I'm thinking about buying a used 2000 or newer Odyssey. Anyone here have any advice or experience with one??? Thanks in advance!!!

There is a safety recall on the ignition switch which can cause the car to die in traffic if it is not taken care of. Make sure it is resolved. I have a friend with the same year/model and he has over 230k miles on it and it still looks good and runs out good.

We’ve got a 2000.
Love it. Never been in for anything major. There is also a SB on the electric sliding doors I found out about when one of ours stopped working. No big deal to do. Mainly just opening up the door and frame panels and sanding the paint off some ground points for better contact. Ours has been like the Energizer Bunny. Oil. Tires. 150K, and it keeps going and.....

Got a ‘94 Accord too. Same thing...
Just like the 300D.

I have a 2002. Its been a great car and has 50,000 miles on it. Only problem is that during the break-in period it would fishbite when cruising on the interstate. Dealer replaced something and the problem went away. Other than that no problems. Lots of interior room and the wife loves it.

What kind of mileage are you getting??? Also, what is fishbite???

We purchased a certified used 99LX in '02 w/ 50k miles. Although service records complete and up-to-date at dealership as maintained by prior owner, at 63k miles, transmission was replaced under warranty and EGR valve modified per TSB. It has been troublefree and flawless since then and is a great way to travel. Installed a DVD/flip down screen system to enhanced experience.

97 SL500 tri blk
sprt pkg1
29k miles

99 LX cnynstnslvr
98k miles

Sorry for the fishbite metaphor. Its like taking your foot on then off the accelator in series 5-6 times and much faster than the foot could actually perform. Hope someone can explain it better than that.

Mileagewise...20ish on the highway maybe 14 around town. Thats my guess since I dont drive it that much. Its always loaded with little munchkins(kids) eating doritos and and dropping gummy bears while watching a video. Kinda like a rolling nursery.

Its a great car. I guess there are good and bad in all cars, but to reiterate, no problems since the dealer repaired the whatcha-ma-call-it.
