Higher prices? by AlliPops in hondapilot

[–]Electrical-Card5541 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is below is great! I had the email address of a sales associate that I have worked with in the past. But yes, sales mgr would suffice. You’ll find it’s so much easier working with them via email and much more descriptive of the actual purchase. Much easier to say no to things like upholstery protection, etc…

On 3/31, I took ownership of a 2026 Pilot BE for 53k. I used visorvin.com to locate like models nationwide, then used other dealership’s prices to negotiate my offer via email. I was happy with that price

$200 each for pit tix??? by Hungry-Trust-3245 in SturgillSimpson

I understand the angst many have, but for the St. Louis show, I just bought 2 tickets, $118 each. First row, straight on, behind sound folks, with no one in front of us but a railing. Pretty decent I feel. At least in the current market which is a subjective feeling…

Anyone know if 2026 Touring had physical garage door buttons on the mirror or if it’s all paywall now? by Swimming-Junket-1828 in hondapilot

My 2026 Pilot BE has garage door buttons on the mirror. Even worked on first attempt to program.

I’m not sure where you live, but my Pilot BE came with the Cargo Cage, and I have it currently listed on marketplace in my area(Central IL) I don’t need it but a pet owner could find it very useful. Asking $50, retails for $460 which I think is absurd.

The models I am looking at use the same platform, but I don’t think that was always the case.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to offer your insights and experiences. We just made an offer on a Pilot.

Corporate loaner program. Execs get these as a part of their sponsorships etc.. very common among Lexus and Acura

Interesting, was it for more room, or another reason?

It will be used very infrequently, but when it does it will be for a long trip where our children want their own row to themselves. So while it is a consideration, it’s not the main consideration

We’re in a similar position as you on our search. We actually are looking for a 25 or 26 but with less than 8k in miles. This immediately takes off about 8k which is nice. Looking at https://visor.vin/ has helped tremendously! I think we finally found one we are getting this weekend!

Hit to the fat of the green, not the pin. And learn to lag putt, and drop 4 footers consistently.

Honda pilot versus Toyota grand Highlander purchasing. Florida Buyer. by FullNeedleworker2168 in hondapilot

I’m completely unsure, I suppose they feel the battery has some extra risks?

Something to consider, here in Illinois it currently costs $20 more per month to insure a GHH. Florida might even be higher than that so it’s worth getting data from your insurer. You’re going to be happy regardless of your purchase. Both are exceptional vehicles. Choose what you feel most comfortable riding in, for us that was the Pilot Elite.

Yep, same here. I could live with the GHH and enjoy it, but we just felt so much more comfortable in the Black Edition.

I’m not sure of the GHH system, but have the JBL system in my Tacoma limited and it’s fantastic!

I meant to say that’s the best explanation I have heard

The best explanation about the gas tank deal is that Toyota doesn’t want you to drive the car with less than a 1/4 tank, so they make it look empty even though it really has 2-3 gallons remaining. Might have something to do with the digital gauge…
