The verdict
The 2021 Acura RDX FWD with Advance Package is listed at $31,195 with 39,145 miles. The Caboose score is 8.4 out of 10, built from three things: how far below market the price sits, how much of the 200,000-mile target is still ahead of the odometer, and how often this model reaches 250,000 miles in the iSeeCars study (6.7% of Acura RDXs do).
The asking price is $905 (2.8%) under the CarGurus expected price of $32,100, which is a real discount rather than a rounding gap. That puts it in the top group of cars on this site, so it is worth a same-week inspection before someone else books one.
