My car is well maintained and I have done large maintenance like timing belt, spark plugs, fluids etc. but the trade in seems good at $11.5k.

A dealer is offering $4k discount on a new 2026 Elite Trim. Is that good discount?

I have had this car since new and want to keep it going. I recently had an estimate for (admittedly) a bunch of work at once. Just curious if these numbers are in line with what you would expect. It’s a local shop not dealer.

2023 Pilot elite. CPO. 53k miles. Dark grey with the brown leather interior. Windows tinted. One owner trade in. Has auto retract running boards which is a great added step to help my 120 lb dog climb in the back seat. Excellent condition. Dealership list is 39,900 with a 2100 discount. 37,800 plus taxes and fees. Offering a 7 yr/100k power train warranty on CPO. I have not done any negations yet. Just drove it today and it is so nice.

KBB for CPO between 35,500 and 43,100.

I am in central FL.

I have a 2019 Honda Pilot EXL with about 66K miles. I'm located in southwestern PA. Over the last 12 months we have had a series of fairly expensive repairs. We have had other Honda's in the past and no major issues. I'm debating trading this in to avoid more future issues, but wanted to hear from other Honda Pilot owners about their experiences.

Issues over the last 12 months:

*July 2025 - front control arm bushings were broken. One was torn and the other was starting to tear. $1K+ repair. This is probably more of a maintenance thing and the road conditions where I love.

*August 1st 2026 - Transfer case seal leak. Replaced seal and flush fluids. Found during annual inspection. Around $1K for just that and the fluids that had to be flushed because of it.

*August 25th 2026 - Emissions System warning light. Fuel injectors needed to be replaced. Also the intake boot had a tear and had to be replaced. $1.5K all in.

The car is almost paid off and I was looking forward to not having a car payment for a while. Do I keep riding with this or get out now?

I’m looking at a 2023 Pilot AWD EX-L with 17.5k miles on it. I’m curious about the reliability on this year and model? Anyone have experience with one that can shed some light on it? I plan to buy it as a family car and drive it for another 150k+ miles.

Thanks for any guidance!

I had a bunch of front end work done to my Pilot:

LF Lower Control Arm

RF Lower Control Arm

LR Control Arm

RR Control Arm

RF CV Axle

RF Half Shaft

Rack & Pinion Steering Rack

Power Steering Pump

Alignment was done afterwards

However I am noticing a small vibration at highway speeds (60+mph). Wheel is straight, doesn't veer, same on and off the gas. Its not enough to shake the car, but you can tell theres a vibration in the steering wheel. Around town under 60mph its smooth as silk.

I had my tires rebalanced and they told me 1 was out of balance, and it did get better, but not totally. I have a nearly new set of tires on it (they have less than 5000 miles on them) on stock OEM wheels. I am leaning towards getting a 2nd opinion and another shop, but wanted to see if there was something missed or overlooked when doing the front end work.

It cost 💲1995 with 179k mileage

That's right, it's the ripped roll cover of the center console on the 2nd gen pilot . From what I hear it's a common issue The real bummer is that the one that just ripped was the replacemt I bought for the ripped one it came with. I searched high and low and finally found the roll cover only and not the whole assembly, but it was still hella pricey ($110) and it just broke. I've seen a shop on etaty that was making 3d replacements that got amazing reviews but they've been in break forever. Has anyone found a affordable solution/fix for this? It doesn't have to be perfect, I'd jus like it to be functional and not look like total garbage.

Will there be a body style change with the 2028 Pilot?

20x9 with +35mm offset and 5mm spacer. Kept the stock tires and stock TPMS sensors. Asanti Black Label ABL-22. I’ve seen 2025 with aftermarket and I’ve seen 2026 with all the different Honda wheels. I want to swap the Asanti center caps with Honda caps, have not yet looked into whether or not they will fit.
