make sure you drive the Pilot long enough on freeway by zeg

Hope all proud owners to be drive Pilot long enough on freeway with at least 70 mph. I was quite excited to own 2007 Pilot EXL AWD and thrilled about the price, but soon to find out some ticklish and constant vibration/resonant sensation on freeway during daily commute, also reported by quite some owners, acknowledged by technician even at lower speed. The sensation persists even after 3 out 4 tires were re-balanced at 1500 miles. NOT what I had expected from prior ride experience of any other Hondas: Accord (at least 4 generations, coupe or sedan); minivan (2 generations); civic (3 generations). Maybe that's the truck feel people love.
 
After adding MDX rear subframe braces ($43 via mail order) , put on by dealer as add-on, the degrees of the vibrations via seats reduce a bit, but nevertheless persist. Now the frontend of vibrations become bit more prominent through steering wheel. However, the handling of the truck improves substantially with much less sway during lane change, gives one more Honda feel of handling. The dealership service is excellent, but they could not correct design flaws
 
Anyhow, good luck to all Pilot riders and proud owners to be, test and feel carefully and hope you won't feel regret month after

I just found and bought a 2007 Honda Pilot 4WD EX-L with navigation at Corona Honda in Corona, California over the weekend. It was also loaded with extras such as fog lights, rear splash guards, cargo tray, and XM satellite radio. My offer of $32000 OTD was accepted. I then added running boards for only $600 including installation and Honda's security/100,000 mile extended warranty/shield coating option for an additional $3000. All in all a good deal.

jjgalvin -- was that $30,800 out the door or just the sale price of the vehicle?
 
i'm also looking at a 2008 EX-L AWD without the navigation or rear entertainment system.
 
only first day of looking but the best i've gotten so far is $31,581 OTD. i'm in maryland/dc area.

The concept of Out the Door price is apples and oranges, every state has a different taxing/fee policy. I think the only valid term is selling price. (Some states are title states others are not; some jurisdictions have a sales tax, some don't; Some states require tags to stay with a car, others allow them to transfer, etc) The selling price should include all amounts which accrue to the dealer's benefit. In NY, for instance, sales taxes and MV/transfer fees could add almost $3000 to the cost of a Pilot!!

jjgalvin - that is true. so your price of $30,800 was the sales price of the pilot. i've been able to get $29,000 even for the price of the car from 3 dealerships. That's about $1200 less than invoice. Anyone else have prices on '08 Honda Pilots?

I read in another forum, that people are hearing that in December there will be $3K - 3.5K incentives off 08's because of the 09's coming in the spring. Don't know how true that is but makes you want to wait and see.

The Black 2007 Honda Pilot 4WD EX-L with navigation that I bought 2 days ago at Corona Honda in Corona, California had fog lights, rear splash guards, cargo tray, and XM satellite radio. I had them add running boards. The sale price was $30200 before taxes. I then bought Honda's security/100,000 mile extended warranty/shield coating/GAP package for an additional $3000. Sales tax in Los Angeles County is 8.25% and I had to pay it eventhough Corona in Riverside County is around 7%.
