| Someone posted that GM made the Pilot transmissions. That needed a response. We have to be allowed a little drifting to reply. | |

No drifting for you for 2 weeks!! |

| karen, if you cesure the rest of us for drifting, please censure the morons that start the drifting in the 1st place...lol. | |
|
A little drift is normal and I usually let it pass as long as it gets back on topic in a few posts. However, there was a definite current of incivility beginning to form, so I felt it best to..doing my Barney Fife impression...nip it in the bud. |

Does anyone know dealers in Seattle area selling Pilot at or under MSRP? Thanks The Pilot is selling significantly over MSRP in the Pacific Northwest. |

raybear, Where this info from? Why in Pasific Northwest Pilot can't be sold for MSRP. It is not true |
|
| prices on the west coast, from what i hear are going well above MSRP...midwest, at or slightly above with equipment adds, and eastend pilots are going somewhere in the middle...did some research on honda's interactive site at work today. | |
| The Pilot can be had at MSRP with no forced DIO's at several locations in San Diego and Riverside County. No bait and switch. I bought my black EX-L 2 weeks ago from a coastal SD County dealer with zero hassles. If the Pilot is going for over MSRP in Northwest, one would be wise to check out the base MDX (if available and going at MSRP) before "caving in". | |

I picked up my Sage Pilot EXL this week, and I love the way it feels. I waited about 4 weeks to get the vehicle at $350 below MSRP. I paid $30,630, plus $20 for the dealer to do the registration paperwork , a $10 state inspection fee, plus sales tax. I did not have to buy any dealer installed accessories. I submitted requests for price quotes via cyberspace to about ten dealers within a thirty minute drive of my home in Westchester Couny. The prices quoted were all over the map, from $350 below to $2000 above MSRP. My previous vehicle, a 2000 Odyssey was still in excellent condition, so I figured I could wait if it took a while for delivery. The dealer with the best price faxed me the written order at home, and I put down a credit card deposit of $200. I never had to set foot in a dealership, saving me a lot of hassle and wasted time. Luckily, the new Pilot was available very quickly. The dealer was even nice enough to take a personal check at delivery, saving me a trip to the bank. Everything seemed fine until I went out to the Pilot to drive home, and found there were no floor mats. The window sticker lists carpeted floor mats as standard equipment. They looked around for the mats and said they couldn't find them. Since I had been cheated out of floor mats by another car dealer in the past, I was very suspicious. I told the sales manager at the dealership that I wouldn't accept the car until the mats were installed. They were still unable to find the mats, so I left. The next day they called to tell me the mats were lost, so they ordered another set of original equipment mats which arrived the following day. When I went to pick up the Pilot, they gave me a free second set of Pilot winter mats as an apology for having to come back to pick up the vehicle. I was very satisfied. In sum, it is a great vehicle, and I feel I got a very fair price, given the demand and the quality of the vehicle. My well laid plan to go to the dealership only once to pick up my Pilot was foiled, but only a little bit. Now if I could get them to deliver my next vehicle to my house, that would be great! I hate going to car dealerships! |
