Thanks Zoo. Fiscal responsibility now dictates that I no longer splurge on things that lose money...atleast I'm trying not to. I did a quick search for 2004 MDX with tech packages...and they hold their value quite well. Some dealers are asking $50K for one with similar mileage. Crazy. Mid $40's is the low price. Hmmm...

The Pilot is a fantastic family-mobile. So much space for people and cargo. Very well thought out cubby holes etc. The 2004 didn't have the TPMS, side curtain airbags, sunroof, DVD system available...and I did not like the column shifter...so off I went to spend more on an MDX.
