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.

Honda Ridgeline to take two-year dirt nap before resurrection

Sun, 14 Jul 2013

Three years ago, Honda said there would be no new-generation Honda Ridgeline coming in 2011. In late 2011, when there was still no word on a replacement for the little truck that's been carrying on pretty much the same since 2006, within the space of a month both Honda's US truck planner and the CEO of American Honda said the Ridgeline would continue and that it was an integral part of the lineup.
But that doesn't mean it can't take a two-year timeout. A report in Ward's Auto says that the Lincoln, AL plant that builds the Ridgeline will cease its production in September, 2014 and a new one won't arrive until 2016. That's a walk-back from when the plan was to have the current truck run until a week before the next-generation truck went into production. Even so, Honda still says the Ridgeline isn't going away forever, a company spokesman telling Ward's, "Ridgeline continues to be an important part of our lineup."
2016 is a long way away, though, and we all know how quickly a product line put into a coma can end up suffering fatal consequences. Even though we keep talking about the Ridgeline, perhaps what Honda is actually saying is that the small pickup market is important to them, and they're working on a way to take better advantage of it than the Ridgeline was doing. We'll find out one way or the other in three years.

Fire up your 3D printer! Honda releases data for several of its past concepts [w/video]

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Futurists have been treating 3D printing like it is the second coming of the Industrial Revolution for years. Everyone will have a 3D printer in their garage and be able make practically anything at home before you know it, right? Well... not quite.
While we can imagine a piece of trim breaking on our car and being able to download the file to print a new one at home, the reality is that 3D printing is still in its earliest stages as a consumer device. Still, Honda is capitalizing on the technology by allowing people to make models of its concept cars at home.
The Honda 3D Design Archive currently consists of five models based on the Fuya-Jo, FSR, Kiwami, Puyo, and NSX concepts. The printer files can be downloaded from the web and carry Creative Commons 4.0 licenses, which allow them to be freely shared. Honda promises that more files will be added to the archive soon.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
