Need help on decision

Two options:

2007 RDX 55k Miles NO NAVI WHITE

Rear Bumper/Front Bumper shows a slight color mismatch dealer says possible because of the sun. No recorded accidents on CarFax/Autocheck or through DMV/Insurance.

Some nicks, rock chips, and some scratches. Interior looks nearly perfect besides it being dirty on one door which they said they would re-touch.

Engine looks real clean. Car run smooth and tranny seems in very good condition (shifts smooth). 1 owner -- some maintenance

Black Interior

16k + TTL




Option 2: 07' RDX Silver NO NAVI

15k + TTL

Minor cosmetic damage (rock chips, typical wear and tear)
70k miles
Engine looks clean -- car feels normal similar to above (option 1)
Ivory Interior
Interior has more cosmetic issues then Option 1
Side of seat as black stains possibly (driver chair)
Rear seats middle has some wear
CarFax clean 1 owner - some maintenance

Which one would you choose?

I can't find a Navi RDX without being insanely overpriced/insanely high mileage in great condition without it being 1k miles away from me.

I'd go with the white one. My F/R bumper are slightly mismatched as well on mine and it hasn't been in any accidents.

Do you have a link to them by any chance?

About to head to bed, but I posted pics in the Car Talk section as well for quick ideas.

I'd prefer white over Silver.

Looks like slim pickin's when it comes to used RDXs any where. I have almost 95,000 miles on my 08 RDX and it still rides and looks like the day I purchased it +3 1/2 years ago. To me, it does not matter how much you pay for a car; what matter is how much the car is worth to you. There are plenty of cheaper alternatives to the RDX (none I would go for). I loved the 07-09 RDX looks, color combo, tech, additional space compared to my TSX, Acura reliability, and turbo engine+Hondata reflash. Not perfect; but, perfect for me.

I would go for the tech if that is what you want. I saw a few RDXs with Navi close to Houston:

John Eagle Honda: 07 silver/taupe tech, 63,500 miles, $16,495

Volkswagen of Alamo Heights: 08 Black/taupe tech, 64,445 miles, $18,988
http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...gIndex=2&Log=0

Here is 07 RDX silver/ebony tech, $17,998, 70,000 miles on odo, at CarMax you an ship from San Diego for $600:

I've searching for a white for a long time and can also say that the white rear bumper is a miss match from the rest of the body.

Woot Woot!!!

Congrats on the pickup, I have an 08 white non-tech and i love the thing. The mismatch of bumper and body color is a problem across the board, just how acura decided to paint the thing. Enjoy it though

Thanks man, I love it so far.

Can't wait to get the re-flash so the turbo lag is greatly reduced.
