$560 a month for a Honda Pilot? Yikes.

Thanks for the helpful response.

You could get into a loaded mdx for that money

What’s the sales price

6

I could get an RDX or even a Lexus 350 with much higher MSRP but I need the cargo space the pilot provides and I want the luxury of the higher end models. Driving a touring right now. The only other V6 SUV with similar cargo space is the Highlander (Missing some options I want) and the Chevy traverse, same features much worse lease price. So looking at the pilot again.

Info I have is as much as I could get without visiting the dealer. In my area I can’t even get a price from several dealers via the Internet managers :slight_smile: They keep asking when I could come in. They even call when I say email only.

Using the info I know and the calculator the sales price should be 44,450

It’s a good deal

8

Ah yes, the joy that is Long Island car dealerships

9

Yup!
Although I did get a price from someone in NJ. Highest price I got.

Thank you.

I would ask for more off msrp. I got $6500 off a touring.

12

Is this for 10k year? Why do I keep hearing Honda won’t do under 12k?
Is this an 18 or 19?
Also, what features does the Highlander lack that you wanted?

13

I think it’s been stated a million times that in NY Honda does 10k

14

10K, never needed more. Current Touring is 3 yrs with 25K.
Lease is through TFCU on this deal not sure if that changes the miles available.
Although I will check when I visit a dealer I suspect that through Honda must work out higher. (Although you do have the benefit of an easier return if you lease another Honda. Not so with TFCU/Fusion) I think I was told that Honda financing would absorb last 2 or 3 payments most of the time.

He didn’t say RDX.

16

Do you feel the need to upgrade to an Elite from Touring though? Touring is already very well equipped and you can definitely save some money as well.

17

Im in a 2016 pilot now lease is coming up and I am on my way into a Telluride now. Blows it away in every way possible.

18

Haven’t looked at Kia. What Pilot are you coming out of? Why is he Kia better? Are you getting a better lease price for comparable priced car?

19

I test drove the Kia and the drive and technology is better then the pilot. Check it out

I saw one today at a local dealer. Nice looking, didn’t drive it as the price was MSRP + $5K :slight_smile:
Similar cargo room to the pilot. Might have considered it if the lease price was the same as the pilot but will seems that it will be more being a new model at the moment. Even from a reasonable dealer.
