So my wife's 2006 Honda accord got totaled in the recent Pittsburgh flooding. We narrowed our choices to a

2009 Mercedes ML350 53k miles $250000
2010 Lexus RX350 59k miles $250000
2011 Acura RDX 15k miles $26000

We are also considering muranos, pathfinders, highlanders and MDXs.

It's seems like the RDX is the best bang for buck out there. I would like an MDXS but its hard to find something with low miles and under 30 k. So it appears I will be buying this REX sometime next week. But I have a few questions.

What would you guys buy ( biased and non biased opinions all accepted)

How long should the turbo be expected to last?

What are the warrenties for this vehicle? B2B = 5 years 50k miles . PT = 7 years 100 k miles ?????

Should I buy a additional warranty after the bumper to bumper is up (appx 2.5 years from now) for the turbo??

They quoted me $1880 for a additional B2B warranty ...extending to 7/100k miles.???? Is this a rip off???

FYI the car is CPO from my local Acura dealer (spritzer)

 

Mod can you plz move to main thread....my bad

 

The RDX certainly looks like the least expensive of your options...

 

You will not be disappointed with the RDX especially if it's the Tech package. The Lexus and MB are bigger vehicles. As a guy who's owned two BMW's in the past, I haven't found any fault with the RDX. I've owned mine for 3 months now and I'm not disappointed in the least bit.

 

Acura RDXs, like most Acuras are awesome. The RDX is reliable and has no major problems. RDXs and MDXs sometimes have rear wheel bearing problems which are evidenced by a roaring noise while driving between 40-60 mph. This is covered by warranty. Maintenance is cheaper than a Mercedes as well

The thing I like most about the RDX is how user friendly the buttons on the dash are layed out. The thing I like least about the RDX is the gas mileage. 27mpg is the best average I've ever gotten, which was driving 55mph on flat roads.

 

I'm with Marco, if you can save ~ $225,000 go for it!
