Any X5 owners have thoughts on the 2014 Acura MDX.

Last year I replaced the Water Pump, AC Condenser, Brake Rotors/Pads and tires on my wife's X. ~$4k.

Now, I need to change the Valve Cover Gasket, Oil Filter Gasket and probably VANOS Solenoids and possibly one of the air springs in the back and maybe an Evaporator.

2007 X5 3.0 65k miles. Carmax is giving me $16k for the car.

I'm just tired of spending the money on non-maint stuff that shouldn't fail this early. BTW, this will be a first non-BMW is 15yrs... although it brings me back to the my Acura Integra days.
