Used 2018 Acura MDX for Sale in Hoffman Estates, IL

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.

Meets my needs for reliability and luxury. I really like the ACC and LKAS. Set those two functions and just let the car do the driving.

Where do I start. I???ve been doing business with Arlington Acura for almost 14 years. One thing that stands out is seeing some of the same faces that were there the first day I walked thru the door in 2005. I???ve purchased two vehicles, both of which have been maintained by the the service department. While purchasing a vehicle should be the highlight of the experience, I judge my experience over the years by the exceptional service staff. I can???t say enough about the passion they have to satisfy the customer, from the manager to the porters. Keep up the good work everyone and a special THANKS to Mark Neitzke!

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

I recently purchased my 5th Acura (a 2017 RLX) from Muhammed Patel and, as usual, he was professional, courteous and extremely helpful through the entire process. when I came to pick up the RLX i spotted a used MDX. Muhammed worked with me so I could fit both cars into my budget. Muhammed and his team have always looked out for me whether it is purchasing a car or getting one serviced. he makes it a pleasure! Muhammed is your "go-to" guy if your looking to make a purchase! i can't recommend high enough!

This car is amazing! It super comfortable and roomy! The middle row moves forward and back ward . It’s great family vehicle, and such a smooth drive!

I've been a Loyal Acura owner close to 30 years. Starting with 2 Acura Legend Coupes. I've purchased/Leased at least 15-20 Acura's between my wife and I, majority from Arlington Acura specifically for their Management, Sales, and Service Teams,they are the reasons we go back. Muhammed Patel, by far is the Best Salesman I've ever dealt with anywhere, we are good friends, he knows what I like, and looks out for my best interest. My newest purchase/Lease last week, was by far the best experience, as I've been going through a tough time. The whole team from Muhammed, Chase, Yegor, and Paula made it possible by going the extra mile to get the deal done. Their Service Team, is also professional, and I would know, I've been managing Service Department for quite a few years. It's also a nice feeling to walk into a place of any business, and be recognized just as we were friends, that also means a lot to me. That's my experience with Arlington Acura.

I loved this car and I still have my heart set on it. The base model alone is top notch and the safety features are great for anyone level of driver.

Really struggled with this decision but the 2017 Santa Fe sport just did not perform well. Dustin helped me review features and test drive the RDX. I've never traded in a car with less than 2yrs ownership but once I did I never looked back. Appreciated the low pressure, helpful and courteous support.

We had looked for a long time for a new SUV and didn't like body styles. We saw and drove the Acura MDX and really liked it

I bought my 2nd vehicle in 3 years from Mike Nauert at Arlington Acura in Palatine. Hands down the best car-buying experience ever (along with my first purchase from Mike). I had limited time to be at the dealership, so I worked with Mike over the phone. We agreed on the vehicle and price, and I asked for him to have the paperwork and vehicle ready for a quick turn when I came in. When I got there the vehicle was ready and polished, and my meeting with the finance guy was a whole 5 minutes - seriously!! Mike is an easy-going, no-pressure sales professional that you feel good about buying a car from. What is normally a painful experience was a breeze the past couple of times with Mike. Would highly recommend Mike if you're looking for a car and don't want the typical car-buying experience.

Comfortable seating with plenty of room. The third row is a great option for when my daughter and her family are visiting and we all want to go somewhere together. Great riding with plenty of get up and go.

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

The car is great but the dealership ruined my Happiness , Don’t buy or lease and car from Acura Down town , they give you a used and damaged card as new car and if you complain to acura Canada , they don’t care about you . Acura downtown does not have a General Manager , only one cheaper guy roles as General sale manager and he screw up customers

This car is a true luxury SUV. I loved my Audi Q7 but must say I like this MDX even better already and I only have 1300 miles on her. It handles and performs wonderfully and is very comfortable.

Very comfortable, very classy, well made. V6 engine 20? wheels. Large cargo area that turns into 3 extra seats. Apple car play, auto windshield wipers. Full security and safety features.

BMW x5m serviced and maintenenced multiple times here, never returned for the same problem twice. Staff very friendly. They have helped facilitate several warranty and recalled issues on top of the primary repair. Honestly, couldn't say anything about facility because eveytime I have a loaner waiting for me, so never need to sit down inside, I'm sure it's nice though.

Love the look internally and externally. However the price tag was too high for the technology package. Enjoyed the comfortable cabin/cockpit. The ride was smooth and quiet. Just exceeded my budget as I would have purchased an extended warranty to cover all of the technical & moving gadgets

The sales person was very courteous and was very helpful in assisting us to choose the right vehicle for us. He explained in detail the operation of the vehicle we were interested in. The person in charge of the finances was vry friendy and helpful and conducted the transaction to our satisfactory.

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.

My wife had been looking for a very specific car all over the internet. Finally, she found "the one" at Jennings Chevrolet. I called and talked with Adel and he told me all about it. On his word, we bought1-way plane tickets from Boise, ID to Chicago, took a $50 Uber and arrived at Jennings the next day. Adel had the car all ready for us and it was everything he said that it was. He gave us a discount for the plane tickets, paid for the Uber and made us feel very confident in the purchase. After a 3-day, 1900 mile trip back (by way of Mt. Rushmore), we couldn't be happier! I would fly back to Jennings and do it all over again! Everyone, especially Adel, was fantastic to work with and totally upstanding. Great experience and my wife LOVES her Jazz blue, 2016 Chrysler 300s AWD. (See, I told you she was specific).🛫🙂

For 52k it should have more features such as cooling chair options, inhance navigation graphics, touchscreen navigation, have weather temperature on the navigation screen. Have towing options included with roof top railings. Panoramic roof should be included for this price.

Pleasant. They could have another solution for car washing while they are under construction for over a year. It was a selling point.

This car is excellent value for money. Even the base version has most of the features that typically are upgrades in other cars in the same segment.

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.

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

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.

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.

I’ve always loved the exterior and interior stylings of the MDX. The car handles excellent great. It has three suspension modes which lets you select how the car handles, comfort, normal or sport. The car has so many safety features that make it great for all drivers.

Need luxury with 3rd row seating. Also want all of the latest safety features out there. Acura offers all of these at a price that is thousands less than their competitors. Also, Acura is very reliable, safe, and luxurious. Highly recommended.
