Don't. Get a low mileage 2009 instead.

Check out this thread and Post #2. It has a list of potential issues for the entire 07-13 2nd Gen MDX. I was very lucky with my 11 MDX Adv+Ent with very few out pocket issues and my oil consumption was limited to 1.5 qts per 9000 mile oil change interval. I just sold my 11 MDX with +155,000 miles earlier this year to my nephew for $11,000. I did have issues with both front/rear magnetic strut/shock needing to replaced (under warranty), both front seat heaters replaced (under warranty), replaced Drv 1 key fob because of low range (warranty), stuck 2nd row cup holder replaced (warranty).
I would download the owner's manual for the MDX to become familiar with the tech and features. Some owner's replace the magnetic struts/shocks with regular and disable the warning. You should feel a big difference between Comfort or Sport ADS mode over low speed bumps and curves if the system is still active. It can cost $500-$700 per corner to replace the magnetic struts/shocks at a minimal IF you can find the OEM parts.

2013 vs 2007 MDX
As a previous owner of a 2005 MDX, I am fairly familiar with the first generation models. They are great driving cars. So are the 2nd generation units. I need some advice on my next purchase of either a 2007 MDX or a 2013 model The 2007 has 158,000 miles. The car fax shows 44 service records...
