I need your input and opinion friends. I know Acura products and I love them. My younger brother loves my car and he wants to upgrade from an Accord to RDX (he doesn't want to have a TL, the same car as mine.)

We found one for $31.5K CDN. Fully loaded, extremely clean, low milage (40,000 KM) and no accidents.

Please give me your input....yes or no? is there any major issue with this year model?

thank you in advance

^^ Tony....We owned a 2013 RDX (white) and we really enjoyed it. The vehicle has a great engine, great handling and for the price, it is a good CUV.

A few things I didn't like:

1. The rear shocks (made by Sachs) are really garbage and will make a real loud thump in cold weather. You should be able to experience it this week as we have a blast of cold air coming through.

2. My g/f didn't like the lack of height adjustable seat on on the passenger side. She is only 5'3 and when she sat on the passenger side, she felt that the door side were too high and disliked it.

3. The headlights tend to be a bit high so he may get flashed if the previous owner didn't have the light assembly turned a bit closer to the road

Otherwise, it is a good vehicle. You will get decent fuel mileage....The subwoofer is a bit weak and for me, I had to shift the sound with more of a rear bias in order to give the sound a better balance.

At 31.5k for 40 000km, it is pretty good. We sold ours last year for about 37.5 and it was the tech also but had only 12 000 km. If you can negotiate it down to 30 or 30.5 or try and get a cargo tray...

Best of luck

Looks clean, and it has the roof rails and running board add-on. Make sure the Autocheck report is clean.

Yes

3+ yrs in on ours, no issues, not even the shocks, agree the passenger seat is low. Can't think of any real negatives so far.

Tony Pac

Thank you very much! I got all my answers....

Thanks everyone for the info.

Comfy

And.....

I went on vacation and my brother was waiting for me to come back and negotiate the price

Going on Tuesday.

Any idea how much should we pay for this car? assuming the carpet is clean and no accidents.

thanks

^^ Try for 30k or 30.5k....I doubt you will be able to crack below 30k although now with the stop sale on the RDX (and may Acura product), you may not be able to get it.

Tony Pac

True....I heard due to the recall, Acura dealers aren't selling any car. I will figure it out on Tuesday.

i bought my car from Acura de Laval as well. Good people, let's say how much I can negotiate. This car has a couple of extras as well.

^^ Bonne chance and Keep us posted - Was in Montreal last week....Great place to visit for sure. Not sure if I could deal with the traffic all the time though

Tony Pac

sure will do...

oh nice! MTL traffic and roads are terrible (as a Montrealer, I hate our highways). Do you come often to MTL?

weather

I would say about at least 5 times a year....

Tony Pac

We went back and forth to negotiate the price but they don't want. It was avery clean car though. They sold it now

Looking for a RDX in Montreal area!

ThermonMermon

out of curiosity, was that a CPO? I.e. the dealer had done with airbag fix and is open to sell as a certified vehicle? Or was it listed as used, without the recall?

...searching high and low for a 2013 CPO, but autotrader is coming up with 0 results within the US...

Tony Pac

the dealer was selling it as certified. honestly i didn't ask if there was no recall or they fixed it.

They sold it within a few days.
