Analysis
The 2021 Honda Pilot Elite is the loaded family hauler — ventilated seats, nav, rear entertainment, the proven 3.5L V6. The CARFAX 1-Owner badge is a genuine plus. But the odometer is doing all the talking: 127,239 miles at $24,988, which is essentially Edmunds average dealer retail ($24,856) — average-retail money for well-above-average miles. A comparable Elite with 82,138 miles listed at $27,995; this one is $3,000 less but carries 45,000 more miles, and that’s not proportional. At 127k, the timing belt service, 9-speed transmission behavior (known harsh-shift TSB), and AWD system all need close inspection. At $21,500 with the belt done and a clean bill of health, we’d reconsider. As listed: pass.
