Replying to: mirth (Jun 17, 2005 11:50 am) If Honda's early cars were built as well as the motorcycles, I can see how that company grew as much as it did since then. But as used cars, you pay for the expectation of quality. A Honda makes sense only if you KNOW it's been maintained and trouble-free. They're incredibly strong as used cars. I recently borrowed a 2000 Accord LX 5sp from a dealer and showed it to a friend at work who I thought needed it. He thought so too and wound up buying it. When I drove it, I began to understand why people like these cars so much. It felt incredibly solid and was fun to drive. Perfectly sized, too. Now if they brought back the wagon... -Mathias |

Replying to: rroyce10 (Jun 17, 2005 3:33 pm) While the 00 Odysseys are bringing $10 at the auctions, the 2000 Villagers with normal miles are doing $6-7 with leather and all, and can be had for $1,200 north of that at a dealership near you. That's without the magic seat and the Honda name, but with a Nissan drivetrain and comparable reliability. To me, that's an easy choice. Just some food for thought. -Mathias |

You can get a great deal on a used car, relative to the auction prices... a real steal.. And, it still might not be a good value... '00 Odysseys for $10K might be a good deal... but a poor value in my book..

Replying to: kyfdx (Jun 18, 2005 10:25 am) Nice vehicles, but money and payments talk ... the Villagers will be history while I'm still trying to convince someone what a good buy the Ody is, especially since they have been lookin' at 01 and 02's for a little more and less miles .......... Terry

Replying to: rroyce10 (Jun 18, 2005 5:52 pm) I agree, a Quest/Villager reepresents good value for the money but they are still slow sellers compared to Odysseys or Siennas. " It's a Mercury" " Well, it's really a Nissan in disguise" " Yeah...call me when you get an Odyssey in my price range" But, I don't get that many payment buyers either.

Replying to: isellhondas (Jun 19, 2005 5:13 am) Aaaah yeah .l.o.l.. people don't go to Ford stores to buy a Mercedes .... No one is knocking any type or model, were talking the "broad market" .. Ody's are great vehicles, but we're using them as an example .. that said, with all things being equal, a clean Quest/Villager will be loooong gone before an Ody .. the difference.? price .... Getting someone to spend $8,9/$9,5 on a vehicle is alot easier than $12+ because $10,000 is like a watermark in the pricing market ....... of course, your always going to find the folks that have "Honda" tattooed to their foreheads and that's always what they will buy, period - and that doesn't make it good and that doesn't make it bad, it just makes it what it is .......... Terry. |

I'll try to steer my customers on a tight budget toward a Villager or Quest because I do believe they are a lot of car for the dollars. My point was, I'm usually not successful in doing this. |
