All good here. I miss the nimbleness of the RDX, but only until I push the MDX through the curves and corners, and then the SH'ing makes me forget all about the RDX. I'm a fan of the Acura SHAWD system, needless to say.
Hi everyone
ive been on this forum for years to learn about my 2013 RDX, but I recently bought a new MDX. I read a lot here before buying and appreciate all the help the members gave me. Before I bought mine, I looked for a photo of a silver one with the factory option black wheels, but couldn't find one. So...I'll post mine in case anyone else is looking
Well I was not at all happy with the condition of the 2015 MDX. Previous lessee treated it like a rental as far as I can tell after spending two months with the car. So, with a lot of effort, research, and phone calls, traded it off for a new MDX:
2015 AWD MDX TECH: 28,244 miles when traded on 8/31/17
2017 AWD MDX TECH: 7 miles when purchased on 8/31/17
Trade difference: $13K
The 2017 is MSM on Gray Stone - It is really a pretty color combo....
Would you mind posting some interior shots of your 17 Tech? I'd like to see some real world pictures of the middle row, specifically. If you have car/booster seats that would be great too. LOL. Trying to see how much room booster seats take...
I picked it up on Friday. I'm starting with a 3 yr lease then going to buy it out. I put $5k down (paid tax up front) for $360 a month, $28.7 residual with a money factor of .0005. My goal was to keep the monthly cost down as much as possible.

Nice looking ride mrgold... hows the plastic dip holding up? Thinking of doing that just for the emblem
It has only been a few weeks; but, still haven't found any issues. Zero signs of peeling or discoloring around the exhaust outlets either. Had a few spots of plastic dip over spray on the windows or body. Plastic dip comes off very easy from those over spray areas. I was originally going to wrap all the same areas; but, vinyl wrap quotes were $700-$800 compared to $500 for Plastic Dip. The wrap places couldn't guarantee the wrap wouldn't start peeling off in a few months in the hard angled sections like the door handles, high impact areas like the front, or high heat areas like the exhaust outlets. My impression was vinyl wrap would be better suited for larger areas like you would with paint protective film if you want it to last long-term.
I also de-badged my sport hybrid leaving only the Acura symbol front and rear. My sleeper MDX that is the closest thing we have to a MDX Type-S version.
Got off work late with very few cars in the parking lot. Looked like a nice pic to take on a 102 degree F day. Have the Saris bike rack on from early morning Fat Tire ebike riding near the Rio Grande river. Hard to tell; but, haven't washed the MDX in almost 2 weeks. Ceramic coating and PPF are doing their job!
