Thoughts On Buying An Acura MDX 2010-2013 In 2024? by JustSprung: 10:26am On Dec 22, 2023 |
I'm serioulsy looking to buy my first car in 2024 and after much consideration, I would like to go for the Acura MDX between models from 2010-2013. As much as I would not like something too old, I excluded the 2014 seeing that its a style change and totally above my budget, budget being 6m to 7.5m for tokunbo ( based on prices seen on Jiji. ng) I initially thought of the Camry 2012 or Accord 2013 but seeing that their price range from 7m+, I figured I might just do an SUV instead. Didnt look the way of the CR-V earlier models because of that gear placement that seems like that of a truck (no vex dear CRV owners 🙏🏼) and the RAV-4 is way too expensive for any model that is less than 12 years old. Going through the forum, I see most people mention that since the MDX is a luxury car so parts are scarce and slightly pricey and that the fuel economy isn't that good. For context, I would mostly be driving this to the gym, church and the occasional weekend outing. Looking for honest reviews of this car model and even from owners of earlier models. Thanks in advance. |

I think it's pretty reliable. Also looking at the 2008 upwards but you have to be sure the fuel consumption won't be too draining for you. |

Elxandre: Thanks. Since I won't be driving much, I'm hoping it will won't be too much honestly. |

Solid car, driven a friend’s own a few times. Only concern is its fuel consumption but I think you’ll be fine. PS: I agree with you on the gear shifters of the 2006 and below CR-Vs. But the look and placement of the shifter gets better from 2007. I think you should seriously consider the 2013/2014 CR-V. They’ve got great handling and are more fuel efficient. 2 Likes |

venabili: You can't get a okay toks 2013 MDX at 7m,. unless it's distress sale where seller is selling at a loss! Even 8m I doubt unless it came in and got cleared before November 2023 2 Likes |

JustSprung: MDX... Nice car but with unfriendly fuel consumption. I doubt that your budged will get you a toks for the year mentioned. The parts are not scarce and also not pricey compared to Highlander or Rav4 original parts (except you are buying fake toyota parts). If you still insist on premium built vehicles for that your budget, i'll advise you even go for Volvo XC90 and you'll get good value for money. Before you listen to anybody who might criticize volvo here, make sure you have at least test drive an XC90 first and check the premium build. My two cents |

venabili: Those prices currently is not practical for MDX post 2010 model, you'll most likely buy a packaged naija used car as toks for that price If in doubt, pay those sellers putting up those prices a visit and check the customs papers, you'll realise the cars would have been around for over a year and is most likely in use without registration 3 Likes |

venabili: Clearing of MDX now is more than 3m and this one has been there for 6 months? Factored in demorage? Seller may just want to sell at a loss and move on. Am in that situation with one of my cars as well. MDX is certainly a great car, just make sure your oxygen sensors and catalyst are intact. I use Acura as well(RDX) the performance of that car is better compared to rav4(RDX). In the case of MDX it's similar to highlander in performance |

JustSprung:For a first timer an Acura v6 engine is not advisable with fuel @N600/litre Also your budget of 7m just cant/wont cut it. Its advisable u stick to an 06/07 rav4 or crv or buy a sharp toks camry or accord 2010model and have peace. When buying a car its not just your ability to fuel the car and fuel consumption u consider, u also have to consider the general cost of maintaining the car in the long run. An Acura mdx is a nice solid car buy not cheap to maintain if u know what i mean |
