I ended up replacing my rottedt 2007 MDX 200k(would not pass NH inspection) with a 2015 Honda Pilot LX with 70k.It was dealer maintained according to Carfax and no accidents apparent in close inspection by me.
I did a dealer who ended up letting me trade 2007 MDX and I bought the 2015 Pilot LX for $13.5k cash so am happy.
Pros:
* kids love the room and space of 8 passenger. No fights across the three rows. I don't feel cramped in it
* New brakes, tires/alignment
* own it outright
* simple to repair at any cheap shop
* AWD for skiing and recently took up steep fire road for hike
Cons:
VCM engine (need to get muzzler likely)
Basic and lacks thing like auto headlights and outside temperature
The handling is ho hum
It will be a 5 year vehicle for me then hand off to daughter(s) for something more fun. I actually like the comfort and practically.
