Help with Used 2007 RDX

Hello!
I am looking to buy a used 2007 RDX that has about 184k miles on it. According to CARFAX, it only has 6 service history records with one owner. I was just wondering if you thought this would be a good investment and if this car would last for a long(ish) time. I haven’t gone to the dealership and taken it for a test drive or anything yet, but I definitely will if I choose to buy it.
This is the link to the carfax listing if anyone would like to see it:

I am really not very well versed in cars, so any help would be a great help!

Welcome to the board!

here is some reading for you:
https://acurazine.com/forums/1g-rdx-...-story-954514/

use the search function or browse through the respective forum for problems encountered by owners.

i bought my 08/base several years ago and added over 60k km since, a lot more to come.

Suggest to check it out before deciding to buy, seems it was off the road in the at least past year.

cheers

Carfax history doesn't mean anything if an owner used a shop that doesn't report, or did their own maintenance. Check to see if it has any other service records - the cars come with a maintenance log, perhaps it was updated. Well-maintained cars should go far beyond that mileage without much trouble. In addition to standard items, at that mileage you'll want to make sure the shocks, struts and serpent belt were done, or set aside some money to get them done.

It’s not good on gas that’s a lie in the ad. The leather is in horrible condition. Also you need to find out how bad that accident was and if they repaired it right. Other than than the struts, compressor, and a few other items go bad around 100,000 miles. Can provide a list if needed...
