You are bidding on a 1999 Honda Odyssey with noreserve!  The opening bid is our cost forputting the van on eBay.  It currentlyhas 220,362 miles on the odometer.  Thespeedometer is slightly optimistic: 27MPH on the speedometer is actually 25MPH and 70MPH on the speedometeris actually 65MPH.  There is probably alinear mathematical equation you can use to figure that out but I’m not sogood at math (nor do I speed that much) to make a difference.  We are the third owners of the van.  Its first two owners were in Michigan, wherewe purchased it in 2005 (on eBay).  It then spent some years in New Mexicoand South Carolina before moving up to Ohio last fall.  So, it has only had to endure one winter inOhio.

It’s old.  14 yearsold and starting to show it.  The paintis original and in surprisingly good condition for a van that has never beengaraged.  It starts and runs, drives welland the front and rear A/C still blow cold. But, the check engine light is on so it will NOT pass an emissionstest.  I have recently taken it toChicago and back and still drive it to and from work almost every day.  The check engine light is on because of afault in the wiring for the front oxygen sensor heater and a hose broken to theevaporative canister.  I have replacedthe sensor twice so I know it is not the sensor.  Frankly I’m just too lazy to trace theproblem down.  As far as the canistergoes, I know what it does and don’t want to spend the money to fix it.  It doesn’t affect drivability and I still get19/20 MPG in town and 24 to 26 on the highway. The rear brakes make a little noise in the morning (I had them replacedtwo years ago).  It might be surface rustfrom sitting overnight or brake dust but again I’m too lazy to look intoit.  Sometimes the passenger window makessome noise on the way up depending on how long it’s been since I’ve cleaned thetracks.  Both of the sliding doors workbut have their minor issues from time to time; one needs the handle to bepulled harder than normal and the other, well, works, but takes a little moreeffort to close.  All the doors and liftgate seal and there are no water leaks.  Thepictures show a missing temperature control knob on the dash but that has beenreplaced.  We have gone without it for solong that we forgot to install the new one before we took the pictures.

There are stains on the carpets as you can see in thepictures.   The van doesn’t smell bad;it’s just been well used.  My wife took asteam cleaner to the seats and carpets a week before these pictures were takenbut like I said, it’s old.  Also, it hasbeen through 3 daughters and a dog on many VERY LONG road trips: thus the highmileage.  We are a former militaryfamily, and every trip to everywhere was a long one!   We replaced the transmission around 190,000miles and have been trouble free since. Tie rod ends and front stabilizer links were replaced about 50,000 milesago.  I bought two new tires for thefront last fall (which are now in the back) and the other two have a couple ofyears and about 20,000 miles on them. With the installation of the tires I had an alignment performed and thetiming belt changed as well.   I’m prettyfanatical about keeping receipts for any repairs I have done on my vehicles soyou will get a folder of receipts and information of everything we have haddone with this one.  It has had regularoil changes at 5,000 mile intervals (the most recent about a week ago) and Iplan to leave the Kenwood receiver in the dash. It is fully operational.  Theoriginal stereo, a shop manual (pictured) and a sun shade will come with thevan as well.  The only things in thepictures that don’t come with the van are as much gas as the gauge says and myNew Mexico license plate.

It comes pre-scratched and dented for your convenience.  One of my favorite things about this van(other than it just keeps running) is that if I get new scratches from somecareless bratty child in a parking lot, I’d never know! J  Anyway, the dent where the passenger doormeets the left front quarter panel was from a neighbor backing into it and thedent on the left front quarter panel near the top was from a deer running intothe van.  There are other scratches allaround the van as you can see in the pictures. There is a small chip in the windshield on the passenger side as well.  I’ll not try to hide anything about thevan.  I’ve been writing this descriptionfor weeks and as I think of things I add them to the description.  The last thing I want is for you to see thevan after agreeing to buy it and be surprised by something I failed tomention.  Despite the recall issues thelater body styles of Odyssey’s are encountering, this one is emergingunscathed.   No owner or passenger of this van has eversmoked.  If you have any questions pleasefeel free to contact us.  It has been atremendous vehicle for our family.

So why are we getting rid of it?  We now live in Lake County Ohio that has anemissions check requirement and I just don’t want to pay to get it fixed.  Also, we have three other vehicles and therereally is no reason to have a fourth when our children are too young to drive.  (My wife has her own Odyssey!)

This van is being sold as is.  There is no warranty, actual or implied.  The van mustbe picked up or arrangements for delivery must be made within one week (7 days)of auction completion.  You must also make arrangments for registration and insurance.

Carmakers ask Trump to revisit fuel efficiency rules

Mon, Feb 13 2017

Car companies operating in the US are required to meet stringent fuel efficiency standards (a fleet average of 54.5MPG) through 2025, but they're hoping to loosen things now that President Trump is in town. Leaders from Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota and VW have sent a letter to Trump asking him to rethink the Obama administration's choice to lock in efficiency guidelines for the next several years. The car makers want to revisit the midterm review for the 2025 commitment in hopes of loosening the demands. They claim that the tougher requirements raise costs, don't match public buying habits and will supposedly put "as many a million" jobs up in the air. The Trump administration hasn't specifically responded to the letter, although Environmental Protection Agency nominee Scott Pruitt had said he would return to the Obama-era decision. The automakers' argument doesn't entirely hold up. While the EPA did estimate that the US would fall short of efficiency goals due to a shift toward SUVs and trucks, the job claims are questionable. Why would making more fuel efficient vehicles necessarily cost jobs instead of pushing companies to do better? As it is, even a successful attempt to loosen guidelines may only have a limited effect. All of the brands mentioned here are pushing for greater mainstream adoption of electric vehicles within the next few years -- they may meet the Obama administration's expectations just by shifting more drivers away from gas power.

10 of 18 midsize SUVs earn 'good' IIHS side impact safety rating

Wed, May 18 2022

It's not terribly surprising that midsize SUVs earned better safety ratings than small SUVs in the latest side-impact tests performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Just how much better they scored, on the other hand, certainly raises an eyebrow. Ten out of 18 midsize SUVs earned the highest rating of 'good' in the stringent new test, altered for vehicles starting with the 2020 model year with a heavier barrier (4,200 pounds) that moves at a higher speed (37 miles per hour) and is fitted with a hard honeycomb frontal structure. By way of contrast, just one out of of 20 small SUVs earned a 'good' score.  SUVs that receiving 'good' scores were the Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX60, Lincoln Aviator, Mazda CX-9, Nissan Pathfinder, Subaru Ascent, Toyota Highlander, Volkswagen Atlas, Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport and Volkswagen ID.4. For EV fans, it's worth noting the ID.4 was the only electric vehicle included in the test. The Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse scraped away with 'acceptable' ratings while the Honda Passport, Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, Jeep Wrangler 4-door, Kia Telluride and Nissan Murano were deemed merely 'marginal' in the tough new test. Only two models — the Mazda CX-9 and Volkswagen ID.4 — earned a "Good" rating in every test category.  Interestingly, the Jeep Wrangler would have scored a 'good' rating if it were equipped with side airbags for the rear seating positions. It would likely be an engineering challenge to equip its removable top and/or doors with airbags, but the lack of that safety feature allowed the head of the rear passenger dummy to hit the vertical support of the top. Otherwise, the Wrangler scored good ratings across the board. The new Ford Bronco, which makes more allowances for side-impact safety, has not yet been tested.  The popular Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride SUVs stand out in the test with 'poor' ratings for driver pelvis injuries. The Nissan Murano, a vehicle last redesigned for the 2015 model year, was the only vehicle tested that received a 'poor' rating for its structure and safety cage. Videos of the tests of 12 of these 18 SUVs can be found on the IIHS' YouTube page.

YouTube viewers prefer BMW

Fri, Sep 11 2015

BMW owners sometimes get a bad rap as being snobbish, rude drivers, but according to a new study by the online marketing company ZEFR, Bimmer aficionados also have a close relationship with the brand's vehicles. With well over 4 billion YouTube views, the German automaker is the industry's king of the road online. Making the popularity even sweeter for marketers, 95 percent of those clicks are for fan videos, which represents loads of free advertising. BMW isn't the only automaker with such an extensive following. Honda comes in a close second with around 4 billion views, and Mercedes-Benz is just a little behind it. Among all brands, it's the norm for fan-made videos rather than the official ones to get the lion's share of the clicks, generally 95 percent or more. "YouTube has become a treasure trove for connecting with the right people for automakers," Dave Rosner, ZEFR marketing boss, said to Automotive News. Beyond just a popularity contest among brands, automotive videos are big business on YouTube, according to ZEFR's research. Enthusiasts are leading the way, too. Racing is by far the most-watched category with 895,000 clips generating a staggering 8.2 billion views. Classic cars are also a very hot topic with 305,000 videos getting 1.6 billion clicks. Surprisingly, when it comes to watching auto videos, sedans are most popular on YouTube with over 9 billion views, according to Automotive News. Meanwhile, SUVs, performance vehicles, and pickups were each around 3 billion or less. You can check out the full study for yourself, as a PDF, here. Related Video:
