Used 2018 Acura MDX 3.5L w/Advance & Entertainment Pkgs for Sale

The buying experience was pretty easy. Susie was really easy to work with. Noticed a couple minor things about vehicle after purchase so hopefully they'll take care of it quickly. Overall experience was satisfactory.

Good power and that’s basically the only thing this car has to offer. I had 2015 Pilot before, thinking that going to MDX was an upgrade. In reality not so much. Interior is cramped. No window opening in the back tailgate. Not much storage in it vs Pilot. Bunch of electric issues. I work in IT for a living but I tell you this car has too many buttons in console. Turning on AC is like launching space rocket. Overall bad interior design all together. Another issue is sluggish transmission. In a parking lot or a mall going to reverse and forward just drive you crazy. For the money this car cost, there are better options out there.

My experience with online buying has been solidified; I will always use this as my #1 shopping method. My car buying experience was outstanding because of the incredible customer service of Todd Smith (Audi Swanee Mission Salesman) Todd was engaging from the moment he answered my sales call. He wanted to understand my requests and how he could facilitate my desire. I was a very demanding customer and with 2 weeks of negotiating without a commitment it didn't deter Todd; he continued being just as committed to serving my needs. Unfortunately, when I was ready to make a decision to buy, Todd suffered an unexpected emergency but during a critical moment in his life he gave thought to me by passing my case to his Sales Manager (Taz Good) who continued with the same, non-pressure and outstanding customer service. I agreed to buy the vehicle and Taz found me a better interest rate than my 20 year credit union. Well, the buying experience was done but I needed the expensive Audi A8L that I purchased 'sight unseen' to be shipped. Todd and Taz made the connection that ensured my vehicle was shipped in a timely manner and it was. The Audi Swanee Mission team is outstanding and if I am ever in Kansas that will be one of my first stops. This is an outstanding team. Harold

Car is solid and runs very smooth. A very comfortable vehicle. Thank you !!! Hoping it turns out to be a car with minimal issues.

I'm used to spending four or five hours at a dealership to make a deal, at which point I'm exhausted. This dealer had everything set up within an hour, after I selected the vehicle (a new 2017 Jetta SEL). Because I couldn't wait for the car to be cleaned and readied before I had to return to work, they agreed to bring the car to my home with paperwork. Within less than three hours, the car was driven up to my home. To my surprise, the monthly payment was less than I expected; they were able to get a better deal with the finance company. Two days later, they sent a detail person to put door edge guards on the car. I'm always skeptical about car dealers, but this was a surprisingly positive purchase experience.

looking for a car to make road trips in retirement. Wanted a car that handled well, had a good safety rating and offered come comfort and luxury. Test drive a numeric cars and the MDX was our top choice

Excellent Staff! Very welcoming and concerned with my time, which I appreciate! They also gave me a loaner car, so I could keep my day productive! Very friendly and professional staff. Thank You for the help!!

This car has all the whistles and bells that I’m still learning how to use but I enjoy it and my wife is very happy with it.

Rich was a nice guy and was very laid back. We are in the process of buying and he did not pressure us in any way.

Is a very good looking car with seven sitting and most important is all wheel drive that a big plus because needed that in winter time

Dave and Debbie here??? We went to the Milwaukee Auto Show in February to look for a new car for Debbie. She liked her 2010 Honda CR-V and wanted something similar. In the end, she settled on a 2018 Acura RDX AWD base model -- a very similar car. Fast forward to July. We went to the local Milwaukee area dealer on the Fourth of July to see what they had. Three days later we were back for test drives. We bought from this dealer before and had had good experiences. Then we got their price. It seemed high, particularly since the 2019 RDXs hit the floor at the start of June. They said it was pretty much the best they could do. We got home and Dave hit the internet: Edmunds and TrueCar. We started getting offers within an hour or so, more on Sunday, and more on Monday. Some were good. The offer from Muller's Woodfield Acura was better than the others -- enough to make the difference. Danielle Smith and Dave started talking on Monday. She answered all of his questions and made it easy. Having never bought a car out of state and being an engineer, he had many. She even wrote up a sales form he could use with the local dealer (we worked with them first and wanted to give them a final shot). A quick call later, the local dealer's best-they-could-do price suddenly dropped $850, but they would go no lower. They figured we weren't willing to drive to Illinois to save nearly $400. Apparently few of their customers do. For us, $400 is most of a car payment and enough for four or five nights out. Our local dealer also cautioned us about all of the bad experiences customers can have out of state. That same evening, we drove to Muller's Woodfield Acura in Hoffman Estates. We arrived at 7:30 and were out at 9:00. Easiest experience we ever had. Barb took our information to get the paperwork started. Then it was off to the car to check it out and a test drive. Everything was EXACTLY as represented. Same model, same trim, same VIN number and same mileage (12) as quoted. Shortly after, we were filling in blanks and signing here, here and here with Myles. They even took our personal check for the down payment. Then Barb helped us set the car settings and we were on our way. Easy peasy and a quick drive back to Milwaukee and bed. We've had the car a few days now and we made the right choice. The people we worked with followed up to make sure everything's still good. It is. Dave even had a nice email conversation with Scott Muller (his name's on the building). Takeaways: - Woodfield Acura offered a good price and value. We'd happily buy from them again. - Woodfield Acura is big. They have two lots and maybe hundreds of cars (easily at least three times the size of our local dealer). - This is the quickest car purchase we've ever made. In and out in 90 minutes with the car. - Barb, Danielle and Myles were easy to work with and we had a great experience. We imagine the rest of Woodfield's staff is, too. - The internet is a valuable tool for car shopping. Myles said they sell most of their cars via the internet. - The phone and internet are valuable tools for negotiating. We haven't negotiated in person since 2004. - We had to drive a bit to get the price we wanted. It was worth it for us. - Should we ever have any issues under warranty, we'll hit our local dealer. They'll still happily take that business and Woodfield is just too far away for that. Dave and Debbie BTW: Regarding the Finance Manager's work in the question below, we already had all the numbers before we even stepped in the door, courtesy of Danielle. We also knew we didn't want any vehicle maintenance or protection products. Myles' review of all that was essentially a reprise with no pushiness because we were already set. And that's a good thing.

Overall the vehicle has been good except that I have had to have towed in twice. The dealer in MN tested the electrical system and the battery and told me they put in a different battery. After the car had to be towed in the 2nd time I found out they had not replaced the battery and they did the 2nd time and have not had a problem since.

I would like to share a terrific sales experience with Rudy Luther Toyota. Scott Smith and his manager went the extra mile to help answer my questions and preview a specfic model that I had inquired about. After a day of searching for this vehicle high and low, Scott and his team were superb in addressing all my questions. What a fantastic example of putting the customer first ! I highly recommend this dealership!!

The current 2018 MDX is a very good and popular crossover. And in typical Acura form... they've managed to produce a vehicle that has versatility and value. One that has three rows for expanded carpooling, but is a bit smaller than many competitors; one that has a bevy of tech and safety features; and one that is incredibly smooth. For me, a single guy about to turn 30, I made the switch from the TLX sedan to this over 4,000-pound beast for a few reasons (none of which include needing room for 7 haha). But in making that switch, I knew things were going to feel different in terms of driving dynamics. And overall though, I can say it's been fairly seamless and that the MDX was a very familiar feel... highly typical when sticking with the same brand. And while on occasion it feels a tad big (like when parallel parking or weaving through the tight side-streets of a southern New England milltown), overall, I can easily say it drives smaller than it is... which is definitely a plus. Having a wider, more athletic stance its sister Honda Pilot helps it feel very planted in corners and not very top-heavy. The front seats are some of the most comfortable I've ever sat in (and as a car enthusiast, I've been in a lot of different cars). The Tech Package upgrades the sound system, which is absolutely fantastic and highly recommended for audiophiles like myself. Additionally, the Tech Package gives you Navigation, a slew of safety features, and remote start. And I can honestly say, even though it's only been in one snow storm so far, this car may as well be a plow. It's excellent! You actually work hard to get it out of shape, which tells me the traction control, SH-AWD, etc. are all doing their job. Unfortunately though, it's still lacking in some areas, the biggest being the power and drivetrain. I'm sorry Honda, but the ZF-9-speed transmission is garbage! After all the issues that Chrysler has had with it in their vehicles, I see Honda's implementation of it in their vehicles, in a luxury line no less, as an abysmal failure. It's wonky from a dead stop: if you baby it, you go no where... but if you give it any gas, it surges you forward like a rocket (but not in a good way). Believe me, I love a car that can get-up-and-go... but if ever I find a car I like has a ZF 9-Speed Automatic in it again, I'll cross it off my list and keep on looking... I don't care how much I like it. The V6 has a good, throaty sound (as throaty as you can get from a luxury crossover) and it provides decent but underwhelming power, something I attribute to the transmission too. Unlike the potent direct-injection 4-Cylinder I had in the TLX with the 8-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (a match made in heaven, IMO), the big single-overhead-cam V6 just doesn't deliver with the low-end torque, particularly at highway speeds. Yes, it's the "corporate V6", but it's aging... quickly! If I need to pass someone, I find I have to downshift at least two gears just to get going again. A larger turbo would probably be awesome in an MDX (like the 300+ HP 2.3L EcoBoost found in the Ford Mustang). Mate something like that with a better transmission (maybe the 7-speed dual-clutch found in the Sport Hybrid model?) and I think the results would be fantastic! Another part of the car I'm not thrilled with are the brakes. They are strong and quite smooth, but man, they creek incessantly. Every time I'm stopped, when I release the pedal to accelerate, I hear a creek from the brake caliber releasing. For a $50K luxury crossover this is unacceptable, and sadly, it's something Acura has had issues with in their SH-AWD vehicles going back to the 2012 TL! There is also (at least in my 2018) a squeal when hopping on and off the brakes, mostly when reversing (i.e.: when backing into a spot, etc.). I've had two dealers look at the problem... one couldn't figure it out so I received the "it's normal for the car" answer, and the other dealer thought they figured it out but I've heard it since. Not as often, but I've heard it. My concluding thoughts? For the money, the MDX is a really good buy and it IS a really good car. Would I lease another though? Well, it highly depends on what the alleged 2020 redesign brings to the table, because there is room for improvement. One can only hope the redesigned MDX gains more athleticism and power that mimics its smaller sibling, the RDX, while maintaining the smoothness and comfort MDX buyers love.
