Used dealer is selling a 2013 Acura RDX with 135K miles. It's front wheel drive. Test drive it, motor and transmission feel amazing; brakes handling etc; great. Windows electronics all seem in perfect condition given the mileage.
They want 12K for it. I really need a car and I'm wondering if anyone can give me input on common issues what to look for and if it's worth getting.

That's a red flag right there. Used car dealers usually buy cars at auction that have no known history, do a cursory clean-up, and flip the car to an unsuspecting victim for a huge markup. (BHPH - "Buy Here Pay Here" - lots are the worst offenders, real bottom-feeders.)

Unless you are a mechanic the only way you can really evaluate the car's condition is to have a good mechanic give it a thorough examination before purchase. If the seller won't let you do that don't just walk away, run away.

Sounds like a lot for a 13-year-old RDX with way over 100,000 miles on it. Check sites like Kelley Blue Book and also check comparables in your area to get an idea of pricing.

A quick internet search suggests that vehicle does not have much in the way of inherent problems but it's old enough that the way its been treated and maintained is going to be the primary factor in its reliability.
