The 2004 Honda Pilot: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2004 Honda Pilot; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2004 Honda Pilot, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
What to check on the Pilot
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. There are 12 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
Under the hood
Power: the 3.5L 6-cylinder; drive: all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
It is rated at 13.8 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 41 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $21.39, and a 300 km weekend about $64.17. The EPA estimates US$3,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Best uses
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.
Try before you buy
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Pilot for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $213.90 at our price setting.
Which one to look for
Within the 2004 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
