How did we do? New Pilot owner

[seahawkfankk]

Just got my 2003 Honda Pilot EX-L shipped in from MN to South Dakota. We have researched long and hard and knew we wanted a Pilot with fewer than 100k miles with leather for around $9-10k. That said we live in a small area and I had to use the internet to find what we wanted. I looked on Kelley Blue Book etc but wanted real Pilot owner’s opinions. We bought it sight unseen so it was a gamble but after the 1st day I feel pretty good. How do you think we did?

2003 Pilot EX-L
76,000 miles (this is why we wanted it)
Running Boards
Navigation System
Clean paint and interior
Tires are not great
Carfax was clean
Maintenance seemed fine but no way to know for sure...

Price Paid: $8950 + $500 to have it shipped

I will find out more next week when I take it to my mechanic but I feel good so far. What do you all think?

Sounds like a good deal to me. I would change all the fluids and enjoy.

Has the timing belt (+water pump, accessory belts and tensioner) been replaced?
How old is the battery?
Are the CV joint boots in good condition?

Those are all very valid questions that I will have answers to next week. I know some about mechanic things but taking it in soon to get checked out. Thanks for the check list I will make sure all those things are closely looked over.
