Congrats on the purchase. If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for it? I'm looking at a 2010 TL SH-AWD w/44K miles and I have the dealer down to 23,500.

I paid 17,499 w/ 90,250 Miles. I was hesitant at first about it but review the car fax and saw that it was well documents and all its service was performed at the Acura dealership since day one. Body condition is a 8/10. Talk to the dealer to tell them my concerns about the mileage and the fact I need to to the Major maintenance soon. They said they will take care of it for me.

This is the list of work they did to the car. Pretty good imo.
-Time belt and water pump replaced
-Leather Seat had a rip and that was repaired
-Installed Brand new 17" rims with new tires + 4 Wheel Alignment
-New Brake pads w/ resurfaced Rotors
-New Wheel Bearings
-Trans Fluid Changed
-Differential Fluid Changed
-Drive Belt Changed
-Coolant flushed
-New Air Filter

Congrats, that's quite a bit of work they did for you..

I thought I noticed in the pics that the TL had the 2012-2014 - 17" wheels but wasn't sure from the angle. Any reason why you had them install 17" wheels and tires on your SH-AWD?

Enjoy the car..

Im not to sure myself lol. Their offer was the 18's with the current tires. Which were pretty terrible condition or the 17's new with new tires. I chose the 17's Also I like the way the 17's look. haha.
Future plans are to get some aftermarket 19" or 20" so I wasn't to concerned.

I run the 17's as my winter wheels and they look decent if you plasti-dip them matte black with that paint color and a drop.

That might be the look of my driveway soon. Wife drives an 07 mdx sport.
My cousin has a 09 shawd and he has 135k miles. The car has been problem free and he loves it. I'm interested in one but want a 2012 or newer for the nicer shifting trans

I would love to have a MDX but the damn thing doesn't fit in my garage! Well... it will go in but I would have to climb out of the car thru the tailgate. lol

Only if the RDX came with SH-AWD....
