Would buying the 2009 Pilot Touring 4WD with NAV without DVD RES and then ADDING a DVD RES elsewhere be worth the savings? Or, would it be better to get it already installed by Honda?  I'll need a DVD RES for the California to Maine trip I'm planning this summer - hopefully, in my new Pilot Touring 4WD!

| Picked up our Ex-L no RES from Gladstone Honda(Oregon) last night for $30,499 OTD + $218 DMV fees. If you're looking and in the Portland/Willamette Valley area this is the place to go. Did a lot of shopping around and got this price via internet sales team right off the bat. No one else came closer than $500. Great to deal with drove away with new vehicle in 1.5 hous. No monkey business or pushing of extended warranties, options etc. Really happy with the service. A+++ | |

I sort of asked this before and got some help, but I think I'm not in a good position and I would welcome someone setting me straight on this. In 2005 I bought a Honda Pilot LX. It was one of those purchase/lease type arrangements with a balloon now due for $15000. The car has a Blue Book of about $12000. I would like to get another car, obviously. So, if I purchase, say, a used CRV for $19000, what do I do about the balloon? Without the balloon, the situation would look like this: $19000-$12000=$7000 financed. BUT what happens with the balloon? Would Honda just roll it over for another couple of years? Could I, say, throw in an additional couple of thousand dollars and add to the finance? I am very confused about this (and am ashamed that I am confused as I should have figured all this out before I purchased in 2005). ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!! RON

Replying to: ronnyc (Feb 22, 2009 8:02 am) My 2005 Pilot LX I purchased this from your company April 2005. As it turns out, it seems that because of the balloon due April 1, I’m going to have to get rid of the car, as far as I can tell. Here’s my beef and understand I am not shirking my responsibility as I am an adult. I bought the car from your company. When I brought in my Rav4 for trade in, your service people took the car and it was gone. I sat waiting to sign papers (and actually to discuss payment terms as they hadn’t been mentioned yet) from 3PM to 9PM, no food, nothing. By 9PM, hungry and thirsty, I would have confessed to crimes. I asked once about the Rav, saying that I should come back another day due to the long wait but was told that the Rav was already gone (and where? I don’t know). I was getting rather freaked out. Had I realized that purchasing the car with a $15000 balloon at the end would mean that I would basically be under water with the car after four years, I would have never done this. Who would? But I did. Honda said of course I could pay off the balloon at about $450/month (versus $303 now) but then at the end of that I would have a worthless eight year old car. Hmm…not a great scenario, right? So, in the next few weeks, I’m going to turn the car in and pay the difference of the balloon and that will end my relationship with Honda permanently. In my view, and especially in this horrible economic environment, companies such as yours should view customers as valuable people for on-going relationships, not some cow you milk and then discard. But I don’t run your company.
