Thanks to Pat, our Moderator in the G35 forum for tugging me in and letting me know you were looking for me.
The wife has taken ownership of the MDX and this occurred when I got my G35 back in April.
 
I was fighting quite a bit with Acura over this vibration, and they were trying to work with me, but making matters worse with every attempt.
They've scratched interior panels, screwed up wiring, ruined a cargo tie down and the list goes on.
 
When the wife took the MDX from me, she didn't continue the fight... didn't matter as much to her.
She still complains about it though.
 
My daughter watches a movie like The Little Mermaid and there are scenes that sound like the whole back of the truck is gonna fall apart.
 
Acura's final word when I last talked to them is "working as designed"
 
The "optional" sound system in the vehicle is an absolute joke and I hate it.
 
I wish I had a good answer for you, but the sub is awful, the system was poorly designed, and the service guys have no idea how to make it any better.
 
God, that's a bad answer, huh?

Thanks for responding, well I guess I'll have to put up with it. Any chance of disconnecting it all together? Without any bass the stereo would probably sound like a transistor radio.

I thought of that too.
Without that sub, it sounds pathetic.

2004 MDX Touring price by ckalola

hello. i'm in the market for a 2004 MDX touring. i've found 1 in my area that is a white/beige touring model with dvd system and 38050 miles. it is acura certified and the dealer has listed is for 26995, but offered it via e-mail to me for 25200. my question is what would be a fair price for this car...i know it's difficult to answer w/o seeing it, but it is in very good cosmetic condition (no major scratches, dents, no carpet/leather stains). the carfax is clean with no reported accidents. the dealer did, however, state the left front fender was repainted at some point, but the fender is original (not replaced). what price-point would you suggest i aim for? thanks in advance for your help! also, if another forum would serve me better, please let me know.

Being an owner of an '04, I can say that you would be hard pressed to find a better vehicle. It has definitely been the best vehicle I have owned up to this point. KBB and edmunds list their CPO prices as 29,600 and 27,600 respectively. I would be wary of the painted fender. Can you tell if it was repainted? Just because a car has a clean "carfax" doesn't mean it was never in an accident.

it was repainted. a car wholesaler friend of mine came with me and he brought a paint metering device which showed him it was repainted; he (or i) couldn't tell by just looking at it. he got underneath and under the hood and assured me that the fender itself was the factory original...it had not been replaced (the factory stickers were still on it without the telltale red dot indicating it was factory metal); but, indeed, it was repainted. he concluded that since the metal was original, whatever reason it was repainted for probably didn't include a major collision. shall i use this as a bargaining chip? what do you think about the price he's offered me of 25200? thanks.

That seems like a very reasonable price for the vehicle and mileage. Did the dealer tell you the fender was painted? What does he have to say about this? Also, 38k miles the car may be due for tires all the way around if they haven't been replaced already.

Remote starter by upstatedoc

Has anyone installed a remote starter on their pre-07 MDX and if so which brand? When I bought the vehicle the dealer steered me away from installing one because it would interfere w/ the security system. However, now the '04 sits in the driveway because I don't have enough room in the garage. Damn it's getting cold out!

2005-06 MDX CPO by rjorge3

Hi gang, I need to replace my wife's truck in the next two months. We would like to get a 05/06 model. Have any of you purchased these model years recently, and if so, how much did you paid? Those who have already one, any problems? are you overall satisfied with the truck?
 
I also want to get the 7 years, 100,000 powertrain warranty, is that automatically included when you buy a CPO MDX or do I need to get a separate extended warranty.
 
Thanks a lot in advance for your responses.

p.s. Also, if you know of a good and reputable acura dealer in NJ or NYC metro area, please let me know. Thanks again

2005 MDX Touring Price Paid by badgerfan89

Just bought a black on black 2005 MDX Touring with both Navigation and RES with ~ 57k miles for ~ $24100. Other than the high miles, the vehicle is in excellent condition. It was a 1-owner trade-in that I believe the dealership just wanted to get rid of before the end of 2007. Was mostly focusing on '04's due to pricing, but couldn't pass it up because it was such a great deal (trade-in via edmunds TMV in excellent condition is ~ $25k). Wanted the silver exterior with black interior, but was willing to make a concession due to the great deal.
 
BTW, there is another one (2005 MDX touring with Nav, RES, and towing package - priced $23,995) with ~ 64k miles located in the Milwaukee, WI area. I found it the same time I found mine via Autotrader (this one is located at a place named Car King). Colors are burgandy exterior with tan interior. Using the provided pictures as reference, looks to be in really good condition. Here's the link:

Best of luck to you all in your searching!
