True and super handling all wheel drive sorry for the mistake

maddman:
The 2015 mdx came with the durable 6 speed. 2016/17 was when they introduced the 9 speed and the reviews for the first few years weren't great.

It's a very reliable car speaking from experience

You didn't understand what I said, I mean in Nigeria Toyota and Lexus cars have better resale value because of demand and herd mentality I didn't say they got stronger engines

Yes Honda got stronger engines than Toyota, honda even produces motorcycle and airplane engines

YorubaPrince:
I agree and as well disagree with this. This is a wrong perception among ignorant Nigerians. Honda / Acura have way better engine than Toyota / Lexus. Ask the Northerners...

Electrical gremlins, weak/crappy CVT transmission, electronic steering column lock failure, camshaft and crankshaft position sensor problems, when you combine all these with the Nigerian mechanic factor then you'll have an ideal recipe for disaster

You are better off buying a 2010-2012 honda accord EX (190 horse power and 5 speed automatic transmission) or camry muscle/spider XLE from 2010 with 2AR 2.5 engine that produces 169 horsepower (179 in the SE) and got a nice 6 speed automatic transmission because 2009 and below came with 5 speed automatic transmission and a 2.4 engine that produces 159 horsepower and got oil burning issues if you don't want something common you can go for a 2010-2011 Acura TSX with 2.4 4 cylinder engine (201 horsepower) it is reliable and strong but doesn't tolerate abuse

MyDnis:
Why is this car cheap? What are the red flags or common problem?if u own one,what are the best way to care for it. It drives great n has great handling, but not too visible like others. Any suggestions ?

The 2015 Acura MDX is fundamentally a great and reliable car, but doesn't tolerate abuse Its 6-speed automatic transmission and intricate push-button gear system require specialized diagnostic scanners and requires original specific oil not abro and seahorse, avoid roadside mechanics they'll ruin it for you, If a general mechanic messes with its network or sensors, it can permanently ground the car

Now you asked about it's second hand value, in Nigeria Toyota and Lexus got better second hand value than other brands like Honda, Acura, Nissan, infiniti ETC, so if you want to sell it later people will bargain at a price more lower than it's Lexus rival (RX350), Acuras don't have strong resale value like Toyota and Lexus

But not everyone cares about second hand value, some car buyers like me buy cars because of what they enjoy from it rather than second hand value, I prioritize driving enjoyment, modern comfort, and personal satisfaction over how much money i make when selling the car down the line. A vehicle is an intimate space where you spend hours every week, so buying a car that makes you feel good is a perfectly valid investment in your quality of life, if a car makes you smile anytime you are in it, disposing it would be difficult

amtheone:
Thank you. Does it have a good second hand value?

That car is fragile and the 2.0 turbo charged engine is not reliable and has flaws like piston/engine block cracking, if you love the styling of this generation i strongly advise saving up for a 2018 or newer facelift model. By 2018, Mercedes completely ironed out the wrist pin failures, upgraded the interior electronics, and substantially improved the build quality

Rokdailydrive:
If you’re looking for a Mercedes-Benz to buy in Nigeria, the C300 W205 is one model I highly recommend. It offers a great balance of luxury, performance, comfort and everyday usability.

But owning one comes with responsibility. Avoid flood water, aggressive acceleration and unnecessary kickdowns, and always use a competent mechanic who understands Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

Regular servicing and proper maintenance can make a huge difference in your ownership experience.

Buy the right one. Maintain it properly. Enjoy the drive.

[color=#006600][/color]The actual, official company Auction Export is a legitimate, registered Canadian corporation that helps international buyers source and ship vehicles from North American salvage and clean-title auto auctions. They are not a fake "ghost" website. However, they are heavily targeted by online fraudsters. Scammers frequently clone their website, use similar domain names, or impersonate their agents on social media to steal money from buyers.
The real Auction Export is an international business based in Canada. They primarily require payments via USD bank wires or verified international credit cards. Be highly suspicious if an agent gives you a personal or localized Nigerian bank account to pay in Naira, as this is a classic tactic used by local scammers

zenburster:
How genuine is that Auction Export website?

They claim you can pay in Naira and get your car shipped to you in Lagos.

The car dealers aren't even satisfied with 20% gain, these people are doing 100% gain, so I need alternatives.

I just want to be sure I am not losing money to a yahoo boy who has created a fake website.

Please help
