2022 Acura MDX w/ positive equity

Hi guys, looking for some advice.
I have a 2022 MDX coming due and have some nice positive equity and I would love to keep some of it if possible. Payoff is about $31,300 and all offers from the usual online services are coming in at $34,500-$35,000. Lease is via Acura Financial. Car is A+ with only 25k miles.

I am currently trying to get into an Infiniti QX60.

Is there such a thing as shopping my car around to local Acura dealers to see who would pay the most if I return the car to them eventhough I am not planning to get another Acura? I understand there is no real incentive to them to pay anything but I assume whichever dealer gets this car will be very happy as it is in excellent condition, etc.

Located in Miami

Any advice?

Thanks

Any Honda or Acura dealer can buy the car off and cut you a check. Same goes for AutoNation as they have Honda/acura dealers, as well as any dealer who what’s a Honda/acura under their umbrella.

Out of curiosity, did you like the car? What is making you go to the Infiniti Versus another MDX? I’m currently in a Cayenne, but with two kids looking for a three row SUV and have been eyeing the new MDX.

Check out the pilot’s. My inlaws have one trailsport edition its really big inside

Car was fine. Assume it would feel like a huge downgrade after a Cayenne.
My wife just wanted a change and Acuras are rather expensive to lease. QX60 has an OK price point now specially with the MSD so opting for the cheaper route. MDX is a V6. QX60 2025 is a V4 so it should be interesting.

Thanks, good info. I was looking at the Aspec Adv, or type S. Yeah that’s the “dilemma” im in. Don’t want to overpay but want a nice three row that is sporty and has good space. I also like the optionality of making captains chairs in the MDX vs like the Q7 where you can’t.

Dont even want to know what the payment will be like in the A-Spec. Pretty sure it wont be pretty

If they think they can profit, they’ll pay you. Plus there’s no guarantee that the lease return will be returned to them.

Take an offer from Autonation or a dealer and play them off each other.

Type S over Q7 all day long
