Back to the OP and what to do financially.

January 2019 I bought a used 2013 Honda Pilot because we needed a third vehicle with two teen drivers in HS.  Wanted 4.x4 and tow package to tow about 4500-5000 lbs.  Pilot checked all the boxes.  had about 80k miles on it.  Fast forward to September and I had a check engine light and soon thereafter got a battery warning light (red batt light, not the amber one).  Car had about 100k at that time.

I decided to do what several mentioned and took it in for a 100k tuneup and to run diagnositcs on the engine.  Took it to a Honda dealer and it was about $1300 for a new alternator, new plugs, wires and a few other things.  The check engine light was popping due to a misfire in one of the cylinders while accelerating. Service manager said he'd have to get in to the engine block itself to do further maint.  I said wrap it up.  I'm fine as is.  Bottom line was I spent a few bucks but was expecting another 75k-100k miles out of the PIlot.  One month later, I got hit by a German tourist vacationing in the states and the Pilot was totalled.  Money just pissed away.

I really liked the boxier older style Pilot more than the newer generation which came out around 2016.
