This is a first post in quite a while for two reasons.
1) My new computer arrived and I had a few issues getting it set up that made the project take a lot longer than it should have. This is my first time on this forum on the new machine.
2) I've been working really hard at work trying to get two projects done so I could take a vacation.
The good news is that I got my projects done and I'm going to be on vacation all of next week. I'll be out of town Thursday thru Labor Day but in the five days before that...
I'M FINALLY GOING TO TEST DRIVE A PILOT!!
That's assuming I can find one to drive of course. I am definitely ready to buy now and since the 04 changes are so minor I'd be willing to order an 04 after driving an 03.
Because of reasons 1 and 2 above when I logged on today I had 883 messages unread. I simply don't have time to read them all so I scanned the threads paying particular attention to the 04 threads. I didn't find much information besides the list of changes that I had read the last time I was on.
Now, I have been on this board long enough to know that from time to time we are occasionally guilty of thread drift. I'm wondering if any of you folks can point me to any threads that drifted to discussions of the 04.
I'm particularly interested in:
1) The exact changes. ( I read at least two different lists that said they were official.)
2) When will there be an 04 on a lot for me to drive
3) When are the first ones going to ship
4) How long am I going to have to wait before the pre-orders are filled
5) Are there still 03's available and are the dealers lowering the prices because they are end of year or raising them because the demand is still strong and there are no more coming out.
It's for real this time folks! :2:
1) My first choice is an 04.
2) I'd consider an 03 if I could get a good deal (and even better drive the actual car I would buy so I could check for window scrunch etc.)
3) Since I haven't actually driven a Pilot yet I can't rule out the Highlander which I did drive about a year ago and didn't really wow me but would definitely fit my needs.
