$5500 seems a bit high to me also, but seems to be the going price for the times. FWD? Front or 4 wheel drive?

To be fair, the badge is almost deliberately ambiguous.

On our 2006 and 2007, Honda badges them as "4WD," but you have to look closely because the "4" is stylized to look a lot like an "A."

Guess some marketing genius thought that would be both ambiguously plausible and leet.

TPMS is not a dealbreaker, I'd say. When I got my Pilot, the TPMS light was on. You can choose to ignore it and check your tire pressure old school with a gauge, or if you're OCD like me you can get new ones.

@plplplpl re TMPS: I agree. I never replace TPMS sensors when they fail, and ask for a plug. MAYBE if the dashboard told you the current tire pressure it would be worth it, but I've deflated my tires down to 20psi when on the beach and didn't get a warning. If I remember correctly, I got one tire down to like 12psi before getting a warning. Plus - I'm a little anal about tire pressure, as I've found mismatched tire pressures cause all sorts of handling issues that feel like a mis-alignment. So I can feel a deflated tire before the system would warn me. Not to mention its just another complex system where things break and I don't have the tools, time, or patience to pair new parts.

I get it. I like both. I want my TPMS functioning with no orange dash light burning into my retinas, plus I like to check and adjust my PSIs old school, with a manual gauge and the electronic gauge on my little air compressor.
