Owner's Pitch
"One-owner family SUV with a meticulous 14-year history. This 7-passenger Honda Pilot features leather, heated seats, and a power liftgate. Recently replaced starter ensures reliability. While it needs minor glass work and AC service, its mechanical longevity and clean title make it an unbeatable value for a growing family on a budget."

Description
Overview: This is a reliable one-owner family vehicle. It has been in the same family since new and has served us well for 14 years. It features a clean title and recently received a new starter.
Features: Fully equipped for a large family with 7-passenger seating across three rows. Includes heated power seats, a sunroof plus a second moonroof, power liftgate, and two sets of remote keys. All seats fold flat for maximum cargo space.
Condition: The vehicle runs and drives well. Note that the AC is currently not working due to a leak, and there is a crack in the passenger window and windshield. Small holes are present in the rear light housings and there is light wear on interior buttons.
History: This SUV was purchased brand new and passed down from the original owner. It has 178,600 miles and comes with a clean title. It is being sold as-is to make room for a smaller vehicle.
Market Highlights
- The Budget SUV Reality: In 2026, finding a running, one-owner Japanese SUV for under $3,000 is increasingly rare. While the cosmetic and AC issues are notable, the mechanical pedigree of a long-term family-owned vehicle usually outweighs the risks associated with multi-owner 'flip' cars in this price bracket.
- The Southern California Premium: Los Angeles buyers prioritize 3-row vehicles for carpooling and family utility. Even with high mileage, a Honda Pilot commands a 10% premium over domestic counterparts due to its reputation for reaching 250,000+ miles with basic maintenance.
- Trim and Feature Value: The EX-L trim adds significant desirability with leather seating and the power liftgate. These features remain functional here, providing a 'luxury' feel that most sub-$3k vehicles lack, making it an attractive prospect for a buyer willing to invest in minor repairs.
