My favorite Asian car brand is the Acura brand. When it comes to car luxury and design beauty- its ACURA.
The MDX is a very excellent SUV to ride in. Smart on movements, good fuel economy, great dashboard display and buttons to play with.
Its a very interesting car to be in just like its family members - the RL and TL.

If you have the money, go for it.

NOTE: Make sure when your technician is servicing the car YOU buy the right transmission oil for it. once you do that, your transmission will live longer than myth-ed outside.

My brother, you need to really UNDERSTAND what goes in in the car business in America/canada/europe and the tricks car dealers play with insurance and vice-versa before you just make conclusive posts. If you are REALLY in the business of buying & importing cars from the states/canada/europe YOURSELF you'd be conversant with these tricks they use to make money of insurance.
A car labeled salvaged [/b]may just be a[b] clean title with JUST a broken side mirrors. That broken glass reduces the cost drastically for the importer/buyer, now tell me the any car which its side-mirrors cost 75% of the cars worth, name one, even any bike/power-bike.

Read B_FIREs posts above so you can understand more.

Faithnn:
@viperautors, Hope you know this is a 2003 not 2006 model.From 2004 model and above carry 3 seater head rest at the back sit.If u want to disproove this statement, show clearly the pics of the back seat to nairaland users to see. Let us not b/cos of money will tell lies, many people who come to nairaland are automobile specialists.Just disproove this fact if you are sincere human being.

So you think because of mere 1m plus I would label this a 2006 model if its not? You insult me, and I'm crossed.
I would have said you're a very stupid person for that statement, but I will just hold my peace and allow others e.g Benez etc to tutor you on this since you've decided to show your ignorance to the whole world wide web.



@Jothan,
Sorry man, Its been sold today.

Hi All,

Well, to contribute.  CLEAN TITLE cars are best when you know why the former owner is selling. The trick here is REALLY KNOWING WHY THE FORMER OWNER IS SELLING a clean titled car.
1. Could be for an upgrade
2. For financial strain issues
3. The car has a fault(matured or maturing fault)

Now, of the three reasons above you can never be sure of which is causing the sale of the vehicle, you can only rely on what you are told. Most times, some maturing faults would not be detected by the dealer/importer importing the vehicle from the USA/Canada/europe/asia as most buy from auctions, online bids or individuals who don't give the buyer enough time to inspect the vehicle properly before purchase. This puts the end user at a very bad position as you're buying a car that that you can ONLY HOPE has no hidden maturing faults, and is as CLEAN as its TITLE/CARFAX/AUTOCHECK records tell you.
I can confidently tell you that I've witnessed cases where customers bought and shipped in clean title cars from the USA themselves, and less than 1 month the engine knocked, some had electrical faults that were not recorded in the USA, and as such became a thorn[i]( its not a funny experience at all )[/i]
Like earlier stated, the trick in buying a CLEAN TITLED car is in being sure it has no electrical or mechanical maturing fault which prompted its sale. If you scale that, then you must be ready to pay PREMIUM for such a perfect vehicle.
For instance, you see some buyers calling/writing some dealers on here and asking them for e.g. a 2005 Honda accord EX FULL OPTIONS!!! and insisting they have 1.4M naira. How do you expect that to happen?
CLEAN TITLED cars come at a premium.

Now, lets move to the SALVAGED zone:

The term SALVAGE has been basterdized in this forum section a lot over the few years by, most especially, the ignorant(Yes! ignorant) individuals who know next to nothing about cars, and how they work.
A SALVAGE vehicle means a vehicle that was accidented and was restored/fixed back to driveable state. The TRICK now is knowing the extent of the damage that was fixed. As the extent of damage should inform you if its still worth a buy or not.

If the damage is a Side fender, door accident or boot accident which the part can be removed and just REPLACED WITH A NEW PART then its good enough as a CLEAN TITLE, and you get to buy it at a lesser price than its clean title counter-part. The most important part of a car is the chasis/frame; once an accident doesn't affect the chasis/frame, EVERY-OTHER PART OF THE CAR CAN BE REPLACED WITH NEW PARTS AND WILL RUN PERFECTLY, I SAY EVERY & ANY OTHER-THING, ASK PEOPLE WHO MODIFY/love-vendor CARS e.g Nairalands Sienna etc Once an accident affects the frame of a car, DO NOT TOUCH IT WITH A 100foot pole, INFACT, DO NO TOUCH WITH EVEN YOUR MIND/THOUGHT 

One other reason why some customers I've met prefer minor salvage cars(strangely) to clean title cars is because of the issue I've explained above: With a clean title car, buyers are never sure why the owner is selling; but with a salvage car you're quite sure the owner is selling because of the accident they had. Now, that a car is salvaged doesn't mean it would be sold like biscuit, GETTING NEW PARTS FOR FIXING COSTS MONEY YOU KNOW? 
Funny enough, some minor salvaged cars, after fixing, come out better than their clean title counterparts as their old worn-out parts would have been replaced with new ones having a new longer life-span.

In conclusion, buy wisely, if you want a CLEAN TITLE be ready for any eventualities, and don't blame the dealer for any hidden/maturing fault that comes up after purchase because, they MIGHT not be aware of it. Also be ready to pay for the value you are getting as they are more expensive than their salvaged counter-parts. Good things don't come cheap, So don't call a dealer telling him "My colleague/cousin/neighbor just bought one for blahblahblah price why is your own so expensive. 

As for salvage vehicles, if its salvaged properly, its worth the buy as I've stated above. So go yourself or have someone inspect it for you physically before purchase. Same goes for even clean titles, when buying a car, inspect it physically or have someone do it for you before you purchase.

I have attached below(PICTURE 1)  some minor accidents, that is a minor damage - GOOD BUY
picture 2 shows a nasty fender accident that has affected the chasis - NOT A GOOD BUY

Hi Jothan,

That's the only minor repair needed and its been fixed since lastweek. We [b]wont [/b]be selling for anything close to 1.020.

You were to call me. If i keep calling everyone that calls us for cars or that comes for inspection everyday don't you think we will go bankrupt? 
People who are serious to buy cars, once inspected, make payments and pick up their cars or have us deliver it to their destination at a little additional delivery cost. its pretty straight forward like that

Its highly irritating when some of you just type whatever you feel like on dealers SALE threads just to show YOU KNOW whereas you don't!
RESEARCH & READ BEFORE you post on peoples thread so you don't appear ignorant.

Now, here's a study for you:

You can also type "2008 honda city" into google to do more research.
