2004 Honda Odyssey Exl Mini Van - Leather And Dvd on 2040-cars
Winter Haven, Florida, United States
|
This is my Wife's 2004 Honda Odyssey EXL van. We are the second owners, we bought it in 2005 with about 15,000 miles on it. It has been our faithful and loyal family van ever since. We have always changed the oil every 5000 miles.
Every mechanical system works on the van, from the cold A/C to the DVD entertainment system. It drives great and still gets about 18 mpg on the highway. You can tell from the photos it still looks very nice. Here are the things you need to know: - the van has been in two accidents, both were minor rear end hits where someone hit the rear of the van. Both times the bumper cover had to be replaced and repainted. The 2nd time they had to replace the rear hatch. The glass didn't break but the metal was dented enough that it had to be replaced. For that reason, both bumpers are near perfect, which is not usual for a 10 year old car. - the power doors work fine, except when you shut them, you have to use the remote or the buttons on the dash, pulling the door handle will not make them shut. - there is a dent on the front drivers side fender, you can see it in one of the photos. A horse got a little too close to the van at a 4h horse show and left a dent. The paint is not damaged. - we replaced the carpet last year (from the dealer), but since then it has stains. What can I say, we have three kids, spills happen. - the drivers front leather seat has a small tear and the arm rest seam is starting to give. - there are rock chips on the hood, you can see these in the photos as well - the car is due for its timing belt change, this is an important maintenance item that should be done as soon as possible. If you are handy, the kit costs $315 from Honda. If you have the dealer do the work, it be around $900 for the service. None of this should be surprising for a 10 year old family van, just I wanted to detail everything you will find with the car so that there are no surprises. I am confident, with regular maintenance, that this car will be a great car for its next owner, as it has been for us. Bid with confidence, I have a 100% eBay rating. |

eBay Find of the Day: 1985 Honda City Turbo II is JDM forbidden fruit you can own
Fri, 14 Feb 2014It's always fun to cruise different global eBay Motors sites and check out the cars that we never got here. Thankfully, America's 25-year import limit on cars means that some of the rarities from the 80s are finally legal on these shores. This 1985 Honda City Turbo II is a great example of a fun, little car that we never got new but can be made legal here now.
The City was basically the Japanese company's '80s equivalent of today's Fit, albeit significantly smaller. The little urban runabout was so popular in its basic form that Honda decided to take things up a notch and turbocharge it. That car sold enough to warrant an even higher performance version called the Turbo II, which added an intercooler and the flared fenders you see here. The latter helped it earn the nickname "bulldog" for its boxy, aggressive appearance.
Honda claimed at the time that its little 1.2-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder produced 109 horsepower and 118 pound-feet of torque with a five-speed manual. In a car that weight just 1,620 pounds, you can imagine it was a very entertaining little package.
Consumer Reports' first motorcycle reliability report finds Japanese brands ahead
Sat, 22 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has released its first ever study of motorcycle reliability, and students of its ratings on cars might notice a suspicious similarity - Japanese brands require fewer repairs than the leading American or German brands.
The study analyzed the reliability of 4,680 bikes owned by CR subscribers and found that Yamaha had the best ratings, with just one in ten bikes built between 2009 and 2012 requiring a repair over a four-year period. The makers of the R1 and R6 sport bikes were closely followed by Kawasaki and Honda, while one out of every four of the rumbling bikes from Harley-Davidson experienced an issue. BMW had the worst rating of the brands represented, with one in three bikes having problems.
According to CR, neither Suzuki nor Triumph owners provided enough information for a reliable rating. Based on the responses received, though, Suzuki would have finished with the other Japanese brands and Triumph, being English, would have been one of the less reliable makes.
Honda exec says US market near capacity, could hurt subprime buyers
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Is there a point in the US auto industry where companies should start considering the welfare of their customers ahead of selling more cars? American Honda Executive Vice President of Sales John Mendel thinks that level exists, and we may be getting very close to it.
According to Automotive News, Mendel believes that finding more customers in the market could require pursuing subprime buyers and offering longer-term loans. However, he refuses to use those tactics. While selling models this way can improve things briefly, the strategies hurt resale prices and lower vehicle profits over time. The company won't do "stupid things in the short-term that damage the person who bought yesterday," he said to Automotive News. "It's a very, very short-term tactic especially in the subprime area."
American Honda, which combines the Acura and Honda brands, has seen market share decline from 9.7 percent to 9.1 percent through July 2014, according to Automotive News, and Autoblog's By the Numbers stats showed it posted falling sales in five of the seven months with data this year. Though, Mendel claims that was partially because the company focused on retail sales over fleets. The delays of the launches for the Honda Fit and Acura TLX likely didn't help either.
