The good--I've worked out a deal in Atlanta for a new 2004 White Pilot EX-L with navigation at invoice. Pricing is: $30,058 vehicle $499 doc fee (he won't budge) $2,138.99 taxes (7%) $21 title ----------- $32,716.99 out the door Includes for no charge crossbars, mud flaps, some type of paint protection, and free tires and oil changes for the life of the vehicle. The bad--I was planning on doing the Capital One financing with blank check and using that as a bargaining piece to see if Honda will give me a lower rate. However, once my wife and I applied online with Capone this weekend, they came back to us with a 9.25% interest rate for 5 years. We are doing $0 down with a joint application. My wife has FICO in the range of 705-710 and I'm in the 720-725 range (we just pulled credit scores yesterday for all 3 bureaus). I guess you must have to have 750+ FICO to get CapitalOne's advertised low rates (current 4.59% for 60 months). Does anyone have any recent experience with Honda financing? What "tier" will I most likely be in and what do current rates look like? I'm hesitant to preapply online at hondacars.com because I don't want to mark up my scores even more with multiple credit apps. Does anyone have other online recommendations for auto loans? I'm guessing E-Loan will be similar to Capital One. Any advice on these issues is greatly appreciated. P.S. I hope this is the right thread for this post, if not, please refer me to a more appropriate thread. |

Replying to: joeruby070153 (Apr 15, 2004 8:15 pm) Live in NJ, want EX/L Blk/Saddle, but the prices from MP Honda blow away NJ dealer prices without any negotiation. Did you happen to price out the cost to have the Pilot shipped back to you w/o having to fly out to Ohio and then drive back? |

Anybody got a good deal on a Pilot EXL with entertainment system in the Chicago area?

How long has the Pilot been out? What kind of used prices are these fetching? How about on something like a 2002? How are these offroad? In the sand dunes? In deep snow?

Replying to: suvshopper1234 (Aug 16, 2004 2:42 pm) As far as it's off road / deep snow capabilities, based upon my research, it's adequate, but not great. It's a FWD based, mini-van chassis based SUV, with rather docile tires. Which means that it will ride considerably better "on road" than our heavier, truck based, RWD based Isuzu Trooper. But it won't match it in off road or deep snow situations. Which, of the 75,000 miles we've driven in the Isuzu, only accounts for about 1-2% of the time for us. If off-roading is important to you, there are better choices out there, from the inexpensive Jeep Liberty to our other consideration, the Lexus GX470. But I wouldn't try to play dune buggy with a Pilot (or MDX, XC90, Highlander, .....). |

Well, it sounds like the Pilot is shot down on a bunch of different reasons. Too bad, because Hondas are so reliable and all. Wishing for the day when Honda makes a truck and an SUV. Think ARMADA/TITAN or TUNDRA/LAND-CRUISER type of truck. Full ladder, solid axles, beefy motor and transmission with all that sweet Honda quality. |

Is it reasonable to expect less than invoice on the 2004 pilot ex-l when/just before the 2005 models come out?

Replying to: rperezjr (Aug 16, 2004 6:09 pm) i have been following this forum for a few days and i must say it has been extremely helpful. i did get a quote from Mike Pruitt honda for $300 below invoice for the EX and EX-L. I guess the '05 must be coming soon. has anyone else heard of below invoice pricing ?
