Aren’t they fwd in that era though? If that one didn’t have the two claims I’m sure some idiot would pay way too much on bat in hopes of retiring off of the 5k he’d make off of storing it for 10 years

Big bucks... but no mileage. wonder if BAT worthy

That one has been for sale for ages now. That big an ask is going to make it tough to find a local buyer. Given the mileage the price isn't that crazy, but still tough to swallow.

They're still mid engine/rear wheel drive and a blast to drive on a twisty road. I've never heard of this clutchless manual thing before though. That's a lot of money too, considering a friend of mine struggled to get $5k for a mint JDM one.

FWIW, it's not actually clutchless. It's an automated clutch and there is no clutch pedal.

Toyota now offers a five-speed manual in the MR2 Spyder that you shift using buttons on the steering wheel or by bumping the transmission selector on the center console, and without depressing a clutch pedal. Both controls initiate a sequence in which the throttle is closed, the clutch is disengaged, and the shift mechanism is activated. On downshifts—as in Ferrari's $155,000 360 Modena F1—the system provides a blip of power to match engine and transmission speeds for seamless events.

They can call it whatever they want, it's a piece of shit transmission and that person is dreaming if they think they're going to sell it for $18k... hence why it's been on CL for over a year now

For a Honda/Acura, the RL is too complicated. Replacement parts when were available would cost a fortune(for a honda), now basically anything unique to that car if needed is likely obsolete.

I would steer clear of that car.

That’s a good point. I still miss my 2000 RL.

IIRC they were fraught with electrical issues. From what I'd heard at least.
Beautiful cars though. Timeless design.

I asked my mechanic about that gen RL, and he said just get the beak TL with sh awd. I think they are much the same thing, similar power but the TL has newer technology. Apparently size wise inside is similar too?

$5000 for a 07 M35x isn't bad. Basically, a big body G35 for 5k isn't too bad.

with the RL if the electrical gremlins weren't known to effect the drive/power train too much, I'd be pretty confident in that car going forward

Yeah pretty good deal if its in good mechanical shape. The oem kit is super rare on a M35x only usually equipped on a M45.

essentially a scaled up G35. seemed to be a pretty reliable car from I've seen in the past few years. but they do get neglected at a certain point of ownership seemingly.


AWD based on the GTR's ATTESA-ETS front and rear torque split system. car is usually RWD dominant under most conditions. up to 50% power to the front on slippery surfaces or moving from a standstill. Fuel consumption shouldn't be a huge difference compared to the RWD ver... unlike mercedes's early 4matics or BMW Early X drive cars.
