Used Honda Pilot for Sale in Brooklyn, NY
Plaza Honda keeps used Honda Pilots on the lot at 2740 Nostrand Avenue, from HondaTrue Certified late models to value-priced earlier years. It is Honda's three-row, eight-passenger SUV, the one families buy when a crossover is too small and a minivan is not the plan, and here is how to pick the right year and trim.
What a used Pilot gets you
Most used Pilots on the market come from the 2016 to 2022 generation, with a 280-horsepower 3.5L V6, seating for up to eight, and front- or all-wheel drive depending on trim. The redesigned 2023 and newer Pilot is boxier, roomier, and more capable, with a 285-hp V6, a 10-speed automatic, and a removable middle seat in the second row. Pick the generation first, then the trim, and compare the live prices below.

Every used Pilot generation, compared
| Model years | Powertrain and drive | Trims you will see | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2016–2018 | 280-hp 3.5L V6, 6-speed automatic on lower trims and 9-speed on Touring and Elite, front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive | LX, EX, EX-L, Touring, Elite | The lowest price of entry into a three-row Honda |
| 2019–2022 | 280-hp 3.5L V6, 9-speed automatic on most trims, front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive | LX, EX, EX-L, Special Edition, Touring, Elite, Black Edition, TrailSport (2022) | The value sweet spot: refreshed styling and updated tech, well below new pricing |
| 2023 and newer | 285-hp 3.5L V6, 10-speed automatic, front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive depending on trim | Sport, EX-L, TrailSport, Touring, Elite, Black Edition | The roomiest, most capable Pilot with factory warranty left |
For most Brooklyn families, a 2019 to 2022 Pilot is the smartest used buy: the refresh brought better infotainment and the 9-speed automatic to most of the lineup, and prices sit far below a new model. Go with a 2016 to 2018 if budget comes first and you are comfortable with an older interior. Choose a 2023 or newer if you want the redesigned cabin, the removable second-row middle seat, and the extra cargo space behind the third row, while letting the first owner absorb the steepest depreciation.
Certified or used
A HondaTrue Certified Pilot is a late-model vehicle that passes Honda's multipoint inspection and reconditioning and comes with extended powertrain coverage backed by Honda. It costs a bit more than a comparable used Pilot, and on a three-row family SUV that peace of mind is often worth it. See the HondaTrue overview for the coverage details.
A used Pilot is the lowest-cost way into three rows. Every used vehicle at Plaza Honda is inspected before sale and priced up front, the No Hassle way, and any remaining Honda factory warranty transfers to you as the next owner.
The honest part: check the transmission and the service records on older Pilots. The 9-speed automatic fitted to 2016 to 2018 Touring and Elite models drew complaints about rough or hesitant low-speed shifting, and the V6's cylinder deactivation can show up as a vibration or higher oil consumption on higher-mileage examples. None of that is a reason to skip an older Pilot, but it is a reason to read the vehicle history report, ask for service records, and spend real time at low speed on the test drive. A well-maintained Pilot routinely runs past 150,000 miles. If you only need two rows, a used Honda Passport parks easier and costs less; if the third row is the whole point, a used Honda Odyssey gives you more space and sliding doors for the same money.
What makes it work here
A used Pilot is the practical answer for a Brooklyn family that has outgrown a CR-V. The third row folds flat when it is just groceries and a stroller, then goes up for carpool or a trip to the in-laws. Available all-wheel drive helps on unplowed side streets in January and on snowy weekends upstate, and the V6 has no trouble merging onto the Belt Parkway or the BQE fully loaded. Up to 5,000 pounds of towing when properly equipped covers a small camper or a boat. It is a big vehicle for city parking, which is worth a slow lap around the block on your test drive.
The recognition, briefly
The Pilot has been a fixture in the three-row midsize class for two decades, and it is regularly cited for safety performance, resale value, and long-term reliability. Honda's reputation for durability is exactly what makes a used Pilot a sensible purchase, and it is what keeps resale strong when it is your turn to sell.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a used Honda Pilot cost?
It depends on year, trim, mileage, and condition. Earlier 2016 to 2018 models are the most affordable, 2019 to 2022 models sit in the middle, and 2023 and newer Pilots come closest to new pricing. The inventory above shows live Plaza Prices for every Pilot on the lot.
What is the best year for a used Honda Pilot?
For most buyers, 2019 to 2022. Those years have the refreshed styling, the 9-speed automatic across most of the lineup, and updated infotainment, at a price well below a new Pilot. Step up to a 2023 or newer if you want the redesigned model with the 10-speed automatic and the larger cabin.
How many seats does a used Honda Pilot have?
Eight on most trims, with a three-person bench in the second row. Higher trims such as Touring and Elite use second-row captain's chairs and seat seven. Check the individual listing to see which layout a specific Pilot has.
Do all used Honda Pilots have all-wheel drive?
No. The Pilot has been offered with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive throughout both generations, and on the 2023 and newer models AWD is standard on TrailSport and Elite but optional on other trims. If all-wheel drive matters to you, confirm it on the listing before you come in, or ask us to check a specific vehicle.
Is there a used Honda Pilot Hybrid?
No. Every Pilot uses a gas 3.5L V6. If you want a hybrid three-row, look at a used Toyota Highlander Hybrid at Plaza Toyota or a used Kia Sorento Hybrid at Plaza Kia, both a short walk away on Nostrand Avenue.
How much can a used Honda Pilot tow?
Up to 5,000 pounds with all-wheel drive when properly equipped, and 3,500 pounds with front-wheel drive. Towing capacity varies by year and trim, and a factory tow package is not on every vehicle, so confirm the setup on the Pilot you are considering.
What is the difference between a HondaTrue Certified and a used Pilot?
A HondaTrue Certified Pilot is a late-model vehicle that passes Honda's inspection and reconditioning standards and adds extended powertrain coverage backed by Honda. A used Pilot costs less, is inspected by our team, and carries any remaining factory warranty.
Does a used Pilot come with a warranty?
Any remaining Honda factory warranty transfers with the vehicle: 3 years or 36,000 miles bumper-to-bumper and 5 years or 60,000 miles on the powertrain from the original sale date. HondaTrue Certified models add extended powertrain coverage on top.
Can I trade in my current car and finance a used Pilot?
Yes to both. You can get pre-approved before you visit, and we will appraise your current car whether or not you buy from us. A current trade often covers a meaningful chunk of the price.
What is Plaza Auto Mall?
A family-owned Brooklyn dealership group that has operated on Nostrand Avenue since 1975. It brings five new-car brands together, Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, and Acura, along with certified pre-owned inventory from each and a multibrand used-car operation. More than 1,000 vehicles sit within a seven-minute walk, so you can cross-shop in one visit, with one trade appraisal and one finance office.
