What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Honda Pilot

Price of the Honda Pilot: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 I was able to negotiate a very reasonable price on this pilot. This made the payments very reasonable compared to many comperable SUVs.
2008 4dr SUV 244-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 with the knee jerk reaction against SUVs in US made many SUVs affordable. Pilot was unfairly clubbed clubbed with all the gas guzzlers and that made some very good deals possible.
2007 4dr SUV 244-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 I paid about $2,000.00 less for the Pilot than a comparably equipped Highlander.
2005 4dr SUV 255-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 WE BOUGHT IT USED AND GOT A GREAT DEAL.

2009 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 Next size up from Rav4/CRV in Honda lineup and was considerably more expensive than Toyota Highlander.
2008 4dr SUV 244-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Too high; not worth the money.
2008 4dr SUV 244-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 High price
2006 4dr SUV 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD

2008 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Yes, I did until they gave $4K incentive right now
2008 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Good value for a mid-sized luxury SUV
Price of the Acura MDX: Cons

2011 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 about 10% overpriced.
2008 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 A similarly equipped Mazda CX-9 was $4,500 less.
2008 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 They should make leases more affordable.
2007 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Higher than FX
2007 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Given current resale values I think the original pricing was too high.

5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Expensive
2006 4dr SUV 253-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Can get expensive, but still a good value in the field.
2006 4dr SUV 253-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Cost more than a car, but less than most SUVs.
2004 4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Comparatively speaking, the incentive from BMW (less $6000) was what did it for me. Acura could not match it.
2003 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Price is too high.
