New or certified pre-owned Honda Pilot: which fits Egg Harbor Township families?

A new Pilot at Boardwalk Honda lets you choose the trim and color, with a custom factory order when none is on the lot. A certified Pilot comes with Honda’s certified-program coverage and a price set by its year, trim and mileage.

Egg Harbor Township families choosing a three-row Honda SUV have two ways to buy one, and each suits a different budget. Both routes run through Boardwalk Honda at 6807 Tilton Rd, Egg Harbor Township, NJ 08234.

Buy a new Pilot for the trim or certified for the budget at Boardwalk Honda

Boardwalk Honda sells new Honda, including the Pilot, and offers custom factory orders for new Hondas. HondaTrue Certified covers 2021 to 2026 Hondas with under 80,000 miles, with a 182-point inspection and a $0 deductible on covered repairs (American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (Honda Certified Pre-Owned) (2026)).

Choose new when the trim and color matter most. A custom factory order lets you pick the Pilot trim and color you want, which matters most when neither is on the lot.

Choose certified when the budget sets the trim. A certified Pilot’s price depends on its year, trim and mileage, so the same budget can reach a different trim from one car to the next.

What does a certified Pilot at Boardwalk Honda cost against a new Pilot’s MSRP?

A new 2026 Pilot starts at $42,395 for the Sport (2WD) and rises to $55,195 for the Black Edition (AWD), by Honda’s published starting MSRPs. A certified Pilot has no single price to set against those figures, because each car is priced by its year, trim and mileage.

Depreciation explains much of the gap. iSeeCars (2026) found average five-year depreciation improved to 41.8% across more than 950,000 five-year-old vehicles sold from March 2025 to February 2026. That figure covers all brands, not the Pilot.

What warranty comes with a Pilot bought new or certified at Boardwalk Honda?

A new 2026 Pilot carries 3 years or 36,000 miles of basic coverage and 5 years or 60,000 miles of powertrain coverage, according to Honda’s 2026 warranty booklet. A certified Pilot adds HondaTrue Certified limited powertrain coverage of 7 years or 100,000 total odometer miles.

HondaTrue Certified also adds non-powertrain coverage for 2 more years or up to 100,000 miles, starting when the New Vehicle Limited Warranty expires. Roadside assistance runs 2 years or 100,000 miles after that original warranty ends. The program includes 2 complimentary oil changes within 1 year or 12,000 miles, and a certified car must be up to 6 years old with less than 80,000 miles from its original In-Service Date at the time of sale (American Honda, Warranty Information (2026)).

For a used car without that program, New Jersey’s used car lemon law sets a floor for sales by a licensed dealer. It applies to cars no more than seven model years old sold for $3,000 or more, and it requires a written warranty of 90 days or 3,000 miles on cars at 24,000 miles or less, with a $50 deductible for each repair of a covered item (New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, Used Car Lemon Law consumer brief (2024)).

How much seating, cargo and towing does a Pilot at Boardwalk Honda offer?

Every 2026 Pilot seats up to 8 except the TrailSport, which seats 7. According to Honda’s published 2026 Pilot specifications, the Sport (2WD) tows 3,500 pounds and the Sport (AWD) tows 5,000 pounds.

On the Sport trims, legroom measures 41.0 inches in row one, 40.8 inches in row two and 32.5 inches in row three. Cargo behind row one is 87.0 cubic feet, behind row two 48.5 cubic feet and behind row three 18.6 cubic feet, with 111.8 cubic feet at maximum. The EX-L (2WD) carries the same 3,500-pound tow rating as the Sport (2WD).

For a family that uses the third row every week, the 18.6 cubic feet behind row three is the figure to check against the gear you carry.

Can you order a new Pilot in your trim and color at Boardwalk Honda?

Yes. We offer custom factory orders for new Hondas, so you can order a Pilot in the trim and color you choose when that exact combination is not on the lot.

Every 2026 Pilot is gasoline powered with a 3.5-liter six-cylinder engine, per EPA certification. The front-wheel-drive Pilot is certified at 22 mpg combined, the all-wheel-drive Pilot at 21 mpg combined and the AWD TrailSport at 20 mpg combined.

Which Pilot gives an Egg Harbor Township family the price, coverage and room it needs?

Starting prices and coverage put the two routes side by side.

Room is set by the model rather than the route you buy it by. The 2026 Sport (2WD) seats up to 8 and holds 111.8 cubic feet at maximum, the same maximum Honda publishes for the Sport (AWD).

When is a new or certified Pilot the wrong buy in Egg Harbor Township?

A budget under $42,395 will not reach a new 2026 Pilot, because that is the starting MSRP of the least expensive trim. A certified Pilot is the route to compare at that budget, and its price will depend on the car’s year, trim and mileage.

Fees add to the price, so the total matters more than the sticker. In a July 2026 one-star review of another dealer in this market, a buyer wrote: “Ripp offs they tried to charge my sis r 500 for a piece of plastic What a joke” (Google, 2026). Before you sign, ask for every fee as its own line on the sale document, and compare the total with the vehicle price.

A Pilot is also the wrong buy when it is more vehicle than the family needs. The FAQ below covers the other Honda SUVs we sell, with their figures.
