I lost all my self esteem and picked up a 2010 with 48K miles. So far so good. Very comfortable and roomy. I already built a deck using it to pick up materials.
I bought an 07 in June, 194,000 miles. It runs like a new van and after 5,000 miles no issues...great van. I am usually alone when I drive, but I like minivans and had to have a Honda once in my lifetime. I have had a few Chrysler Town and Country vans, only one was a bad deal. Worst was a used Astro van. I have had an Aerostar and a Windstar too. The Aerostar was brand new in 1986 and was a sweet ride. My feelings and self-esteem ? Ah, c'mon, man! I just like minivans. I also have had 4 VW Microbuses, a '66, two '68s, and a '69. I like vans! But also I have had like 20 trucks and 90 cars. Yeah, took me 54 years of driving to get all that done.
Hey James. I like minivans too although I’ve never owned one. I’ve dreamed of owning an Odyssey Touring for a long time. I’ve owned several Lexus LX470’s but I like the options and the space of the Odyssey van!!
Hello I’m thinking about buying a 06 have you had to replace your timing belt or water pump or anything major? Just curious. I’m also coming from a 04 got totaled in a wreck. I miss it so much that was my baby baby.😂 lol
I'm looking at a 2007 Odyssey for our daughter for $2500. At a dealer I've dealt with before and are pretty good about negotiating. I've had 3 Town and Country vans. all with stow and go seating. I like those because I use the vans as wok horses and like the cargo space while allowing a seat to be pulled from the floor for extra passengers. Usually by myself so not often I need the extra seat. They were all good vans.
Just got a 2007 Odyssey and Just turned 50 years old IDGAF what I drive as long as it doesn't leave me stranded on the side of the road like American cars do I am strictly a Honda and Toyota guy now
I bought a used 2005 Honda Odyssey with 190 k miles. Still runs wonderfully. It has its hiccups here and there being 18 years old but it always seems to resolve itself. With regular matience I'm excited to get many more years out of it. I love my Odyssey, it's my first car and I'll be an Odyssey owner for the rest of my life
@@cbarkinsI just bought one too. $2000 197000 bad transmission burns oil from a leak. Ac doesn't work. I love it. Gets me around town . Car shield ready.
Original owner, 2007 . Currently 197000 miles. So far very reliable. Change oil synthetic 0W20 and good filter every 5000 miles $35.00. DIY. Drain and fill transmission every 10,000 miles $45.00 DIY. Change Power Steering DIY. Changed timing belt at 90,000 miles and 149,000 with coolant at dealership. Will try to get 250,000 miles on all my cars. Change plugs every 100,000 miles. Iridium NGK DIY. Change air filter every 10,000 miles DIY. Biggest concern is the reputation of the longevity of Honda Transmissions. Hoping for the best. Engine is solid. No oil consumption. My wife drive a CRV 2011 101,000 miles. Very reliable also. Keeping my fingers crossed. Best feeling is no car payments for over ten years.
I’ve driven and owned everything. High end sports cars to old school vans and trucks. I will say this without hesitation-the 05-07 Odyssey is the best deal in the used market for any vehicle in the entire spectrum. The fact you can get these for 5-6k with 100k miles -if you get a good serviced example with records….it is insane value. They have a great style in this era. People are getting 15-20k for crappy 90s American gas guzzler conversion vans with 200k on them right now. The quality of the engine, interior on EXL touring and features/comfort …..it’s insane they sell for what they do.
I bought a 2007 Honda Odyssey several years ago and still have it. It's as good as can be expected. The air conditioner didn't work when I bought it. I never fixed it. The one sliding door gives me trouble, I just don't use that one. It's 16 years old and has 85 thousand miles on it. I had a new water pump and timing belt put on it so I don't worry about the timing belt breaking because that would ruin my engine. I love the way this van handles and the space. I took the back seats out so I can use the van for hauling things and fishing equipment to go fishing.
🤣🤣 that’s good to hear!! God bless you! I have 2 and most of the time I think that’s enough 🤣 How long have you had it and any issues or recommendations you have for us?
I'm researching the Honda Odyssey. Looking at a 2007. $2500. 220K miles. I think it might be a good vehicle for our daughter. Hopefully it is. Can't afford to go any higher on price. Good video. Thanks for the info.
I need this minivan I recently met a girl and I like her I need a minivan so I can store in my feelings and I will get the odyssey to pay tribute in your name👊🏾
@@cassguenther749 Good luck! This was the best upgrade after living in a 99 CR-V. Loved the thing especially since it was manual but unfortunately I wanted something bigger and so I bought this van from my family to continue the vanlife in SoCal. I just changed all the seals along with the timing belt and water pump on mine last weekend. So I hope it'll still last on my end. Very easy cars to work and maintain on and highly recommend getting one if the price is right.
Great video composition! Keep up the good work, but no too informative on issues with Odyssey Gen. 3 05-10 and what to look for before buying one. I'll give u a hand on that. 1. 05-07 came with a weak tranny design, Some 07 and all 08-10 came with a more robust tranny. 2. Gen.3 LX and EX doesn't have VCM. While EX-L and Touring cane with VCM. VCM stands for Variable Cylinder Management. VCM if not deactivated with a called "muzzler" tents to destroy ur rings which create a "burn oil issue, + misfires", this is the most important item on the list, check for oil consumption, ******skip if burning oil****** ring replacement is not cheap. As well it chew ur rear mount like a chewable candy. Make sure timing has been replaced at least within a 100k or 10 years time frame. Broken belt on this is a goner. 3. Look for water intrusion thru the roof seams a common problem on these Gen 3, which if not fix can create electrical issues. Usually water leaks are located by the passenger or driver footrest or trunk area. 4. Sliding door rear latching mechanism and door actuator issues. - draining parasite effect. Easy fixes watching RU-vid. Broken wire on the sliding door means not maintenance. Lubrication is a must once a year with white lithium grease. Rollers need to be replaced if there movement on the door when open. 5. Spout valve/ VTEC solenoid - leak, alternator 1# killer 6. Record on transmission fluid drain and fill ( a must for transmission longevity) 7. If it has a hitch make sure has a transmission cooler.
Solution Problem #1 To circumvent the problem with 05-07 weak tranny simply install a super cooler cost less than $240. Gen.3 is 2005 LX-EX model year introduced the third-generation Odyssey.
Love my 2005 Honda Odyssey EXL with over 250,000kms. So comfortable on those long trips and grear handling for everyday driving. You are right about the premature wear on the rear engine mount.
Bought a 07 3 years ago and at first it was going to be used for towing a quad but my son end up liking it and I decided to do a fully reconditioning the Van, it had 173,000 miles on it and looked like just about any other Odyssey thats on the Road today with cloudy headlights and some light body damage and dirty inside also only the very minimal maintenance has been done I normally dont buy use cars with this age and miles but the original owner was my girlfriend and its only been to Honda for anything and everything that became a problem, Before starting the Reconditioning i drove it several time from California to Nevada climbing Baker grade to see overall the Condition Of the Engine and Transmission and both did very well along with getting 29MPG on a number of trips back and forth with that information I started the Reconditioning of the Van which Looks New and Rides new inside and out Drove it to Yellowstone with just me and my Girlfriend and the Extra room of a Van Was great for a week and few day trip with Food and clothes and Everything Else, seeing people in there cars over packed and stuff and with limited space reminded me on how much of a good idea the Van was even if i have only one kid also the range on a tank of gas is Excellent the Tank is rated for 21 gallons but once the pump stops i can put in an additional 4 gallons with a total of 25 gallons i have recorded over 680 miles on a tank of gas on the highway dont think you can get that on a SUV you dont have to be a soccer mom to take advantage of this Van and as a man i have to give props where props are Due and the 3rd generation Odyssey is a Good Vehicle.
Thank you for the details. I’m looking at purchasing an 09 Odyssey Touring but it’s overpriced at $9400 with 165K miles. I do love the extra space and the gas mileage!! I currently own an SUV
@@renardfields2975 That is a bit high for the year and miles i mean is it extra clean or een refreshened up or something special does it have all its repair records?
Did you check to see if manufacturers maintenence was followed asI believe it has an INTERFERENCE engine and requires the timing belt be REPLACED every 60k-105k? 2000 dollar bill if you are lucky enough to find a dealer who will do it for you.Of coarse you could chance it but if it slips,breaks,or comes off engine is junk!The pistons smash into the valves.Check it out man it's REAL!
@@rhpphr11 the timing belt was the first maintenance I did on the van and completely went through it from there taking about 2 years to get it up to my standard as in looks, interior, exterior and reliability, the van is mainly used for road trips or long distance travel so everything has to be on point and given the age and miles a lot of parts where replaced even though they didn't fail yet and glad i did cause it runs really good and just came back from Las Vegas and drove from Cali to Nevada drove around Vegas for a few days and drove back to Cali on a single tank and no mechanical issues, I put 680.0 miles on the tank and got 29.0 MPG and thats a mix of mostly Highway driving with some city driving as well if it was all Highway I could had gotten well over 30 MPG...not bad at all.
We lost 3000 rentals during the fire here on Maui so so a friend of mine had one of these Odysseys in 07 and I got it for free just had to pay the back taxes which was about $1,200 of course the rear doors didn't work so I fixed that and then I got a good car now I'm living in my Odyssey and I definitely have no self-esteem
While I have a great appreciation for silly humor, that "Lost all dignity and self-respect" crack was ass.. lol ~these vans rule the highway and town more than any S2k. Just remove the seats in the back (15 minute job) and they're the best little handyman vans on the planet.
Dude the self esteem part, I was just blessed with a New born alhamdulilah and I have an Altima 2010 with the car seat it's too tight but this self esteem part man oh man
Simply stated you over estimated it's mileage. It's good but not great. I justify this as mileage per person and it makes me feel better. Simply stated, if you bought leather it didn't last. I thought I was abusive but when I looked to buy a used van they were all damaged in the same way. The door tracks will need to be replaced. It's not hard or expensive. It is relatively inexpensive to repair. Compared to my other cars this is cheap. Now that my kids are grown (and gone) this is the best in-door truck you could ever own!
The rust on the back wheel wells seen in the video is very common for these 05 Hondas. Nearly every one I see on the road has that issue with rust in that spot. Luckily mine aren't too bad
The only issue with this van which I had 2 of them . Is that electric sliding doors on both vans the doors went out on me . The first was fixed at the dealer out of pocket. The 2nd time I said F this . I put the doors manual . Got rid of both of them. And bought a SUV

@@strongtowerman9661If it has been done properly they should be falling all over themselves to show documentation to prove it right?Otherwise Remove dust covers and inspect it
Unfortunately it is not the only item to inspect.Actually the tensioner for the timing belt is the main culprit that looses its ability to maintain the tension leading to belt slippage/engine damage so you could inspect the belt and find it is new but they may not have replaced the tensioner or replaced it with one of the many aftermarket products(cheap) that will fail earlier than oem
And I really must be a true kid of the keystone state. As soon as I saw where he was parked, I thought to myself "That looks like home." Sure enough, I saw the license plates😅😅😅😅
😂im looking at a 2010 EXL, Rootbeer-Rose color. It is mint with 145k on it here in vegas. They want 9000 and ill give em 7500 out the door and see what they say.
Both are sitting in the garage patiently waiting for their turn run wild! I should be doing an update video soon. I've recorded one 3 times now and have had either audio or video problems, so I'll have to redo them. Stay tuned! Thanks for your support!
Touring 05-07 model came with a optional tray + cup holder, no seat, 08-10 and some 05-07 have the foldable jump seat that when folded it has a small tray and cup holder as well.
I just let 1 get a away from me. It was a 05 with navigation and leather seats and DVD player in the back. 94k miles for 4k. Paint was chipping/fading in some spots and ac needed to be pumped up again. Kind of wish I would have bought it. Everything else in the market is pricey/beat up and tons of miles
my favorite feature is the sliding doors an holds 6 to 7 people,, i have a suburban sure bigger an stronger, but older an so out of date.. i wanna use it also as a fuck mobile
Tell the people also about the bad issues that car has I own one. The friking think was likinge from the top of the engine to the bottom it my be a nice comfortable car but when the time belt go out you are f..CT up I am glad I sold it I had to put 2 quarters oil per week even after it cost me 700 dollars to to the licking repairs good luck friends
