I love it! Great technology pack, good mileage for the age, drives smooth. I am still learning the features and I didn’t do a KBB value because I was not thinking just rushing because I wanted it.Aug 04, 2021

Very easy to maintain and overall ownership cost is low but the usage cost is very high due to the fuel economy. Very good look compared with his it's 3rd competitors but having very limited options when comes to interiors. Mar 09, 2015

Legal car condition to drive
I got an acura that got its front bumper scratched pretty bad. The right corner doesn't connect with the car light anymore and is sticking out/down a little, there's a tiny rip on the bumper as well. I tried driving it back home before and it worked fine (only the bumper got damaged) but is this condition of car legal to drive on the street?

Why is my vehicle shown as overpriced when my Carfax report shows my vehicle valued at hundreds more than I am asking?
My Carfax says my 2012 Acura MDX in the condition my car is in with the low mileage the vehicle has with a value of $16,260, yet Cargurus shows my car as way overpriced in my listing. What is up with this discrepancy that works against me? I do not appreciate nor agree with your favor of dealerships over personal sales. The listing should be about the actual value of the car! Please fix this issue. Can you fix this discrepancy in my listing? What can you say about that? Regards Wayne
