Honda Pilot - Is it the best used SUV to buy?

I was asked to recommend a good reliable under 10K full size SUV. This is the recommendation I made. Lets go on a trip to the used car lot and look at the car as it was on the lot. The deal was made and I will show you some of the things I considered and checked while looking over this high mileage 2009 Honda Pilot EX.

I have a 2011 Honda Pilot. I paid $8,000. I've owned or driven every make and model out there. I love this Honda Pilot far more than any of those other vehicles. She's perfect! Looks cool. Great power. Tracks perfectly straight. The built-in stereo sounds incredible! Lots of headroom. Super comfortable ride. Full power all the way around. You can pop the back hatch and have a covered party space. I've put 10,000 miles on it in the last 6 months. Changed the oil 3 times and flushed the transmission. I love my Honda Pilot. It's my baby. If I take good care of her, she'll probably outlast me.

Nice…actually i had plans of trading my 2012 exl pilot for a tundra or 4runner but after watching your video i changed my mind thanks man..i got it brand new last 2012 after ten long years of perfect maintenance from the dealership i got no problem with it just regular oil change and thats it but when i reached 100k miles they told me to changed the belts and im glad i did now my honda is fresh just like the first day it left the dealership so smooth and so love it!!! And for your vid i will be subscribing your channel…

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! Thanks so much for watching and your comment! Trust me you made the right decision, keep the HONDA. The Tundra is a great truck, but they are costly and tough to find, the 4Runner is a sick Gas Guzzler and compared to the Pilot pretty small inside due to it's Truck Style frame chassis. In terms of cars, just drive it until you can't anymore, no point in trading a car that runs fine, plus right now the used care market is not the best and there is a huge shortage of cars.

[@MrDdz]

Yeah I just bought a 13 Pilot at 160K. Completely forgot about the timing belt replacement thing. It's an expensive maintenance item, and there was no way to know if previous owner did it at 100K mark. So I went and got it done anyway. $1500 later now I am worry free, knock on wood.

[@0071981mike]

so a couple of problems i run into with these as also the odyessys mainly with the 3.5 v6, one the air duct on them for the intake that links the air filter to the throttle body breaks alot during the cold months , thus causing unmetered air not calculated by the MAF sensor and end up with lower power and misfires. second is the purge control valve, they fail all the time with a p0458 to pop up. when i see that code, it is 100 percent of the time the purge control valve. and last and most expensive is the misfire these things will have with certain vins. it comes down to ultimately is the piston rings on cylinders 1-3 and sometimess 4 are fouling the spark plugs. honda did offer a warranty extension but is out of phase now. if you ever run into a misfire, take it to a honda dealership, i have seen honda take care of the whole bill or partially, just depends on the mood the person that is on the other line. after all of that, make sure that the airbag recall has been done. overall it is solid. the misfire is the most expensive repair that mighty run into.

Awesome job on this video, another area to check on are the shocks. Look for oily residue or what looks like something ran down as in a leak. Also check the CV boots for rips or holes.Check brake fluid to make sure it’s not brown. Same with power steering and clutch fluid if applicable. ;) Have a good one my friend!

I used to help appraise cars years ago as part of being a sales guy. This is the most remarkably clean and solid high mileage car I have ever seen. The dealership was super honest too.

[@hybrid32494]

@@a.j.queenhealer4523 With an older car of 10+ years the main thing to look for is the CONDITION, you're mostly paying for the low miles at that point, so I'm sure the 09 pilot with 69K miles on it will not be cheap. Most important thing is to check the Carfax if you're buying it. Those cars typically have very high miles, so look at the typical signs of wear that will confirm it is in fact a low mileage car. Check the pedals for excess wear, check the steering wheels, the buttons, basically you're looking for signs of it being not a true low mileage car, which is what you're mostly paying for.

hey buddy! Yes,! This was a great place, I'd certainly purchase another car here. The car is perfect to this day, not one issue so far, already going on it's 2nd year soon.

[@norm1233]

Ford edge are best suvs especially the ecoboost 4cyl .... You prolly see more chevy equinoxes tho

[@hybrid32494]

the edge was a consideration for this purchase too. It's just that they would be way more expensive for the newer nicer body style and I just don't trust any car with a turbo and over 80K. There are just too many extra variables. I have not been seeing many of the early ford ECOBOOST models on the roads recently either, but HONDAS and Toyotas are everywhere. It's all thermodynamics, boost=more power=less longevity of materials (roughly speaking) plus you need premium gas.

[@sarahendrix3132]

Let's hope the engine wasn't pressure washed...it would kill it at some point.

[@fh1980ram]

I know that place, it's the Elizabeth port in jersey.

[@hybrid32494]

yes! thats right!! it is..

[@disrrptlol3635]

A steal!

[@WAYNEMB00GY]

Hi bro I wanna to pay honda pilot 2008 with 200000 miles clean title. clean body .look like brand new runing gread. only 2 owners they asking $7600. I need your advice thank u

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! Those are great cars, but the $7,600 is alot for a 200K car. Plus it's the older generation model, you know. Id offer 5K and see what happens. 5K won't really piss the seller off and you're likely to make a deal around 6K.

If a used car salesman ever points out shinny rotors turn around and run.

[@hybrid32494]

ahahaa, that is somewhat true. I used to actually be a car salesman years ago, and I gotta tell you this car was spotless, it's still running strong and no issues of any kind. The way I look at it is, let them spend their money on the car (dealer), chances are they won't get it back on a high mileage car like this. No matter how good the shape is, you're paying for the miles on a 10 year old car, you know.

[@rcplayer7581]

Yep garaged look that exhaust

[@nonsojohn4574]

Nice

[@divalova25]

New Joysey omg

[@hybrid32494]

LOL, hey!! yes, that's right!! thanks you for watching.

[@anilrc914]

I bought my Nissan Altima three years ago

[@Sam_fehr]

Why is it so good

[@hybrid32494]

whats up force rc!!! It's good because it's tough to find a reliable high mielage SUV overall. Generally they have many issue with the 4WD systems or emmisions systems. This HONDA is modern looking and yet cheap becuase it's 10 years old. It's a non-turbo, generic 5 speed auto transmission, and is reliable due to it's basic design.

[@FoundryRC]

it's ok you can tell us the real reason this car was bought so you can use it to pick up the primal MT. lol 👍🏻🍻

[@hybrid32494]

ahhaha, how did you know!! LOL. That is a good point though, it would be useful for that.

[@mjt4651]

Great SUV….great cargo area…..not as impressed with the 2016 & up years

[@MrAllensClassRoom]

Any1 have vcm issues.on 2014 honda pilot?

[@exploited4962]

Nice 👍

[@hybrid32494]

hey brother!! I love making car videos, but it's tougher than RC. Cops always be watching when I try to record the ride. LOL. Nobody care about driving RC's ahahaha.

[@Calmer573]

170k lol.

[@nomusicrc]

I’m going to skip this video because it’s not RC related

[@hybrid32494]

lol, you have my permission to do that! Although this was some top level Car investigations here!!

[@rcplayer7581]

More like 10 ? But you went jersey paid cash prob know guy so sticking 7 8

[@hybrid32494]

hey man, I didn't know the dealer, this was found with a basic search of used cars, the dealership and Saleman were both really honest and fair. I would definetly buy another car here. You can see the dealership name in the license plate on the front of the car btw. Price was low 7K after some negotiating.

[@rcplayer7581]

How much u pay 8 ?

[@hybrid32494]

This isn't my car, but I did do the negotiations. This dealership was super fair, all their cars were priced vey fair, and really no room for profit for them. Wound up paying 7,300 out the DOOR (sales tax not included). The asking price was 7,500 plus some fees. Other pilots on the market were similar asking prices but in terrible shape with accidents.

[@rcplayer7581]

Very good

[@hybrid32494]

I was surprised to see nothing nuts added to the price either. No 1,500 dealer fees or prep fees. Thats typical. I would definetly buy another one from this salesman too.

[@rcplayer7581]

@@hybrid32494 what sbout tax going have pay at dmv and paid at dealer?

[@dolobrolic6066]

I have one 👍🏾

[@hybrid32494]

you the man!!! Best overall SUV for this size and spec you can get.

[@aerialzetro7196]

Hows the gas? How much does it take to fill up? What state you in?

[@amarelli9304]

It’s not an suv it’s a crossover

[@markamd1]

Bro....stick to RC cars please. :)

[@hybrid32494]

LOL, I like both!! I used to do many Car vids years ago too.

[@printer003]

Came for the SUV REVIEW. When you went to the cars, you lost me. I’m out!

[@vintagetrk]

I’m in Az and we no rust I’d love to look under those Jersey cars

[@crazyphone100]

ahhhh asshole Tesla Driver that was great. lol

[@hybrid32494]

YUP, that really pissed me off. Why do they feel they can do that, My prius is more eco-friendly then their TESLA.

[@Sam_fehr]

You are crazy honda's are no the life

[@hybrid32494]

LOL, what do you mean?? I understand that it's not a social statement that a BMW/AUDI is, and that's the point.

[@Sam_fehr]

I'm just saying there's more vehicles then just Honda's that are that good

[@hybrid32494]

well yes, ofcourse!! There are many, you're right. although when you get into the 100K + range you generally want a Japanese car. I hardly see any German or American cars last and still be like new after 100K. Ofcourse any car can make it to 100+k but it's a matter of how much money it will take and what condition it'll be in.

[@Sam_fehr]

All I have to say is Ford f-150 is best seller for 60 plus years so that must mean something

[@2stroke4me]

As a Honda owner, i'd say, go for it, but expect parts to be very expensive sometimes. Honda is reliable! I'm having a test ride on a new Honda next month :D

[@hybrid32494]

what model are you considering? This pilot is mainly a USA model, since it's huge. All the USA market hondas are larger than the worldwide models.

[@2stroke4me]

@@hybrid32494 I'm going to try out the Africa Twin (motorbike). But it's only to compare it with the new Yamaha Tenere, which i'll be test riding later on this year to see which one is more practical. My own bike needs to be replaced before it falls apart, lol!
