Hello MDXers!
I just received a repair estimate well in excess of the value of my '02 MDX which has served me well for a year and a half.
I'm mildly disappointed to see an Acura ready for the heap at under 170,000 miles and with less than 45,000 miles on a 2nd transmission, but I paid little more than the cost of the replacement transmision.
I knew the trannies were an issue on pre-04s but whether in my hands or a second or third owner, all of my and my family members' previous Yotas and Hondas (and Lexuses and Acuras) have hit 250,000 miles or beyond before croaking.
I'll have to have a friend look her over to see if he can get her in minimal working order, otherwise I'll find out if CarMax will pay me more than the measly $1200 the Acura dealer offered.
My folks are upgrading to a brand new MDX and have offered me their 2010 on the cheap. I'm not sure on mileage, but it's lightly used other than probably needing a good cleanup from hauling infant to teenage grandkids around. I never thought I'd be an XUV guy, kinda thought MDXs were soccer mom rides, but I really liked my '02. I realized it's like a nice sedan with more storage, much better for road trips or hauling dogs anywhere. I ran an errand once in the 2010 and felt like I had hijacked one of the transport crafts from the USS Enterprise. It was only missing a couple of disposable red shirt guys, but it made my '02 seem like an antique horse buggy. Between the fantastic ergonomics and the huge tech upgrade, I'm looking forward to piloting my new to me rocket wagon.
Initial upgrades to scope out will be alarm/remote start, audio, and maybe wheels, I'll know more in a couple of weeks.
