The Acura MDX offers an outstanding V6 powertrain, sevenpassenger seating and a standard fourwheeldrive system that prevents skids almost before they happen. Neat styling, attention to detail, excellent crash protection and competitive pricing increase the appeal of this luxury SUV. Introduced in 2001, MDX was named North American Truck of the Year by a panel of 50 independent automotive journalists. Through the four model years since, the MDX has been steadily improved in all areas. The body has grown more rigid, allowing better vibration control and a smoother ride. Power has increased, and a more compact fivespeed automatic transmission shifts even more smoothly than before. MDX's standard VTM4 fourwheel drive system has been remapped to work seamlessly with a new Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system to improve handling on slippery surfaces and to enhance stability in all conditions. Acura has updated the optional navigation system and added a rearview camera that engages when the transmission is in reverse. A DVD entertainment system with wireless infrared headphones is now available. For 2004, MDX gets another round of updates. This is what the auto industry calls a midcycle revision, and the improvements are as extensive as any undertaken so far. Horsepower and torque increase, thanks to a new dualexhaust system. The 2004 MDX sports new front and rearend styling, redesigned alloy wheels, a new Side Curtain Airbag system that helps to protect occupants in all three rows, and interior upgrades that include enhanced interior lighting with ambient footlights and entry illumination. In short, the attributes that earned MDX awards remain and have been refined. This socalled luxury SUV remains one of the best values in the class.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2004 Acura MDX, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2004 Acura MDX for less money than when it was new. If the 2004 Acura MDX was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2004 Acura MDX is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2004 Acura MDX will have a very good resale value. This assumes that the 2004 Acura MDX is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
