Deciding between these two:
2023 Acura MDX SH-AWD
49,455 miles
3.5L V6
AWD
7 seats
19 city / 25 highway
2022 Genesis G70 2.0T AWD
18,000 miles
$30,000
2.0T turbo 4-cylinder
AWD
Not CPO
Main priorities: reliability, maintenance cost, resale value, gas mileage, and long-term ownership.
I know they’re very different — SUV vs sport sedan — but which one would you buy and why? Any known issues or things to check before buying

I’m deciding between two used cars and would like advice from owners/mechanics.
Option 1: 2023 Acura MDX SH-AWD
49,455 miles
3.5L V6
SH-AWD
Automatic
7 seats
White exterior / tan interior
Fuel economy: 19 city / 25 highway
VIN: 5J8YE1H39PL041598
Option 2: 2022 Genesis G70 2.0T AWD
18,000 miles
$30,000
Not CPO
2.0T turbo 4-cylinder
AWD
Lower miles, but older and smaller sedan
My main priorities are:
Long-term reliability
Lower maintenance/repair costs
Overall ownership experience
Resale value
Gas mileage
Engine/transmission durability
I know these are very different vehicles — a 3-row SUV vs a sport sedan — but I’m mostly trying to figure out which one is the smarter long-term buy.

Which one would you buy and why?

’m trying to decide between two used Genesis G70s and would like advice from owners/mechanics.

Option 1:
2022 Genesis G70 2.0T AWD
18,000 miles
$30,000
Not CPO
Engine: 2.0T
Assuming clean title/no accidents
Lower miles, but older and weaker engine

Option 2:
2025 Genesis G70 2.5T Standard AWD
40,400 miles
$26,621
Not CPO
Engine: 2.5T

CARFAX shows 1 owner, no accidents/damage reported, no title issues, warranty active, no recalls reported
Original MSRP around $46k
Recent service includes oil/filter change, tires replaced, brake system checked, emissions inspection, and maintenance inspection

My main priorities are:
Long-term reliability
Lower maintenance/repair costs
Overall ownership experience
Gas mileage
Engine durability: 2022 2.0T vs 2025 2.5T
Resale value

I know the 2025 has the better engine and is cheaper/newer, but the 40k miles worry me. The 2022 has much lower miles, but it’s older, costs more, and has the older 2.0T engine.
For people who own or work on these cars:
Which one would you buy and why?
Would the 2025 be worth it at $26.6k, or is the 2022 low-mile car the safer long-term buy?

Upstairs bathtub/bathroom overflowed and water came through the downstairs bathroom ceiling. The leak is stopped now and there’s no active dripping, but there are multiple water spots near the ceiling vent/smoke detector area.

Do I need to call a water damage restoration company for this, or can this usually dry out on its own if the source is stopped? I’m trying to avoid mold and avoid opening the ceiling unless it’s really necessary.

What should I check for, especially around the ceiling vent? What signs mean I should stop DIY and call restoration?
