Replying to: ateixeira (May 24, 2007 7:26 am) But this vehicle will be a keeper for the next 5+ years so I'm not worried about re-sale. But people can get a great deal on year old used ones. Especially with alot of that warranty still left.   That stow-n-go seat is a great idea, but you guys are right, it is very uncomfortable to sit in.   The Honda Odyssey is just that: a Honda. They've proven their reliability. But with that proof comes a higher price tag.

Replying to: davethecarnut (May 24, 2007 9:26 pm) True, but buy new. Only the 5/60 portion of the warranty transfers to the 2nd owner. So if you want 100k powertrain coverage buy a new one.   Honestly? I see new GLS models for $19.8k.   Then I looked for year-old Sedonas, and they cost $16k to $18k, the higher priced models with more equipment.   So going from 19.8k to 16k after a year of use doesn't seem too bad, it's about par for depreciation nowadays. Honda and Toyota will do a little better, but there is an opportunity cost for the extra $ you pay as well.

Replying to: ateixeira (May 25, 2007 6:46 am) I don't share your affinity for used vehicles. You have no idea of their history. How many curbs have been hit, how many times the transmission was put into D while still creeping back in R, how hard the brakes had been ridin, all the jackrabbit starts, how many times someone drove over some obstacle that slammed the underside of the vehicle, scraped the oil pan, or so on......

Replying to: ocuihs (May 28, 2007 12:18 am) First, you had to pay extra for that extended warranty. You don't with the Hyundai. Second, anyone who buys a car and resells it in three years has more money than sense. And third, in five years, as the Hyundai's reputation continues to rapidly build, as it has over the past three to four years, there's a very good chance that those 60 month numbers you show will be worthless. Start living in the future rather than the past. Replies to this message: davethecarnut (May 28, 2007 8:34 pm) josm100 (May 29, 2007 11:33 am)

Replying to: hrngffcr (May 28, 2007 9:31 am) Plus, going back 60 months puts the Entourage back to the first generation Sedona category (true?). The Odyssey does have the better reputation, but the Entourage is a brand new model. Maybe we'll just have to see in the coming years.

Replying to: hrngffcr (May 28, 2007 9:31 am) I agree, you shouldn't buy a car for it's resale value. If you want to trade a car after 3 years just lease one. I just bought the Entourage EX for $5000 off retail and plan to drive it well outside it's warrenty, I am also delighted with this car. Almost all the sites covering this car are using Kia Sedona data to assess the entourage. I can buy a Kia Sedona EX with 16000 miles at car max for $17000, that's comparable with other dealerships. The used entourages with similar miles(the few that there are) are only two to three thousand off retail. Lets give the entourage a chance, it may not devalue at $1000 per ten thousand miles like Honda or toyota but I think it will be close.

Replying to: ocuihs (May 28, 2007 12:18 am) Just remember you get a bigger discount off MSRP to begin with from Hyundai.   I test drove a Sedona last night, even though I'd already purchased a Sienna. It does lag one step behind the Ody/Sienna IMO, though it's closer than Honda and Toyota would like to admit.   I sampled a loaded up EX with power everything, but to be honest I think the base Entourage that I saw for $19.7k makes more sense. At that price point, the flaws are all totally acceptable. Once you break $25k, you venture in to the "no excuses" price territory, and at that price level I'd opt for one of the Japanese-branded vans.
