Buying a used MDX
If you're in the market for a used MDX, make sure that the recall work has been performed on the transmission; its failure when the vehicle is out of warranty will be costly.
Also, Acura Canada recently launched a Pre-Owned Certified Performance program. It basically means that used MDX models up to 4 years old (2003-2007 as we speak) are backed by a thorough inspection, a powertrain warranty, an exchange privilege and roadside assistance. Best of all, financing rates currently start at 0.9% for 36 months.
Key competitors of the MDX include the BMW X5 3.0i, the Ford Explorer, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Lexus RX 300/330, the Mercedes-Benz ML320/350, the Nissan Pathfinder, the Toyota 4Runner and the Volkswagen Touareg V6. Most of these, however, didn't offer 7-passenger seating.
Conclusion
At Auto123.com, we've always like the MDX for its high style, comfort and strong yet efficient powertrain. Many manufacturers launch an all-new vehicle and improve it (read: fix bugs) over time; the original MDX seemed faultless right off the bat.
A second-hand MDX is an intelligent choice since it's luxurious, powerful, reliable and competent through the winter months. As always, if you find one that's just the right price and looks good, get a written inspection performed on it before signing the contract.
