Hi All:

___I uploaded a nice post in the AcuraMDX.org forum (used to be one active SOB over there too ;)) as shown at the following: For Sale: 2003 Taffeta White Acura MDX Touring w/ RES - Loaded - $24,900 (http://www.acuramdx.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=25652)

KBB Private Party - Good condition at 39,700 miles shows $26,940. I have about $2,500 of extra’s as shown in the FS post although we all know those are basically thrown away … Anyway, Autotrader numbers for the same vehicle with usually more miles is anywhere from $26 to $34 + K. Mannheim Auction numbers are down in the 19K range although those are mostly high mileage? No way would most give their car away at Mannheim Auction Prices … Local dealerships are running from $25K - $29 for a similarly equipped MDX not including the $1.5K RES option or accessories.

___With that, any other suggestions now that we have this slight < $3.00 per gallon reprieve? I should have gotten rid of it 6 months ago straight up for a brand new 06 HCH-II w/ NAVI as that is what was offered way back when … Either way, looking for suggestions as to where to go next. Autotrader or somewhere else? 30 day + post or something less? Local paper?

___I sold my Insight through IC as that is where the Insight enthusiasts hang out and that individual sure got a beauty as well as it went in about 3 weeks IIRC? I am thinking AcuraMDX.org for the same reason as it has even more membership and far more activity the most automotive sites on the net but I might want to increase my odds a bit ;)

___Good Luck and Thanks in advance for any and all replies/suggestions.

I used Autotrader to sell the Del Sol. It went in less than one week for more than I listed it for. I was pleasantly surprised by the Autotrader experience.

Good Luck!

Hi Dan:

___Thanks for your experience as it sounded like a good one!!! Anything else I can do to dress up the ad a bit? I fixed the link above as FS - came out as a Glossary item for Fake Shift instead of For Sale - … ;) Terry was talking CarMax and they don’t have a TCH like the wife wants in inventory practically anywhere in the country let alone Kenosha, Wisconsin which just down the street from me :(

___Good Luck

___Wayne
