Icon2 About to buy an RDX

Hi everyone,

I am in the market for a used RDX preferbly a 2008 + with less than 70,000 Km

I have found a couple in my price range of 17000$ and am intrested in them.

I know that this car has a turbo engine and turbo engines give more problems than N/A

Is there anything i should be looking out for when buying, or is this even a goof car?

If you guys have any idea as to what other small suv i can buy which is comperable to the RDX in the same price range please let me know.

Thank you in advance.

The RDX forum at www.acurazine.com is the best online RDX community that I have found.

Alot of people say the RDX is not for everybody. It gets bad gas mileage, some people are annoyed with the tubo lag, and it does not have the smoothest ride.

However, it is fast for what it is and there are very very few people online that I have seen report any problems with them. In fact I have yet to find anyone with an engine/transimission/driveline problem. Also, they have terrible resale value so they are a great deal to buy used.

I would say test drive one and see if you like it.
