schemeplan past the wife (sell RDX, pay off rest of equity loan used to finance college, lease new for her, have monthly payments go way down, and put difference into a savings account to pay for car at end of lease). She was, well, less than receptive. Does not really want a lease (though I explained it would be a lease to buy). Plus, she figured if y'all people supported it, must be a bad plan!next step, start stopping at a few dealers when we happen to be out and about, just to scope out options on the short list.

I may try and get out to Bellevue and drive one again, but the idea of needing to go to the dealership closest to me for service or warranty issues is downright bothersome.

But if the TLX turned out to be better for you after another test drive, then imho driving to Bellevue a couple of times a year even for service seems like it would be worth it. My TLX is so fun for me to drive that honestly I think up excuses to drive more, and plan road trips I wouldn't have otherwise.
PS Since you own a BMW, I think that might qualify you for the additional $1250 loyalty/conquest lease incentive on the TLX V-6. Combined with the already existing lease incentive from Acura that's a big $10k off to start, plus you might be able to get another c. $3k or so off of msrp. And so with $13k off of the original msrp I think the price difference with the Accord 2.0 Sport is only maybe c. $4k or so?
but when I had my (defective) battery go bad 2 months later, they were the closest dealer to take it in to. Service experience, night and day. They were phenomenal. I use the other local dealer (a little further away) for the RDX but plan to take the TLX back to this place since they already have it on file, and it is a little more convenient.

mostly it was a scheme to see if I could get the wife to bite! And was nice to know the RDX was seriously holding its resale value.

that purchase means they plan to sell it for 18k. It's nice and miles are good, but still, seems high to me.

It's time. Start shopping... If you want a Volvo I know most of the tri state dealers on a first name basis right now.

Plus of course, there is the concept of keeping it around as the 2nd car after my lease goes away.
it would be nice of course if I got the quote because it was actually the right time to be making a move and it was going anyway!

Those are words of advice, right there.

a more cost effective option would be to split the difference, and get something like the Q5 that (SDA?) just bought, a 2016. Still a nice upgrade, and would tide her over for 2 years, then when the TLX goes back I just inherit that instead, but get something fancier than a 10 YO RDX. If I could find the right option, that plan, could have legs. Might need a couple drinks over dinner before springing that one on her.

Carvana makes it way too easy. they already have the trade info, and my documents from the last time. A couple of clicks and about 5 minutes later, just have to wait for the truck to show up with it!

It is really nice when they hold value like that.
You'd be shocked at some of the features that aren't standard.

Given I still like the SUV body style, perhaps something like this could be a suitable replacement?

If it were an actual contender, so much the better. I was thinking about test driving a Tesla...

Should stick with an X3. I know my wife won’t complain about that. She just hates Audi’s and VWs.

Also someone asked if I was stuck on a stick - the answer is no, but I do think it will make it more likely I'll hang onto the car longer than if I don't. Plus, I think my window for buying a new car with a stick is dwindling rapidly.
