Hey Vegas!
I'm currently on the hunt for a Pilot EX-L. Our first experience was a couple of weeks ago, at Shack-Findlay in the Valley Auto Mall. They had one demo for test drives, and one in the showroom (which was actually sold already).

I spoke to Kevin Rucker (highly recommended). He was very helpful. Took us on a test drive, and gave us tons of info, even though they did not have a Pilot to sell us. We then left the dealership, and test drove a Highlander, a Envoy, and a Trailblazer.

The Pilot was the clear choice. Later that evening, we went to Honda West. They had pilots available, but with a 5000 dealer markup. I "talked them down" to 3000 over MSRP, they politely told me they wouldn't sell it to me at MSRP (or even close).

Kevin from Shack-Findlay called me on Saturday, and told me he had one instock, Havasu Blue, and even offered to drive it to my house (on the other side of town). But, by the time he got to the car, it was already sold. He's still looking for me.

So, I've been looking. I tried tried the Honda Dealership in St George, UT, but no pilots. I tried the Honda Dealership in Kingman, AZ. They told me they had no pilots, but lots of S2000s that they could use for trade bait. If they can get me a pilot, they will sell it to me at $200 under MSRP. They are suppose to call me back tomorrow.

Kevin from Shack-Findlay, is trying to trade for a pilot for me too. I should be able to get it at MSRP or so from them.

I'll try and Call Britten at Desert Honda tomorrow.

Any other advice for me?

Thanks,
Lyn
