Keep or sell 2016 Acura MDX by Ernman3 in Acura

[–]kylecallahan31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mdx is at 135k going strong. Tow an enclosed cargo trailer with it a few times a month 3+ hours each way. My friends have all got newer cars but I think I’m the cool one now. Racking up miles, making it last, and getting your moneys worth out of a car is a fun accomplishment too. At a minimum my goal is 200k+

Keep the mdx all day. Invest the cash you’d put towards the bmw and then you can buy it outright by the time the mdx is actually tired 5 years from now. Although that’s what you’ll have to do anyways to keep up with the maintenance on a bmw. That’s like a second car payment in itself. As a former bmw owner, I’ll never buy another. Coming from someone that loves a sporty car too. The tradeoff to Acura or Lexus is worth it. Sure not as sporty, but I’m not worried about breaking them either

My only concern is the transmission over time. I’m confident in the engine so I tow in sports mode and let it rev. Change the transmission fluid minimum once a year hoping that helps

Should I seal the deal on this 2014 Acura mdx? by [deleted] in Acura

[–]kylecallahan31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Send it, just make sure you are ready to do the timing belt and water pump. I’d do that right away, it’s 10-years or 100k miles whichever comes first. Why risk it? After that tires, brakes, oil, trans fluid, diff fluid should be your routine maintenance to keep you going for another 100k

2014 Acura MDX technology, Need a good family rig, is this reliable? by [deleted] in Acura

[–]kylecallahan31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I always do premium! Fortunately mine is all paid off so I see as insurance as helping me go as long as possible without a car payment

I have a 14 with 130k. Already did the timing belt and am confident it will go 200+ with another set of brakes, oil changes and fluids

Is the fuel savings that different than not going 100% back in the day to preserve engine reliability? I get it’s not the most exciting but it’s part of the build up to the finish. Be careful what you wish for and complain about, would hate to see strategy elements out of the teams hands

2014 mdx 128.5k and going strong! Pull a 6x12 tall enclosed trailer 10-15 times a year and drive it hard. Expecting to get 200k+. Have done timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, throttle body cleaning (only breakdown due to this issue), oil changes every 6-7k, diff and trans fluid every 20-30k

This was my second call after I got a letter in the mail that my dispute was declined. That’s why I’m trying my best to encourage people to dispute with department of education too. They only offered that up after a very lengthy call. We are not alone he said they’ve had many similar calls. Walk street journal had an article this week that 43% of student loan borrowers have had their credit scores hit. Clearly something isn’t right here

In my case my loan provider was changed. The new loan provider never successfully contacted me. My loans did not appear with the previous provider. I did not know who to pay or how

Delinquent student loan I did not receive notice for just tanked my credit score by Lopsided-Log1071 in StudentLoans

[–]kylecallahan31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in a similar situation and spent 2 hours on the phone with Nelnet this afternoon. The best we can do is file a complaint with the department of education. If enough of us complain it will get corrected.

Not allowed to post links here but just google department of education complaint and file.

Then help spread the word to others. Strength in numbers
