  1. We've stayed here several times: http://www.residencesatbiltmore.com

    It has always been a wonderful experience for us and it's exceptionally clean. It's a few miles from downtown.

     

    We've eaten at Early Girl too and it's delicious. We also enjoyed Tupelo Honey! My favorite though is 12 Bones!! You must try their ribs with blueberry chipotle sauce! Trust me, it sounds weird, but it works.

     

    We have stayed at The Grove Park Inn as well. It is a beautiful place. I still prefer the Residences at Biltmore.

     

    We did one of the trolley tours that departs from the Visitors Center and we really enjoyed it.

  2. The dealer initially quoted us just about that same price ($5200). After researching and inquiring about the "goodwill repair" they called Honda and came back with a quote just under $3200. I'd probably also go with the 100,000 mile option too as long as the shop is reputable and has been around a while. With the dealer one we went with, the warranty is good at any Honda dealership.

  3. We just had to replace the transmission in our '03 Pilot last month, so I feel your pain! Are you getting any kind of warranty with either transmission? Yes, this is a known problem with older Pilots also. Have you gotten a quote from the dealer? Some dealers will give a discount (called "goodwill service"). We ended up going that route with a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty. The service manager said our engine could go for another 150,000 plus miles.

     

    Good luck!

  4. I remember reading about someone doing this years ago in Dear Abby. A suggestion was made to put a sign by the front door reading "If you didn't bother to call, don't bother to knock!". I always loved that idea.

     

    OP, I hope your plan works!
