...spring the extra $50.-- (<10%) of cost and go with the OEM components. I too have used after market stuff but with mixed results. I will only put Honda OEM stuff on my cars...

honda OEM parts.
 
another option... call another dealer. not all dealers will have the same pricing. may have web discounts as well. if no dealer is more competitive, the Private shop.
 
that price seems stratospheric.

I can speak for our 04 Odyssey EX:
 
We've had ours for the past 3 1/2 years, and it's been a great car. We haven't had any mechanical problems with it whatsoever (transmission included), and have only had to pay for maintenance items.
 
One thing I will say is that the brake pads did wear out faster than I thought they would (replaced them at 31K miles); however, we do live in a hilly area, and it is a rather heavy vehicle.

They do seem to be a common thing on these vans. Add that they use essentially disposable rotors and it is a touch of an annoyance but we're on our second Ody and quite pleased.

Advice needed: 2000 Ody w/ 67k mi or 2003 Ody w/ 103k mi ? by dwoozy

We're looking to buy a used Odyssey, and have narrowed down ours search to two cars:
 
A 2000 Odyssey with 67000 miles. The timing belt was replaced during the 65k maintainance (all done at Honda dealers). The transmission is original.
Price is ~ $10,500
 
A 2003 Odyssey with 103000 miles. Don't know about transmission or timing belt.
Price is ~ $9,000
 
Both seem to drive fine, and are in comparable condition. Autocheck gives both clean reports.
 
Does lower mileage or fewer years matter more? Also, do these prices seem reasonable overall?
 
Thanks everyone for your help!

The next question would be, "How many miles are YOU driving each year?" If you drive around 10K miles / year you would be better off with the more recent model, since you accumulate mileage slowly. If you spin off many miles a year, you have more 'reserve' in the older model...

Trouble with 2002 Odyssey wiper fluid squirting by auburnstheone

I am having trouble getting my front wiper fluid to squirt more than 6 inches - not enough for the whole wiper. Both ports seem to produce the same small amount. Fluid level is OK. Any ideas?, This is a 2002 Odyssey.

i'd open the hood and trace as much of the tubing as you can backward from the nozzles. i trust you'll find a kink somewhere.

Hi Folks,
I just had a similar experience. My rear sliding door to the Honda Ody spontaneously exploded. Fortunately, none of my kids were in. I wasnt sure what happened and would not even have bothered to look this online since I had already called GEICO and they sent their guy to change the window for a $50 co pay. But when he opened it up, he said that the regulator had broken and that I would need to have it replaced by the dealer. I guess people may not be reporting it because the burden of proof is sort of on you that you didnt have something break it besides it being easily replaced by theinsurance companies. Fortunately no one has been hurt but I cant fathom the implications if a little kid is sitting in the back when this happens.
Thought of adding the list for others to find something should anyone else report this.
