best year? Will the bulk of used 2006s be available in a year? And used 2007s are year after that? Should I concerned about ...

You need to take into consideration how a car is driven. If you have a lead foot, your mpg will suffer. If you cruise btn 55-65, you have optimum mpg. For reference, see this link about real world RL mpg:kamdog, "Acura RL Real World Fuel Economy" #1, 28 Mar 2007 12:24 pm. The 09 RL has a bigger engine, and is supposedly tuned for quicker pick up and acceleration. Thus, ... Read More...

Acura’s Customer satisfaction policy

Written by: amz on Jan 19, 2008 06:07 PM

I purchased 2007 RL less then 6 month ago, and already have major problem.

Nobody's Perfect

Written by: circlew on Dec 19, 2007 09:50 AM

Honda has announced the recall of 43,000 Acura RL sedans. The recall — which affects 2005-2008 model year cars — is due to a faulty power steering hose that can crack and leak fluid onto the catalytic converter, possibly leading to fire. Earlier this year, Honda recalled 182,756 Civic sedans, making it one of the most recalled automakers of 2007. Despite the recent ... Read More...

RL 2007 Navigation DVD

Written by: askus on Dec 13, 2007 10:23 AM

What's taking Alpine so long to process orders for new navigation DVDs? I ordered the 2007 one in early October and now have been told they're still on backorder and I should probably cancel my order and re-order in late Jan/early Feb as they think the part number will change. Acura is no help as they just send me to Alpine. If it's 4-5 months old by the time I get the ... Read More...

Re: Acura lease [critcaremd]

Written by: Car_man on Sep 28, 2007 03:02 AM

Hi critcaremd. This car's lease program varies by term and mileage allowance. You never mentioned what either of these variables are, so for now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. Honda Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease ... Read More...
