Guy is laying it in thick I quit reading when he started rambling on about how much he seen new tires sell for on "ebay"

Why go to all the trouble to take pics then over crop them and not rotate them correctly.

I would request full untouched pictures before even thinking abut placing a bid on this machine he cropped off everything that would validate if it was restored or if its a true low hour machine, completely removed all the tell tale signs we need to see almost like it was planned this way "pimped up for ebay" if you ask me.

Every Pilot I have seen that had the honest "20 hrs use" on it still had the paint stripes on the tires if the paint is gone off the tires it has a lot more hours on it.

From what I can see it looks like a nice Pilot.

Shame he not smart enough to list all the parts and part numbers in his listing, something meaningful he really needs to lose the amateur line of shit.

Good luck to the new owner it would be nice to own a Pilot that appears to be that clean.

Looks like he has a bidding war going. It's over 7 grand now.
That's more than I paid for my Revolt with a honest 92 miles on it.

I saw the "bidding war". Buyer beware of shill bidding.... 20 or even 30 hours of time behind wheel will not wear the Honda paint off the steering wheel just below the grips as shown in the pics

The paint does wear if you use the hand restraints.
IMO..the center ribs on the front tires look too worn to be 20-30 hrs worth of use..

If you say that then provide a picture that would make it almost impossible to see the damage most wont notice, more I look at the pics more I think this guy needs moved to the evilbay mutt hall of fame...


Hope anybody bidding over 4k for this Pilot goes and inspects it before buying.

Someone ask him to stand it up and take detailed pictures of the bottom of the Pilot tell him you want untouched full sized pictures nothing cropped or photo shopped lets see what he sends.

Hello Sir, Could you stand the Pilot up and take detailed pictures of the bottom. Also pics of the skid pan that has no marks or dents? Send pics to XXXXXXXXXXXX@xxxxx

Thanks for your time.

IDK, I am not a pilot guy but it looks like two different Pilots. Maybe I am not understanding the parts. But are these both the front skid pan? If so one looks nice the other all marked up. Again not a pilot guy so I know little about them.

Looks like a nice restoration job to me. If you look above the battery, it looks like a section of frame tubing was missed with paint??

I have tires that have about 20 hours since new and have a ton more tread than those front tires, muffler pipe looks well used also, a friend of mine who owns a Honda dealer has a never used pilot(NEW) sitting in his showroom and to compair it to this one up for sale does not look even look close to it. 20 hours, barley a weekend since new?? I think it has hundreds of dollars in armor all alone, wonder if he is charging for that?

His reply.

How in the heck do I stand it up and take photos. I can shoot a couple from
the ground looking up. I will get to it this weekend and send them over.

Tell him re shoot the whole Pilot and stop cropping the shit out of the pictures

IMO the 20 hrs comment is his opinion and no based on any kind of fact he probably has no clue and 'to him' looks like 20 hrs use.

Is said friend selling this new pilot, or is he keeping it just to display?

Bidder with no history has bid it up to $7700 and still not met the reserve price.
I've seen this before; no history bidder wins and doesn't pay.
