Not that I don't believe him, but I'm gonna take the unit apart myself, see what lies beneath. He said I could get a lamp for $35, but it's noted as a backup light. If indeed it's replace the whole unit, I think I've gotten to the point now of committing $ (next service in December is 6 year service, some wear items to replace, so likely $$$) to keep the XF or time for something newer and shinier.
Honestly, it would be tough to say adios to the cat, just everything about it makes me smile.
Wonder what the next Costco auto bargain will be?

was out today with her and the daughter, discussing color options on the RDX. so there is that. Though she did preface it with happening in 2 years, so color options could be different. We all do like the red in the RDX.

I won’t bore you with all the details I gave Friday, but as a reminder this was a 2015 with 36k miles - premium plus with tech package. Black over brown.
Car drove beautifully - even in regular drive mode the steering was tight and responsive, the suspension appropriately sporty without being punishing, and the transmission did a great job of keeping the car in the meat of its power band. As @sda mentioned, it will upshift for gas mileage, but I found that a moderate blip of the throttle and it downshifted easily. It was definitely more sluggish than say my GTI, but the AWD helped the handling immensely.
The B and O stereo is excellent, seats were supportive, and the interior just very upscale. This particular car was clearly well cared for, inside and out. No rattles, creaks or anything - I could be convinced it had half the mileage.
CarMax was asking $24,9 which isn’t cheap for a 2015. But what makes it worthwhile is that a 5 year B2B warranty extension out to 80k miles or so was only ~$2200. That’s half what the Audi dealer quoted me for a similar extension on a CPO car. That is the value proposition on a used ride like this.
Had I not had 4 more payments and a $350 dispo in front of me ($1500) I would have bought it, no question.

Their was a Bullitt at the local Acura dealer. My bride was underwhelmed, and I still think it is too big for my tastes(Jeep is the only domestic brand she actually likes). I'd go with a 370Z if the telematics weren't so ancient; I still like the car- I just don't know if I could live with it long term. I found a private seller offering an almost new RWD M240i I'd pick it up if it wasn't the same color as my M235i- it's a manual with sunroof delete and virtually every other option. Best of all, it already has the M Performance Differential, exhaust, and aerodynamics installed.

Your experience was like mine with Volvo. Once I drove it I just “knew”
Today I drove it with AC off and windows open. It has a faint supercharger whine when you get on it a little... love that.

PS For anyone else who has AndroidAuto the new version is even better imho. For me it took a "forced update" for some reason to try it, but it's free and very good. Here's a 4-minute video from a guy who likes it too. He has an aftermarket unit for AndroidAuto, but I like it just built into the car.

AndroidAuto navigation: "A-"
Built-in navigation: "C-"
The built-in navigation is so cumbersome and awkward to use that really it seems more like a D to me. I only use it if I've forgotten my phone. But I used built-in navi a lot on my 2008 Accord, and it is available as a back-up in my 2018 TLX.
