Just want share some helpful information I didn’t find anywhere. I measured current drawing from the battery when car is parked. In my case it was new 2009 EX Pilot, 2WD, 1800 miles on the odometer. The data taken would also be useful for the future; if possible problems with the battery rose. Test1. The ignition switch is in LOCK (0) position, the key is in the ignition switch – 156mA Test2. The ignition switch is in LOCK (0) position, the key is removed – 45mA What does it mean for the owner? If you leave your car in the garage with the key in the ignition switch (which most of us do), the 100% charged 60Ah battery will lost 80% of its capacity within 13 days (or within 45 days without the key). That was theoretical calculation. In addition to that, flooded lead-acid batteries have relatively high self-discharge rate even without any external circuits. It could be 8-40% per month (2-10% per week) depends on how old the battery is. One note for those, who will replicate this test on your car. Right after connecting MM, the current jumps up to 2-3 Amps, then gradually gets down within 10-15 seconds. So, set your MM properly or it could be damaged. |

I have received several quotes from the internet departments and most of them have come back with about $29,500 for this model with side steps. Has anyone bought a 2009 Honda Pilot EX-L or EX-L w/RES (rear entertainment system), if so what was the final selling price the dealership sold it for? If anyone has the actual invoice for this vehicle please let me know.

Replying to: bigdadi118 (May 04, 2009 6:02 pm) I received an e-quote for the EX-L 4wd yesterday and the price was $29,870, excluding destination. I think this is still kinda high and I wanted to get them down. The quote also said that the price already includes factory incentives. I'm wondering if the dealer would be willing to come down on this price. It seems like dealers are pretty firm on their e-quote prices. Anyone have experience with equote/internet pricing?

Replying to: tina1976 (May 05, 2009 11:05 am) Make sure the price is including dest charge + dealer fee (ask how much) + TT&L. Reply to them the trade-in is optional depending the offer. When you pinpoint the best deal, ask them to email the breakdown of all figures, MSRP with stock #, VIN #, thus no excuses, no surpirse fees. Over the phone, let them charge you $100 on credit card (refundable) to hold the car for your arrival. Best yet is got car loan pre-approved in best % rate you can find (AAA) and dealer needs to match yours in order to use them to finance. They sure makes profit on that. |

In my search for a white with blue interior this morning, I have come across a white with black interior and silver with black. Is this just a typo or has someone ordered these cars and didn't go through with the deal? One is in California & the other in Vegas. I really don't like the look of blue interior, however it is the only one that will hide my 10 year olds dirt!

I took delivery of a 2009 EX-L on April 19th. A week later I noticed it was pulling to the right so I took it in. Dealer claimed to had realigned it but nothing really changed. My wife went back today (a week later) and she was told that they couldn't find anything wrong with the car; that Honda cars did that. The service person was very inquisitive about the number of seconds before the car would veer to the side. This sounds like a big fat lie to me. Can anyone please give me any guidelines/ideas?
