Pros

  • 3.5L V6 + 6-speed = the reliable Pilot drivetrain
  • Leather, moonroof, Honda Sensing, 8 seats
  • Clean, straight example in the photos

Cons

  • Priced above the cluster of comparable FWD EX-Ls
  • FWD priced near AWD comps
  • Get it down to $14k territory first

Analysis

The 2017 Pilot EX-L is Honda’s family-hauler benchmark: the 3.5-liter V6 with the 6-speed automatic, leather, heated front seats, power moonroof, Honda Sensing, and 8-passenger seating. Modern Steel Metallic, clean and straight in Premier’s lot photos.

The price misses the cluster: $17,199 with 117,564 miles. Comparable FWD EX-Ls at these miles sell at $13,987 (114,461 mi), $13,990 (114,303 mi), and $14,759 (AWD) — the realistic band is $14k, not $17k. One higher comp at $17,850 (117,846 mi, AWD) exists, but AWD commands a premium this FWD car can’t claim. Pilots are worth good money, but this one is priced like the exception instead of the rule. Moosed.
