Just put a $500 deposit on an AWD EX-L (Modern Steel). I paid MSRP of $45,395, plus $314 in Doc/Gov fees, for a total of 45,709 plus sales tax. No mandatory accessories or PP0. The dealer also increased the trade-in allowance for my CX-9 from $26,000 to $27,400 to match my offer from Carmax.

The total process took about 45 minutes, which included two 15 minute test drives. The Pilot is scheduled to be built in late February, with a March/April delivery.

Update to my final Price:

I finally took delivery of my EX-L yesterday, after almost 3 months since I placed my deposit--The wait was not a big deal, since I had already anticipated it. I was concerned that the value of my CX-9 had gone down, so last week I did another Carmax appraisal--To my pleasant surprise, the value had increased by $2000, to $29,400! I have a Carmax in my town, so I went down to get the offer verified, and emailed the official offer to the dealer. They agreed to raise the trade in offer to $29,000, and with the partial sales tax credit, the effective trade-in amount was $29,540.

Final price:
$45,395 MSRP
$260 Document Fees
$24 Filing Fees
$2231.74 Sales Tax
$47,910 Total
$29,000 Trade
$18,910.74

This is the first vehicle that I have ever paid sticker price, but the dealer was very easy to work with and at least I don't have to wonder if someone else got a better deal...

Can you please share the 17 point checklist? I am about to take delivery of a brand new TrailSport in July so the list will come in handy Thanks much

This is the 16 I had made out, I know there is another list out there, maybe 6 or so. I'm sure there is some overlap, and also a couple of these didn't apply to my Elite. I just threw this together since I knew I would forget them all.

I can't say I went through them all, but most of them. It was getting late and had to drive about 100 miles home. So far, no issues other than what the dealer found.

Sunroof - flat on both sides
Water leakage damage
Trim pieces falling off or loose
Big gaps in hood
Puddle lights out or flickering
Rear camera lights grid lines appear and disappear
Captains chairs armrests don't go down to the same place
Windshield blurry at angles
Chrome trim on base of passenger window
Alignment of chrome trim on drivers side rear window is off
Tailgate operation
Black spots under paint clearcoat
Bracket holding the windshield washer fluid broken causing dent in front passenger quarter panel
Insulation on rear spoiler not tucked in.
Speaker popping
Paint issues

Have bought many vehicles through the Costco Auto Program over the years. But the only Honda Dealer listed in the entire area at the time was $2,000 over MSRP. Visited another dealership that proudly stated that they never charge over MSRP. Went back to order the Pilot and they told me that they now charge $2,500 over MSRP. I got that removed. Was offered auction trade-in value for my 2017 GMC Yukon Denali with low miles. No one mentioned CarMax. Later found out through another sales person that they have a working relationship with CarMax and suggested I get an online quote (good for seven days) when the Pilot is delivered. My original sales person no longer works at this dealership.

I have to say that ordering this Pilot has been a convoluted process. The folks at the dealership are nice but their whole process seems awkward, at least compared to many past purchasing experiences. Strangely, their Order Summary Sheet didn't list my $2,000 deposit, so my original sales person wrote it in by hand and Management wouldn't reprint it after I requested they do so.

When delivery gets close, I'll see what the Yukon trade-in value is from CarMax and go from there.

I very much appreciate all the comments by other forum members and the heads up regarding possible defects to be aware of at delivery.

Located in SE Michigan where all the dealers are firm on MSRP and acting like they’re doing you a favor by only charging that. Seems like customer service is gone and they’ve all told me to go to the other side of the state for trade in and purchase, so I am. Going to Grand Rapids where the dealer has been nothing but great. Accessories listed I wanted anyway and figured I’d just let have them do it and be done given the discount.
