We were about the buy the used 07-09 MDX but the price cost way too much. My fiance pick this one as the second choice.

I agree^^^
The fx35 although i love the styling and am not to thrilled about the cargo space. I was gonna get a fx also but got a cx9 instead. It has 3rd row and ample cargo space. However is you dont have that much to lug around then i would go for the fx.

The 07 MDX can be had for $27K-$29K with mileage like you've listed. To me, it's a lot more vehicle for the money.

I was on one of the MDX forum and they wouldn't recommend buying 2007 MDX due to first year of production. I don't know if that was totally true or not. The car I'm getting 2006 FX for only $21k.

It's more about style than utility.

I had one for 2 years and loved it. No problems, great looking, drives well, handles nicely, enough power, great interior. Cargo space wasn't a priority for me. It's got a bit of it with the seats down but not much, and the roof angle makes it less usable. But other than that it's a terrific carlike SUV.

No personal experience except I have a friend with one that he bought new which is pushing 160K. Nothing other than tires, gas, oil, and brakes

Look for engine noises, especially valve ticking and try to get one that is optioned out or else you'll regret it... I see you're getting a RWD one but just make sure it has the sport package which have the 20" rims instead of the 18" inchers... Also the Sport package RWD was the best handling car because of its lack of weight and also a standard sway bar in the back!

If you can... get the belts changed, tires replaced and brakes and rotors checked and changed. Those are pricey items... The transmission could use a service which I'd get Nissan fluid and filter for. These are the big ticket items along with a clean carfax and a warranty to match. The rest is all routine maintenance, also try to get a service history if the car has one available!

Good luck and pop me a message and I'll try to help you out as much as I can!
