Used Honda Pilot 3.5 EX 2016

FOR SALE – 2016 HONDA PILOT EX (USA SPEC) – AED 19,000

I’m selling my 2016 Honda Pilot EX, USA spec, with 323,000 km.

This isn’t an easy car for me to sell. I bought it for AED 39,000 and, as I really liked the car and planned to keep it for many years, I decided to fix almost everything that needed attention rather than just doing the minimum to keep it running.

I’ve spent around AED 35,000 on repairs. Some of the major work already done includes:

Engine water pump replaced

Engine oil leak fixed

Transmission oil leak fixed

Lower arm replaced

AC compressor replaced

Radiator replaced

Engine fans replaced

Spark plugs replaced

Ignition coils replaced

Fuel injectors replaced

Oxygen sensor replaced

Axles replaced

Bearings replaced

Transmission flushing done twice

Alternator replaced

All engine mounts replaced

Transmission mounts replaced

Most of the replacement parts are original. The spark plugs, coils and axles were replaced earlier using non-original parts.

I bought this car when quite a number of things were already failing. I could have sold it or done only the necessary repairs, but I genuinely liked the Pilot and wanted to make it a dependable family car. That’s why I went ahead with all these repairs and paid for them myself.

A few things I also want to be upfront about:

The shocks may need changing at some point, but I don’t consider it urgent.

The hood needs some paintwork.

The screen sometimes glitches.

The tyres are still in good condition and are just over a year old.

The check engine light is still on, probably spark plug, oxygen sensor, haven’t cause any issues during my ownership.

Apart from these points, it’s been a reliable family car and I’ve had no reason to regret buying it.

I’ve already invested AED 39,000 to buy it and another AED 35,000 to fix it because I intended to keep it long-term. It’s not easy to let go after putting that much into it.

Unfortunately, I now have an urgent need for cash, so I’ve decided to sell.

Price: AED 17,000 for QUICK SALE

I believe the next owner will appreciate the amount of work already done on this car. You’re welcome to come and inspect it, bring your mechanic and check everything for yourself.

I’m not hiding anything, and I’d rather deal with someone who understands what they’re buying.

First serious buyer to view and agree gets it. Thank you.
