I "discovered" the ZDX about 2 months ago and have been obsessed ever since. Although I don't need a car currently, the ZDX has made me want to purchase one.

I am looking at 2010s currently due to the reasonable costs. I have been focused on the Tech package as it appears to provide all the options I would want. However, I found an advance package recently for a similar cost (approx $32k) to a tech. The main differences are the color (white, was looking for black) and the mileage, slightly high at 41K (vs approx 20k-30k on most techs).
So I am just curious to any opinions on the tech vs advance if price was similar but taking more mileage with the advance? Or maybe I just wait a few more months for prices to drop further and find one with less mileage?

It's just that obviously this car is pretty rare and it may be difficult to find decent deals with everything I am looking for and at a reasonable distance to my location. I keep feeling like I need to jump at an opportunity when it's there and not risk waiting

 

advance beats it all
vented seats alone are worth it

 

That good huh? Thanks for the opinion Sandro. Do you think it's worth the extra 10-20k in mileage on the car? I do like the added features the advance offers vs the tech, just don't know if it's worth it for the extra miles on this particular car. But I'm leaning that way as really with an Acura, the extra miles are probably a minimal concern.

 

If you can wait, time is really money on the used ZDX. prices drop every month. I'd personally get an Advance, the added safety features of Collision Mitigation, Blind Spot warning system, and the advanced cruise control using the radar from the CMBS and the vented seats are all pluses to me. The suspension control on the Adv doesn't interest me as much but I've never tried it.
I've been looking and researching the Z for a few months. a little obsessed, my main negative is the mpg. I always wanted to move up in mpg in cars but this would be a small step down from my CLS.
good luck.

 

Advance also adds a suede like headliner, some added ambient lighting on the front doors I think, and the specs show a 'Sport Steering Wheel' which I think is an error. Adv steering wheel looks the same as the Tech one far as I can see.
The new 2013 drops all trims, and is basically a Tech with some Advance like features, and new interior colors. Some ext and int colors were dropped.

 

IDS aka suspension control is actually a great feature, changes the car response greatly

 

Well, I think I've changed my mind to the advance. Now just need to keep searching for the right deal.
