I am the one who had been asking about SUV’s including Pilot, CX-9 and Tribeca. Finally, I picked 09 Pilot EX-L 4WD as a family SUV because it is more spacious and it has more storages than others. Driving and power are Ok as a family car, although I miss my TT so much that I traded in. In the second row, one adult can sit with 2 car seats or two adults with 1 car seat. The third row is more spacious than I thought.

I hate Honda because they don’t let me add only leather seat to its LX model which is the lowest priced trim. I only need leather seats and 4WD. Because they don’t just add leather seats to LX trim, I end up buying EX-L and paying more money. I think other car makes do the same unless it’s a luxury brand.

Anyway, I like to share the price information with whoever interested in it.

The original MSRP : $35,195
Out the door: $31,995 including tax (6.75%) and title

FYI, the quote I got for 09 Pilot EX 4WD was

The original MSRP : $32,765
Out the door: $29,919.30 including tax (6.75%) and title

This price is quiet aggressive based on the responses by dealers from a few other dealerships around my town. I hope this information may help someone decide to buy a new SUV.

Could you share the quote for CX-9?
Thanks.

Because I deleted all emails about the price right after the purchase, I dont have exact number in my head. My best guess is just about $32,000 OTD for 08 CX-9 Grand Touring AWD with Moon Roof and Bose Sound system. The OTD price is after $8000 off MSRP.
