MuscleCarGuy: Hi Jay. Welcome to AutoBragBlog, where we do all the car price researching for you.

For a 2008 Acura MDX Technology with 7,500 miles, prices range from $32,500 (being in above average condition) to $30,500 (being in average condition) and $28,400 (being in below average condition).

Are you tradeing in your car or private selling? If you trade in your MDX you should expect to get the wholesale value for it. If you private sell your car you should be able to get about 5%-10% more from what the dealers will offer you on the trade in.

Question From Sai: I am looking to purchase a used 2007 MDX with Navigation and DVD with about 25, 000 miles on it. How much do you think I should be spending? Even though the truck market is sluggish, it seems like the 2007 MDX is a “hot” commodity on the used market according to what I am seeing on ebaymotors, cars.com and autotrader. Let me know your thoughts.

On a side note, I am looking to sell my green 2002 Audi A4 3.0 Quattro Auto with 115K on it. The car is in fairly good condition but needs 4 new tires and a timing belt change which I skipped at 110K. No major accident. Dealer maintained. Everything works. I commute 100 miles daily which explains the high miles. What do you think I will get for it private party?

With gasoline prices hitting record highs almost daily, you might be wondering if you can get away with filling up your expensive car with regular instead of the expensive premium gas your manufacturer recommends. The answer: Regular’s fine in most cases, but it’s best to check your owner’s manual.

There are three basic provisos for gasoline usage in owner’s manuals: when only regular gas is required, when premium is “recommended” and when premium gas is “required.” Only in the third instance will deviating from the manufacturer’s requirements potentially harm your car.

If premium gas is required, those cars are designed to run only on premium and could possibly be damaged if you use regular over a prolonged period. Cars that require premium gas are typically made by luxury brands like BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, VW and Audi, and some Acuras are also on that list.

Another effective way to save on gas is to drive like your grandmother. That means gentle acceleration, gradual braking and avoiding hard stops. Accelerating too quickly can mean you have to brake harder and that can waste gas.
