My Nighthawk Black 2000 Acura 3.5 RL with 211,863 Miles 

I love these 2000-2003 acuras. Some of the most beautiful cars ever made.

I’ve always loved this body style. Always reminds me of the ever so beautiful Mercedes W140 S class!

Your videos are like the car brochure came to life. I just love your soothing intros, Tyson. I can't get over how clean the roads, parking lots, and meridians are in AZ. Ours take such a beating all winter, they just look horrible. Oh yeah, beautiful RL too! I loved the story. Thanks, as always, for sharing.

Back when luxury cars and styling was done right . Absolutely beautiful

You have a beautiful collection of cars Tyler,👍

5:27 YES same!! When I am at Toyota getting an oil change I am constantly complimented for having such an immaculate condition Lexus with over 230,000 miles. Definitely how my family does things too, keep em cosmetically and mechanically brand new as much as possible. Keep headlights clean, touch up any dings, stuff like that.

This should be an inspiration to anybody that owns a car or truck of any age to take care of it. The results speak for themselves.

I love your videos and it seems I'm not the only one who takes alot of care for everything I own including my cars.

My mom had a 99 and my aunt had an 02, both in the pearl white color. They both had them over 15 years. Such great cars and theres still quite a few of them on the roads today from what I see.

Tyson, I can’t say enough about how your vids bring me back to a time when cars were simply great! Your collection and style of vids is perfect! Thank you for bringing back this positive nostalgia!

Its a beauty for its age.Love the way you take care of your cars

Everytime i watch one of your video on another Acura in your collection it just reinforces me not to give up my 2009 Acura TL SH-AWD now with 170,600 miles.

Very nice Tyson!! Funny enough, I do remember some of those buildings in the background from when I lived in Phoenix many moons ago! Thanks for taking time to share my friend!!

The car look like it just pulled off the showroom floor.

Such a handsome car with great proportions. Thank you for taking such great care of it!

this car is absolutely beautiful! wow

Thank for being out the RL the car is gorgeous💯

Reminiscent of the 95 Legend GS sedan I owned 15 years ago....a sweet ride!

Tyson., you continue to impress. The Rl is fantastic, now i want one, awsome!

The gold building is.... gold. Perfect timing with the sun. Nicely done.

Love these older luxry cruisers.

Beautiful car. I always liked how sophisticated yet tough these looked in Black.

Such a prestigious looking car .. so mint

Nice whip, clean as hell. I appreciate owners who keep older cars in this condition

😍 I love everything about Acura

Gorgeous Acura RL, I have seen these versions with over 400,000 miles highly reliable vehicle when maintained properly like yours. You have the first generation which was produced from 1996-2004. This 3.5 RL know internally as the "KA9 to replace the Acura Legend. This 3.5RL had a longitudinally mounted V6 engine had its center-line mounted in-line with the car's axis, not transversely. This allowed for a smaller turning radius and maneuverability. As well as 56/44 Front/rear weight distribution. Front wheel drive, 4 speed transmission. 225HP classic car.

Beautiful car. I had that exact car in silver. I think it was my favorite car ever.

I love the story behind this car!! what a beautiful example of an RL. Love the interior on those, happy for you getting it back. these early models seem to be coming more and more uncommon in good condition like yours. Now you gotta shoot an intro vid of the vigor :D

What an absolutely fantastic car! Honda/Acura and Toyota/Lexus really made some outstanding cars in the mid-90s and early 2000s. They were uncomplicated, well-designed inside and out, performed magnificently, were reliable, and were also still affordable, compared to what they've become today.

Pure beauty...

What a beauty.

Great ride, the gated shifter takes me back to my 98 Prelude and 04 TSX

looks brand new. reminds me of a Mercedes

My Dad had a 99 RL in that silver blueish color with Nav! I was 16 back in 99 and thought man, I wish that car was mine. 8 years later it became mine haha.

Beautiful!💖

Looks absolutely Mint!

I also own a Nighthawk Black 2000 Acura RL In excellent condition and I love it. Previously I had an 88 Legend, then a 94 Legend. They are all great cars.

Thank you for the video

Hello there, Very impressed on your how this car held up, and glad to hear you wound up with your original baby, luv these kinda videos dude... Seldom and Rare but so worth watching, gotta check out your other stuff now, thanks...

Wow! Been following you for a while but just saw this video. Acura of Concord is our dealership and we are on our second car from them (First was a 2015 TLX, now a 2020 RDX). Your story is very interesting, but not surprising for an Acura fanatic like yourself. It's amazing how many people you've met and connections you've made through this hobby of yours.

Beautiful R L I had the same one and I regret selling it ty for the video the video brought me back memories of my Acura RL same one black on black leather

Your car looks gorgeous. I and my family have had Legends and RLs of almost all models from 1987-2003. I had a 1996 RL for 15 years before selling it in 2015 with 205K miles, never broke down once in 15 years. I bought a gorgeous pearl white 2003 RL for my dad which he drove for 9 years before totaling it.

That thing is absolutely mint

This video makes me want to go buy one. The best RL generation ever built. It’s basically the same engine as my legend

Sweet car ❤

This style was Acura's best looking cars to me. 🤩

Beautiful car my man. So jealous lol. Good shit

I know this is an old video but my first car was a 1998 Acura RL, I have missed her😢 thanks for the upload & nostalgia (:

Ty, being in Vegas, I'd fly to PHX just so you can pick me up in this beautiful black mamba! I knew it had family history with your mother, but the full circle aspect is amazing! This car is my number 2 in your collection, behind the Legend sedan. ;) Great work like always.

Absolutely beautiful car. It's called Honda Legend here in Europe, and I've been wanting to own one for as long as I can remember.

I remember when this generation came out in the late 90s. Its headlights was what used to catch alot of peoples attention back then. I remember the RL, Nissan Maxima, BMW 7 series and Lincoln Mark VIII back in the late 90s early 2000s. Having those unusual bright highlights God when I was in Highschool back those were some of my dream cars.

Very fitting song at the beginning

These cars are so beautiful idk why but I think they’re elegant

Love that understated design. Had one in Australia (named it “Doris” because as an “old person’s car”, Doris is not a name many women get these days), a 1999 Honda Legend. Took it on many a road trip between Brisbane and Central Queensland, and also on the purchase drive from Sydney to Brisbane.

I really enjoyed this one!

I've got to get one of those one day I love them. Funny story about 10 years ago i bought a used 90 Integra GS for my mom in GA. The guy i bought it from was the original owner who bought it from Acura of Concord. I live in South Carolina. apparently he was from the Bay area originally. Small world.

Great story, it’s funny how things work out.

love the story of the car! I just found out about this car n I love it’s lexus esque / mercedes look but with that honda name

I have one, but different color. Yours is beautiful.

Currently have the 2004 RL. She may be a bit scuffed up but at 170k miles she still drives so smoothly

Timeless design

Wow what a stunning example of the 3.5 RL, I rarely see them on the road, having had 2 Acura Legends I love all Acuras, but for a black car this just looks amazing. It's unfortunate that you don't see more of these on the road, nor legends...😓

What a beauty! I can’t believe the price back in 2000, 42k!

Shes a beauty bro!!

Nice to see all of your instrument lights are working. Recently swapped instrument clusters from a junk yard and had to replace all of the gauge lights on my 97. I could only find T6.5 bulbs from one seller on ebay and when they showed up they still didn't fit right. I had to jam them into their sockets to get them to fit. They also had a red hue to them instead of bright white. Better than nothing though!

Looks brand new

Very nice car very clean for 200K. I used to want one of those back in 03-04. I ended up buying a TL 06 ( dream car) and was recently totaled last year. Also I live in Concord California and I know exactly where that dealership is. Pretty cool!!

Nice cruiser!

I love it. I want to buy it! Lol

I used to own one of these, smoothest accelerating Car ive ever driven in my life.

Great video and gorgeous Acura! This car cost 3 times more expensive when new and considered as a rare car in Indonesia 😭. Many people ended up buying the "econo-box" version of this car back in 2000s (Honda City Type Z).

As for the paint, it looks great! Black paint is challenging!

Ah man this car looks so good in black... I have a 99 in ruby red pearl, 292k miles. Still runs beautifully. No major issues apart from the steering rack developing a major leak so I replaced it. Don't regret the purchase at all.

I mean.. What an absolute specimen you have here. Cleaner than a 3 day old Cadillac

Your family sure knows how to keep a car in Mint condition!

That’s clean

Bullet proof car.. lovely shape

Just beautiful I love it! Gorgeous ok every way, one day I’ll buy a 3.5RL, a 3.2CL Type S and maybe a 2005-2010 ish TL Sedan. I have a bunch of Lexus right now (ES330, ES350, LS460, SC400, and SC430) and I want to get into the Acura scene!! I love Acura just as much as I love Lexus !

Beautiful RL I just got one that has 230000 a few blemishes but beautiful..... Nothing like the story behind yours but we'll maintained all service records

Nice!!!

Wow what a great video! As a sentimental car lover myself I personally was much more fond of the acura legend that this replaced the only because I thought the styling looked far more muscular and less like a copy of the LS 400. Although I'm an automotive wholesaler I still drive my a 2000 Toyota Camry with 425 K miles on her. I Adopted her back in October 99 with 700 miles From an elderly man who had purchased her only a month earlier But decided He Wanted the all new 2000 Avalon instead. I was looking at a stripped down Left over 1999 base model Camry CE with a 5 speed stick and roll up windows. As a starving 20 year old college kid it was all I thought I could afford. Suddenly That elderly man came flying through the front door of the dealership angry and offended at the low ball price they were offering him for his 2000 XLE With only 700 miles. We struck up a conversation. He asked me why a young good looking college kid Like me would want Such a boring and mature car like a Camry when there were so many other more fun in sporty cars that were cheaper? I told him that I was currently driving My mom's old 89 Camry hand-me-down With almost 200 K miles on it. I was going to college up in Daytona and head to take the drive back down to Miami Beach every Weekend And even though the old Camry had never broken down I Didn't want to press my luck. The real reason BTW was because I was tired of driving the old boxy dinosaur 89 And I wanted to buy a new car O on my own like an idiot. The elderly man Told me he was impressed by the strong head on my shoulders and marched me back into the dealership. He told the sales manager that he would only trade in his XLE In on the Avalon if they promised to sell it to me for what they were giving him in trade. I ended up getting that XLE that cost the man 28K23 days earlier For less than 15K out the door which was 3K less Then the base Camry I was negotiating for. Long story short me and my Camry Have been together for 20 years now and it's a running joke amongst my family and my homies that we come as a package deal. I throw her birthday parties In my friends know they had better come with Gifts for her. Not to brag but even though IM very successful at what I do And at this point I could pay cash for almost any new car I wanted within reason and I have over the years I still love and drive my baby girl.

The 1996 RL that replaced the Legend was THE first car ever with a built in navigation system. These are one of my favorite cars especially with the longitudinal engine mount.

Cleaaannnnn man minnnnnntttt

Just 1Beautiful Automobile,💞😍

Ok.... Very weird idea... Have you ever thought about showing it to Terry one day? Man that sounds so sweet.... Just like most of the 90's Lexus cars, it's so silky smooth!

With a V8 engine and the rightful Legend name, it would've been a homerun!

Love these vids, you just need a TL now!

It really looks like a Mercedes and a Lexus combined and that’s not a bad thing

Nice...I wanted it badly but not easy to come along with immaculate condition

7:24 that’s a brochure shot if I’ve ever seen one 😍😍

Damn I swear Honda and Acura had real good flow with these cars back in the day.

Black is the best color for these. People always say Honda/Acura v6 with automatics are unreliable yet these can take a beating. I remember these rls having a super long model run what was it 1996-2004?

Looks mint... I just bought my 2000 Honda Legend with 57k miles

looking mighty executive

That's such a bad ass story lol just for that I would never give up the car lol

@Tyson, have a look at the power steering line & pump, something is not right there... Great collection, though! I enjoy so much watching your videos as a Honda enthusiast from the other side of the globe :)

Woww FAM that's nice black is always I almost had one,almost..

Dude my 98 Acura RL had 397,950 miles on it , totaled by a deer. Original engine and transmission!

Well this upset my morning 😭😂 i totaled mine at 140 thousand.......they are incredible cars id get it again over any other model....my favorite

These look really good with some wide wheels
