Why?
If you had the work done by a properly trained repair facility (which you probably did) the vehicle should still be capable of being an "Acura Certified Used Car".
Unless I am mistaken the certification process should not be affected by properly performed repairs.
I assume the "don't feel the same" aspect is YOUR feeling, not any measurable difference.
Would REALLY need to tell the dealer (or any other potential buyer) about the repair? I am not suggesting "dishonesty", after all if the dealer does a super thorough inspection of the undercarriage they MIGHT discover the repair on their own, but if safety & perfromance are unaffected ( as they should be after proper repair) why would this affect resale???
Would I ( or any other potential buyer) pay just as much for an "undamaged" used MDX as for yours? Of course. I suspect the dealer(s) arte simply being "overly pessimestic" so that they could increase their profit, as they KNOW a low milage used MDX would fetch a princely sum...
