How does the RDX sound for 27,000$ ?

[alfa147x]

My parents are looking for a vehical to replace my dads 94 Altima and I took a look at a used RDX which sounds like a great car according to its wikipedia page

I don't think he'll want to spend more than 26000$ so any ideas ?
Oh he really weird doesnt want any thing bigger than a i4 and HATE American made cars

I like the RDX what do you think of it?

Mileage 13,869

I saw one in white the other day, and I have to say, it is the prettiest damned SUV on the market. I never got around to test driving one, because I was honestly scared that I was going to like it.

I hate the thought of ever owning an SUV (cuz I don't have any friends and prob never will have a family, lol) but if I had to get one, it'd be an RDX.

I do think that the price is a little high though, for just $4000 more you can get a new one.

Bah - don't listen to him Sure, they share the same platform, but it says nothing of the ability of the RDX. It's a competent little vehicle, and KBB and Edmunds put a dealer sale price in the $28K range (no Tech package). I'd say the pricing is fair, but don't hesitate to negotiate a little more - it never hurts.

If I had to get an SUV and had the money for them, the RDX and MDX would top my list based on driving experience and resale. But I'm not sure what set of needs could possibly make the RDX a better choice to meet them than a Subaru.

well im leaving in an hour to go check it out Wish me LUCK

I agree that the RDX is a great little vehicle, as is the pricetag, just try nudging down a little more. On the other hand, I find the anti-american semitism coming from car consumers to be deplorable at best. Sure, they deserve their lack of trust. However, completely ruling out domestic cars without even trying just because its cool to hate american cars is no better than the Intel and AMD fanboyism that goes on in the CPU area. I found the Ford Edge and the Lincoln MKX (luxury Ford Edge) to be absolutely amazing vehicles, and simply wouldn't hesitate to purchase one had I not already spent the money on our Expedition

EDIT: I'll go on to say the Lincoln MKX's fuel economy is better, and uses an NA engine as opposed to a turboed engine, therefore reliability is most likely better. Additionally, you can run an MKX on low grade gas and get the same power, whereas the RDX is recommended only with premium.

Sure, your parents are free to get what they wish, that's the beauty of America. I just think that cutting out an entire hemisphere of vehicles simply because they are made by an American company depicts a certain level of ignorance on the part of buyer. If they chose to try American vehicles and still decided on an Acura that's certainly their decision. I suppose it's just a prick in my side considering domestic vehicle manufacturers are trying very hard to catch up but are partially hampered do to blind prejudice by such people as your parents.

Again, freedom to get as they wish.

i think the mdx is one of the best looking vehicles on the road right now. unfortunately, lots of people seem to think that...its probably also one of the most common vehicles on the road.

27k for an RDX with tech package?

The car was in an accident or has high mileage.

Edit: I saw the mileage.
Definitely accident. That car can be sold for 30k easily.
Buy it an make a profit. Just make sure you leave out the accident part

I would get the new Infiniti EX instead.

I doubt any Infiniti launch vehicle starts at a mere $26k new. He would have to wait a year or two for base model used ones to show up.
