If there is a need to use third row on regular basis I would not recommend MDX. I would look at Highlander or a Minivan.   However you cannot beat the drive of MDX.

I would never purchase this for daily use with small kids. I have a GMC Acadia and I love it -- it has so much more room than the MDX and even the cargo room is much more spacious. The 3rd row is much easier to access as well.

It seems like a lot for an 04 but I don't know if it's a limited or what options it has or how good or bad of shape it is in. Give the member Volvomax all the details, mileage, accidents, etc and he'll give you a realistic value. Once you get a realistic number, you may be able to negotiate a better buy price with Toyota, as these have dropped quite a bit in value. ( I got $14,000 for my 05 MDX with 54,000 miles, new tires in pretty good shape). I honestly don't know if Toyota will work with you on the buy price though, but it's worth a shot.   I had an 05 MDX and had the torque converter replaced at 49000 miles under warranty. I just traded it on an 08 MDX and the new one in my opinion is much nicer.   Also, I believe that Acura recommends (not requires) premium in the MDX, but it will do OK with lesser grades (unless the motor pings or knocks- then you need to use a higher grade) - we used regular on the 05 and also on the 08 with no problems. You do get less horsepower with the lower grades, but 300 horsepower is more that we really need. The acura place that we bought our MDX from only puts in mid grade fuel.   Hope that helps, Mark
