Nope my car has 265 HP with AWD. Dash board doesn't look too bad either to be honest. Interior looks pretty nice and clean with only 2 screens and not many buttons. Seats are great and comfortable, no complaints from anyone. Does your car have or support a double din radio? Especially one that has apple car play? Apple car play alone is one of the best things ever created, you should try it...oh wait 2nd gen doesn't support double dins! And I would say the difference in size is a bit noticeable. The reason why my dad didn't buy the MDX is because they made it smaller than the 1st gen. Also the 05 and 06 don't really have the transmission issue, its the 01-03 that have em, not that I'm saying mine can't get it, but that doesn't mean your 2nd gen isn't immune to it also, any car can have a transmission problem at any given time. I know that the '10-'13 have oil consumption issues, but that doesn't mean 100% the one I'm getting will have that problem, it's a risk I am willing to take if the price is right.
If you go on craigslist by me, the 2nd gens have about 50k more miles than my 1st gen and its only 2 years newer than my car, that's almost double the mileage I have. Either way I don't have to justify the price to you. Nadaguides values my car a little under 8 grand and cargurus says I am only asking $160 above market value. Given the condition of my car and the low mileage with what its equipped, I know my cars worth and if I'm patient enough, someone will buy it
. Thanks for the input though, appreciate it
