I'm in the process of buying an '03 Pilot from a dealer. It's a great deal and they'll take my trade which makes it even better. I drove the Pilot home from the dealership last night. On the way to work this morning the oil light started flashing. I checked the oil and its full. I called the dealer and they said they'd come pick the Pilot up and trailer it an hour back to the dealer to fix it.

I've heard Honda's run forever...and so far I've only had problems w/ my two other previous American cars (Ford Mustang & Olds Aurora *both used*). I know it's a risk to buy used, just like its a risk for the dealer to take my trade. I do believe I'm getting the better deal, but I'm concerned over the oil light issue.

Any ideas on what the oil light problem may be and what's your feedback on purchasing this Honda? Thanks!!
The vehicle is from a coastal area, but I checked the VIN on Carfax myself and it guaranteed no flooding or Carfax would buy the vehicle back.

Supposedly, the Pilot was owned by an older couple who mainly towed it behind an RV.
I just saw on the Carfax report where the Pilot was only listed for sale last week. So, thankfully, it doesn't appear to have been sitting around that long :-)
