The Honda Pilot is a crossover SUV that is practical, efficient, reliable, and powerful. It's built on a car structure and drives more like a car than a truck, with crisp, predictable handling and a smooth ride.
The Honda Pilot comes with the 244 hp 3.5-liter V6 engine and a five-speed automatic. They offer a choice of front-wheel drive with a cylinder-deactivation system or all-wheel drive. Two trim levels are available: LX 2WD and 4WD and EX 2WD and 4WD. Safety features that come on all Pilots include anti-lock brakes, front-passenger frontal and side-impact airbags. The EX model adds an electronic stability control system that Honda calls Vehicle Stability Assist.
For 2006, the Honda Pilot gets subtle styling updates along with enhancements to some of the interior features. Also, a new front-wheel-drive model has been added and there are enhanced safety features.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2006 Honda Pilot, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2006 Honda Pilot for less money than when it was new. If the 2006 Honda Pilot was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2006 Honda Pilot is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2006 Honda Pilot will have a excellent resale value. This assumes that the 2006 Honda Pilot is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
