Front and rear bumper damage suggest it was rear ended and shoved into another vehicle in front of it, most likely at a stoplight. Sounds more than a "fender bender" to me. Another thought may be the vehicle is exhibiting an intermentent problem the dealership was unable to fix, so previous owner traded it in. Anyone selling a vehicle after only 4,200 miles is either a bit flaky or trying to get rid of a problem. |

Replying to: olivegreen (Nov 11, 2007 5:51 am) I don't buy the story that the original owner wanted to trade up to leather. A dealership could have easily sold them the EX-L from the get-go. And $4,000 in damage? That's quite a lot. At this price, I'm going to be a passing. Just get a brand new one for a few grand more, and call it a day. |

Seriously, jokes aside, we just bought our second because we liked the first one so much. My question is why can't I sell my 1st. I priced it way below blue book, TMV, etc ($13,400). It's a 2003 EX, excellent condition, 63K miles, garaged, super clean inside and out. Hardly a nibble! What gives? Is it the economy, supply/demand? Hmmmm. Anyone, ideas? Advertised on Craig's list (dallas) and cars.com and parked at used car lot on base and off. I'm having buyer's remorse about the new one just because the old one has nothing wrong and is still so great. What can I say, persuasive wife.

Replying to: m6hatch (Dec 01, 2007 11:51 am) In theory, diesels sound like a good idea for the future, but I question whether the American market would adopt. I got a diesel Jetta about 6 months ago, and a lot of comtemporaries looked at me like I was nuts; many people may not be willing to change from engines they are familiar with. |

I'm looking to buy a used Odyssey and was wondering what the difference is between the LX and EX models and what year did the sliding door windows open and what year did the engine drop from 6 to 3 cylinders on the hwy? Thanks for any help! Cya

Replying to: cya1 (Jan 04, 2008 8:59 am) The EX adds to the LX: alloy wheels, power sliding doors, different cloth, a CD changer, and a few other small things. I would avoid the 2005 models; I remember reading about a lot of problems with the first batch of them.
