Replying to: hause7 (Sep 19, 2008 1:03 pm) Awesome deal is right! By my estimate that about 13K off the MSRP of a similarly equipped 2009. Around here the dealers want that much for a 2007 LE with EVP1 and wouldn't budge even when I told them they were nuts and walked away. If I could have found a deal like you did I would have bought used.   As it is, after 2 months and 3Kmiles we are still quite pleased with our 2008 LE with EV2 and Audio upgrade. It is quiet and quick and gets excellent fuel economy.

Replying to: hansienna (Sep 19, 2008 3:21 pm) It was a Repo and bought at an Auto Auction here in the S.F. Bay Area, that's why they sold it so cheap to us. It also is missing it's second row seats but they ordered them and we are having them installed tomorrow. They were asking $25,000 but my grandma is a good negotiator   It is still worth $24,900 if we traded it in and $30,500 if the dealer wanted to sell it for that much. Check KBB. 08 Town&Country Touring's in my area are selling for $15-20K with under 30K miles.   Our van also has wheel covers but they are going to switch them tomorrow hopefully.

Replying to: hansienna (Aug 30, 2008 1:26 pm) Have to disagree here - both my wife and I agree that our '08 Ody EX has the most UNCOMFORTABLE driver seat of any car we have EVER owned. It is downright painful on trips over 45 minutes. Both of us are healthy and have no back problems (except when we drive the Ody on long trips)! The other seats are fine, just the driver seat is terrible.

Replying to: hause7 (Sep 19, 2008 4:42 pm) I'm in the Bay Area too, down in San Jose. At a couple of dealerships I told the guys in the used car departments they needed to talk to the counterparts in new cars if they thought their vans were so valuable.   A repo at auction with a missing second row explains something of the price though it sounds like they are giving you the seats with the price of the van. Still not a bad deal.   I also noted that while Toyota and Honda dealers wanted more than $20K for relatively barebone 2007 vans, the 2007 Chryslers and Dodges could be had in the low teens. Our problem was that as much as we disliked the 2008 models, the 2007 and older were much worse. My wife felt especially glad of our choice a few weeks ago at a Las Madres activity when a Chrysler T&C (the only American brand vehicle there) wouldn't start and had to get towed. Scenes like that are exactly why the Big Three are losing their shirts and have to beg the Government for bailouts.

Replying to: yatesjo (Sep 19, 2008 9:37 pm) Yup they had them already on order, and they just came in Going tomorrow to get them put in. We got it at Toyota Marin in San Rafael. Great dealership.   Here is a 0-60 video of our 07 I just made awesome power http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lbx8uDq7ZM Replies to this message: ateixeira (Sep 23, 2008 8:07 am)

Replying to: hause7 (Sep 19, 2008 10:47 pm) About 7 seconds, wow, not bad.   DCX vans depreciate quite fast. When I shopped I found new vans for $22k and 1 year old vans for $15k, or about 32% depreciation hit the first year.   And that's retail resale at $15k. Wholesale trade would probably be more like $12-13k.   There's no way the residuals are better. ALG has the Sienna well ahead of the DCX vans, too.

Replying to: hause7 (Sep 19, 2008 4:42 pm) hi Hause, wow, you are right that's an awesome deal that your grandma got for this baby. As you know I just bought the same one from toyota dealership at 5.4k more than what you paid for it. I'm so impressed. I'm now interested in the auto auction. How does it work? Did they have a base price before you place a bid. What're their fees associate with your winning bid? Does your bid include the license/registration and tax ??? We need a 2nd car, this might be where we 'd shop for it!   I think you got the best deal on this limited compared to all peaple that I know whom own one of these.

Replying to: hansienna (Jul 09, 2008 8:58 am) I have a 2001 EX odyssey at 125,000 miles, its on its 3rd transmission. Transmission slips in drive Transmission indicator light (D4) flashes on and off Engines revs from 1-4000RPM without touching the gas pedal Traction Control System will not disengage.   Chyrsler trans problem worse. Toyota is 6 dB quieter in cab, I will buy one next. There is a class action suit against Honda in Calif. over automatic transmissions.

Replying to: odysseyex2001 (Oct 20, 2008 12:55 pm) My sister's 2001 Odyssey EX now has 98,113 miles on original transmission with NO indication of any problems.   Our daughter's 1999 GC SE has 112,600 miles on original transmission with one repair: replace an "O" ring at a cost of about $ 200.   Please stop quoting problems that occurred with Chrysler transmission 15 years ago.

Replying to: hansienna (Oct 23, 2008 7:23 am) I wouldn't say it happened to Chrysler 15 years ago. My aunt's 1999 Town&country limited went through 2 transmissions in 104,000 miles . Our 05 went through a transmission before 40,000 miles , then other things went wrong, so we got rid of it for our older used 04 Sienna Limited.   To SiennaXle   We got it for that price because it was bought at an auction from the dealer, we didn't buy it from an auction. We love the new Sienna even more then our 04, which was very good to us in the 90,000 miles we owned it.
