Joseph asks…
would you rather get a used Lincoln Navigator or a used Acura MDX, both either 2003-2005.?
i'm looking to buy a family car. both cost around the same price range, but i am leaning towards a Navigator more, just becuase it's been one of my top favorites for the past 5 years. but i keep hearing there might be a lot of things that may go wrong that i will have to fix a lot of compared to the MDX. I like the Navigator because it's bigger and looks more like an SUV, to me the MDX looks like a more compact minivan or a bigger wagon..but Acura's are nice i heard. Everyone i know who owns an Acura is satisfied and happy, but i don't know. will a Navigator break down that much...and isn't the milage about the same. Any thougts on both much appreciated. thank you.
admin answers:
I would get the MDX. Acuras are pretty reliable and the MDX probably gets better mileage than the Navigator. I also think the MDX is a lot safer and easier to park.
Richard asks…
If I buy a used Acura MDX in USA and import it to Canada, will the warranty be honored in Canada?
admin answers:
If it's a manufacturer's warranty, contact Acura and inquire. If it's a used car dealer warranty, ask them.
Good luck!

I'm buying a used Acura MDX 2004 for $12,000, how much addt'l should I expect to pay for taxes and fees in GA?
Around $1,000? Or Maybe $500?
admin answers:
$12,000 x 1.06 = 12,720 which means you have $720 in sales tax
1.06 represents Georgia's sales tax of 6%
John asks…
I just paid off all my debts, Is it smart to trade-in my audi for a used Acura MDX with monthly payments?
Monthly payment is around $250.00. I can afford it. It will make me happy.

Buy and drive whatever you please. But....I have been in various aspects of the car business for 20 years. I have one solid piece of advice I give to all my relatives and friends. NEVER trade in a car. Ever. Don't even let the dealer know you have a car. Don't let your vehicle becaome any part of the negotiation. And if you must finance, do your best to obtain financing somewhere else if at all possible. A credit union would be a favorite. A family member another.
Sell your Audi. Take the cash and use it as at least a partial payment on the other car. This may be inconvenient but will be well worth your trouble.
And many used car lots won't sell you a car for cash. Amazing as that sounds. They can make such a larger profit by proving you with "easy financing" a straightforward cash payment doesn't interest them. A trade in will figure largely in the loan numbers juggling act. Usually what it ends up being that you have pretty much given your trade in to the dealer for free. You about have to be an account and an expert on local wholesale/retail used car prices to figure this out though. You (and I) are not these kind of experts. You can bet the used car dealer is.
