I'd have it (or any car I planned on buying) checked out by a mechanic I trust. It might cost you $30 or $40 but is well worth it. Also run a carfax on it to make sure the title is clean and it doesn't have a bad history.The MDX has a pretty good reputation, but you should always have a car checked out first.Also you need to negotiate that price. In this economy I'd bet you can get at least 10% off. Can't hurt to try. Car dealers (even the luxury imports) are dying to sell cars.
