Wife's 2003 Pilot turned 200K not a big deal but celebrated by putting in a set of NGK Iridium IX plugs

 

Congrats! Now go put some gas in it!

 

I took a video of my 1st gen TL rolling over to 250K. Sold it with 263, still running around out there somewhere.

Any trans issues in the Pilot?

 

Sweet. You've finally broken it in.

 

very nice!

 

Put your seat belt on!

 

None, it had the ATF oil pipe recall done in 2003 but we've had no AT problems. Fluid gets changed with Honda fluid every 15K miles.

 

Congrats!

My Aunt has a Pilot with ~180k on it. Runs like a champ!

 

Impressive!

 

Nice! I can't wait to break 200k in my car.

 

Pretty amazing-especially for a 2003!

 

What's most impressive is the Pilot still has the original

1) brake rotors
2) exhaust system
3) CV joint boots
4) suspension dust/grease boots

I used to change the CV joint boots on older Honda/Acura's every 60K-90K miles. FWIW I clean and lubricate with 100% silicone spray lubricant. I really hate replacing CV joint boots.

 

Very nice!

 

Our 2003 Pilot reached 300k miles last night right as we pulled into our driveway.

Most reliable, durable, and dependable vehicle we ever had, bought new in 2002.
Original engine/transmission/exhaust/shocks.
Only replacement besides maintenace in last six years have been
- front rotors
- front driveshafts
- front wheel bearings
- front lower control arm bushings.
- SRS light comes on 1-2 days after reset, suspected intermittent cable reel

 

Awesome!

 

Very cool!

Having a truly dependable car that isn't costing you is valuable in so many ways.

 

Awesome!!!

Here's to the next 100k!

 

impressive!

 

Our youngest daughter was driving the Pilot last October with my wife and unfortunately was sideswiped by a Toyota Siena and totaled. Most fortunately no one was hurt in either vehicle. But too much damage for a 19 year old Pilot with 325k dependable miles. Best family vehicle we ever had, lotta great memories from road trips, camping, moving the girls to/from college,....IIRC, it was one of the first 10k Pilot's made in Ontario Honda assembly plant. Still running extremely well with no major problems. With exception of three window regulators, three lock actuators, three wheel bearings and lower front control arm bushings, nothing lese out of routine maintenance. Pretty amazing for any vehicle.

 

Is is just cosmetic damage? If so, why not keep it for beater duty if it really means something to the family.

 

a salvage title beater SUV seems perfect for a college-age kid!

 

No unfortunately both doors and the B pillar are twisted so the doors won't close at the way, so besides not closing there was a gap (~0.7") in the doors and body that let water in.
I did wanna keep it as a beater.

 

Glad your wife and daughter were ok! 325k miles is amazing for any car.
