Hello, I put down 500$ to hold a silver 2002 MDX from a local Acura dealer, it's due in some time in August. I have a few questions.
Should I wait for the 2003 due out sometime in Oct.?
I've been reviewing all of the TSB's for the MDX, can I assume that these "issues" have been addressed & corrected for the 2002 model? If not, should I bring these "issues" to the dealers attention prior to accepting delievery?(which 2002 issues still exist from the 2001 model line?)
What features will the 2003 version have that the 2002 dose not have?
Is it acceptable to purchase some of the upgrades from sources other than the dealer and have the dealer install my purchased parts (wheel well flares, rear wind deflector, side steps etc.) It seems that many of you in this forum did just that and saved some $.
Will undercoating the MDX void warrenty? I'm from the Northeast (upstate NY) and I'm concerned about salt/corrosion. Isn't there a 5 year rust thru warrenty? Is it applicable to the underside of the car? Also, the undercoating provides sound deadening. Would this be a waste of time/$ ?
Thats about it for now. I'm sorry I didn't do a full search of this forum for the answers I seek but I'll do so next time!
Thanks!
