2008 MDX, Deal or Pass?
Hello everyone, hopefully to become a MDX owner soon (sold my 05 TL, needed something bigger). I found a black base model with 176000 miles on it. He's the second owner. I checked it out the other day and noticed these issues. Right tail light cracked. CD player stuck with a CD. Small oil leak coming from around the oil filter area. Carfax says it was in an accident which the seller said the back window was busted when a salesman was backing the vehicle. Timing belt, water pump, tensioners and all pulleys changed at 92K. I plan on having it inspected at a Sears Auto. The seller's bottom line price on it is $6750. Worth considering or keep looking? Thanks!

Short Answer: No.
Long Answer: Timing Belt is due again, That "Small Oil Leak" in the Oil Filter area can mean Oil Pump = $$$$, All in you are probably seeing more money than getting a Working Order MDX... Also for a Base Model is not cheap at all with that many problems. Sears Auto??? Please NO... Go to a reputable Car Shop or better yet an Acura Dealership.

I just bought a 08 black tech with 127k miles for 9k, and I still feel that I over paid however it seems to be properly maintained the only snag is that the car fax doesn't specifically say that it has had the timing belt serviced and a couple of interior quirks just my 2 cents you can draw whatever you like from it
