I had a 2005 Odyssey with 239,000 miles when I sold it. The buyer loves it. I currently have a 2007 Odyssey with 202,000 miles. I use it daily. children drop off/ pickup, grocery runs, sporting events, camping trips, interstate road trips, beach trips (bike, surf board, umbrellas, chairs, fishing equipment inside).
I bought a 2009 touring for $5000 recently and I’m loving it...
how many miles? I'm looking to get one soon
@@WavyyyWonder probably 200K+. i recently saw one with 125K for $15K, yes $15,000.
@@equallywrong that's crazy! this market is insane smh
Recently lost an 01 after 16 years. A guy cut my son off and it was a total loss. My son broke down at the scene, we bought it when he was only a few months old. He was driving abs when I got to the scene he said "I started it and I ended it," Before breaking down in tears 😢. We replaced 01 with an 08 today. Already in love. Miss my 'ol reliable but happy to have a new 'ol reliable 😊. The History is real. Thanks for sharing.
We have a 2007 odyssey ex with 105000 miles ! New timing belt and water pump! And NGK spark plugs ! Great car! Lots of memories! Only have a few scratches ! Hard to let it go !
Thanks for sharing! I agree these cars are reliable, last long, and make good memories!
Bought my 05 touring with 140k from 3 years ago from original owner now it has 180k I got the timing kit done, new struts, and tranny flush , does not burn any oil, it shifts smooth and still runs like a champ
Great video, and nice to read the comments. I’m going to buy a 2010 touring tomorrow and feel reassured. And way more informed. I hope I do as well as the folk making the comments. All the best from an expat Britt settled in NS Canada!
I'm buying a 2009 Touring tomorrow, happy motoring with yours!
My 2007 Odyssey bought it new, now has +220K mi. Still run like a charm. It had a lot of minor issues, and I have to take care a lot of it to get a top condition.
If you keep the transmission and fluid changed and oil change it’s a winner 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 I love my odyssey 🙌🏾
And timing belt/waterpump, and muzzled if you dont want engine issues.
@@pinkfiffty3094 oh yea I’m talking more so off the smaller things people tend to forget since they think Toyota’s and Honda’s will last for ever without doing those small things 🤣
I bought an 08 odyssey for 2.3k!! I’m so happy the money I saved will go right back into it
Where did you find it? Currently looking for one
Well done... Excellent Vehicle. Scotty Kilmer says to get a Sienna as the Tranny's on the Honda's have unreliable Tranny's... He's not realizing that that was for the 2000-04 model. The 05 and above have an upgraded MUCH better tranny, totally reliable. I just bought a 2009 w/198k at auction for $1900 including fees. Has an engine noise (Video of it disclosed that, and it's the timing tensioner) Changed the WP and timing belt before driving today, now NO NOise and it runs EXCELLENT! $40k van for $2500! Leather and Sunoof, VERY Little rust which I took care of for $40 for the pint of color paint. Perfect VAN!
hell yeah I seen that also and I was like the way I seen dudes hook these cars up I'm like it's a machine , but man have you seen the bisimoto jump off ? sickening
I've blocked Scotty Kilmer. He's an Adam Henry.
The 2grfe engine in the Sienna has its share of problems: timing cover leaks, rubber oil cooler and vvt lines, coolant leaks, etc.
@@HombreMalo hey what does that mean? I've been suspicious of Scotty for a while...
@@quentinham5908 police code for A**Holes.
Key is add a TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER to whatever Honda V6 you have. The key to success. I also added rubbershocks (placed in between spring coils) in the rear, LED lights, VCM Muzzler (so the ECO doesn't come on.--Always driving on 6 cylinders. This saves your engine and transmission mounts. Engine runs smooth all the time).
Thanks for this detailed tour and review. Saving up to buy this soon
You don’t need to reflash the ecu if you change your wheels, just get new wheels and tires and either swap the TPMS from your old wheels to the new ones or buy new TPMS and install and program and that would work!!
Can't I use any tire and manually check my tires?
Yes, they are a deal. Disable the vcm using a product like the vcmtuner II and you'll be happy to own one. 190k miles now on my van and it's paid for .. great value. Will take to 250k miles at this point w/ the vcm disabled. Do a drain/fill on the trans every 15k after 80k miles and the transmission will last 300k miles.
You can install a ceramic resistor (20watt 80ohm) in series with the coolant thermostat. Your VCM will not ever come on. About 8 dollars on Amazon. I believe the VCM tuner is about $100. A 6 cylinder engine should run on all 6. You do not save any money by having the car back down to four cylinders. You will spend a lot more than that for repair bills. I installed this resistor 2 years ago.I have excellent pickup at 70 mph. Go to it. 45 minute job with no special tools .
@@maxjacobs7249 sure?
Apply to ‘08 as well? EX-L
Hey nice van I have a 2010 ex I just hit 312k on it. Its been good to us I do my owe work on it. Timing belts 3 now water pumps I turned my into a camper for 4, 2 adult 2 kids with go everywhere. I used mine for a Transportation company for few years been in 5 crashes Total it once still on road I want 500 k same engine and trans btw... good luck with yours
I love the sound of pickleball being played in the background! Good job on the video.
Great video! Helps alot
I have a 2006 EX with over 250K. Best vehicle I have ever owned. Installed a transmission cooler at 10K, and have never had issues. Warped rotors are common, lights do require frequent buffing to keep clear, and it's hard on tires. The EX did NOT have the run-flats or the cylinder deactivation system, but the interior isn't as nice.
Consider yourself lucky. The cylinder deactivation is a big problem and it's better not to have it.
Cloth seats are more comfy .....
@@Scott-hr7bn Yep. I have the cloth. Starting to wear heavily on the edges but still intact.
Hi which transmission cooler did you order?
@@Harlo86 I just had a local reputable shop install it. Never checked the brand.
Outstanding video. Great job and much appreciated. I am searching for a good van.
GREAT REVIEW😁😁😁 THINKING ABOUT BUYING ONE
I have a 2006 EX Ocean Mist Metallic w/ Mouse Fur Grey interior that we bought on sale at the end of summer 2006
No vcm! Comfy cloth seats! No giant hole in the roof! 280k at the moment
New steering rack, radiator. Replaced a few timing belts, a few motor mounts and a few power steering pumps
The best Honda Odyssey ever made 2005-2010. The seats specially in the middle row are more comfortable. Recline angle is comfy. arm rests on all seats. Windows are normal looking. Dash panel is very good. Lots of power supply, speakers everywhere, tons of cup holders. The plastic trims are more durable compared to the newer models.
Right, newer models look like a hearse.
This was the best video
Love my 06, got mine for $600 with minimal body damage, valve cover gaskets leaking with 146,000 mi.
Your VCM is probably reducing your airflow by planting oil in your catalytic convertors, there are 3 of them, and the rear bank and possibly downstream cat are getting plugged up. Happened with my son's 05 Odyssey. New cats and a VCM Muzzler have made a huge difference.
Put a VCM Tuner in it and the car comes alive. No more ECO light. Get rid of the run flats too.
Wow The CD thing is very cool
One other technical point here my friend… On the EX-L and touring models the engine has the “VCM” System which deactivates the rear three cylinders of the engine for better fuel economy. Honda also put a lot of thought into that with special solenoid engine mount dampeners as well as inside with and acoustic noise canceling system through the stereo speakers to avoid hearing the lumbering three cylinders that are activated only using cruise control or at cruising speed. That’s a nice looking van my friend. I bet you have tons and tons of great memories in it.
Well done on the video!

I have an 06 touring 165k miles .where in oregon r you . I'm in coos co
They didn't put that much thought into it. VCM is very problematic and causes piston ring problems, spark plug fouling, and oil burning.
I drove some newer vehicles and feel bumps but not in the Odyssey 2006 EX L model the leather seats are very comfortable put in a GPS with 2 TV with blue tooth and phone, the safety I added rear an front cameras. Also other standard features like air bags side 8 passenger sunroof and front driver extra cup holders throughout are great for trips and space a lazy Suzy type box under floor gives it extra space. Also like the single press or hold key fob to pull all windows down in summer remotely and having a real theft alarm rather then holding a panic button. The power is good 245hp as long as one maintains it with proper regular checkups.
I got a nice 06 ex the other day that looks absolutely awesome and runs great for $500
Not $5000 not a typo $500
That’s interesting Scottie says it’s a bad vehicle, but I have seen many on the road and they seem to be decent vehicles
Yes, when New they are excellent. With high miles you will be putting in a transmission & oil burning cam shaft problems.
I think Scottie gets a car in his shop and lumps every model of that car in with the one in his shop.
@@waleyefish9026 my 05 ex-l has 235k miles on it and still going strong
I Agee with Scotty
Surprised you did not cover the hidden middle storage compartment in the floor between the front and middle seat. Also Canadian models did not come with the run flat tires which is great.
Thank you for this. I'm in Canada and just bought a 2006 Odyssey and thought I'd missed some research and I was screwed. I need to buy new summer rims for it so I'm thinking maybe buying them at the recycler
My mom gave me her 2007 Honda oddsay with 357,780 miles it drives like the day we drove it off the lot
These Van's are fantastic. Super reliable and comfortable. My family has had a 05 model for years, learned to drive on it. I believe it has around 250k now
Had an 05 with 320k. Got it with 157k changed timing belt every 100k. What a pleasure to drive! Then made the missake of buying a 2011 touring--- it handles horribly! The suspension bounces on the road-- the steering is feather- light, and would do horribly to avoid a deer--- bring me back my 2005- 2010 model. Come on Honda--- how could you go from the best handling van to the worst in one generation!!!???
This generation was definitely peak odyssey. Very Acura like in terms of quality and interior luxury. You’re not the only one to notice the degradation in steering quality. Car and driver stated the Chrysler counterpart actually steered better. I did like how it lost weight and the interior was more functional. The maintenance was better in addition to being way faster.
Huh... Youre speaking a foreign language, i owned an 07 exl for 4 years, about 15 months ago bought a 16 touring elite which absolutely runs rings around that 07. Handles so solid, its a little stiff for s minivan but I drive fast and like that. Steering is s little heavier than the 07, brakes are much easier to stop.
Maybe that 5 years they made changes but its a much better vehicle, and is a lot more reliable than my 3rd gen.
I took the 2nd and 3rd row seats out, probably doing 7 seconds 0-60!
wait until you need to do a ring job for cylinders 1;2;3 on a iVTEC VCM engine. They are notorious with burning oil prematurely at 122K. Check Honda service bulletin 13-085. The rings need to be replaced because of a defect with the engineering design of the iVTEC VCM engine. Honda lost a class action law suite for the 2008-2010 engines. Honda has issued a 8 -year warranty to allow owners to bring in their vehicles to replace the rings. Good luck
This is going to come off a bit ranty but, I actually work on my own vehicles. First and foremost, Honda seems to give you just enough space to manipulate whatever replaceable component your fiddling with. We may be speaking in terms of a blonde hair or enough space to see daylight. I bought mine with a 140k on it and she's now sitting with 214k. For the first two years it was under an extended warranty. So I got a free A/C compressor, timing belt & water pump, and harmonic balancer replacement.
Since then I've swapped out an AGM battery, two alternators, both outer CV axles, a starter, and I'm in the process of swapping out my engine/transmission mounts. The rear transmission mount is a PITA in my experience and beware the battery tray assembly. The battery tray is not well finished and has many sharp edges. Most other sheet metal surfaces on my van have been well finished in my opinion (sharp edges have been filed or removed).
I've long since run a RCA to 3.5mm cable from the rear A/V connection up front for a cheap Bluetooth solution. There are components that you can salvage from a 2010 Odyssey or fleaBay kits available. I'm highly debating swapping my van for something more fuel efficient or customizing it for my preferences. I'm not sure a manual swap and stripping out the A/V gear for something more modern and upgrade-able. The stock navigation/backup camera screen is useless during the day in AZ summer sunlight. Navigation being a yearly update charge of $100 or more is laughable. I've been surprised at the ability to maneuver off road with this van. However, it can't get up an old set of maintenance ramps without popping off the front bumper cover. Overall, it's a stout and fairly dependable little van. I'm just thinking I want to switch over to something cheaper and swap to something with a barn style rear door.
Nice rundown. I also did the rear av wire to Bluetooth trick
Everyone interested be aware of the roof leak issue known from 1998-2020 models. Fixable but serious
Is it front wheel drive?
I bought 06 exl for 5 grand one owner all records from dealer serviced records. I have put 10,000 miles in 6 months. I by pass V.C.M, change oil 3 times, trans & filter(filter not lifetime) New coolant. He spend 1,500 on timing belt,water pump,pulley etc when had 140,000 & I bought with 153,000.
My odyssey touring 06 160 k miles was $3k
Hi All, Are the second row seats removable?
Yes, they are.
If you clean the headlights lenses with off mosquito repellent they will look like brand new.
Second owner of 07 EX-L model transmission went out 188k had water pump belts done expensive repair. Paint peeling on roof and sliding doors won't function properly, alarm keeps going off and ABS, VSA light on dash goes off randomly along with doors saying open all while driving. This all started week of Xmas 2020.
You touched the belmar of the dsw 12:58
U got run flat tires I bought new rims and tires to replace those
My Odyssey 2009 350,000 use it for Uber amazing
IMO these are hit or miss. Owned an 07 exl now a 16 TE. There are common issues tho not every owner experiences them.
If reliability is your number one priority skip the odyssey and buy a sienna. However the odyssey is a better driving experience and just feels like its more solid going down the road.
I just put my 2007 data (150,200 miles, LX, minor ding) into C**v*na and was offered $975. Wow. One of us is in trouble!
Nice van bro hogitty🍻🍔🍔🍔
i bought a 2013 dodge grand caravan for 4000 dollars it now has 180000 miles uses no oil. drives great yet. sat outside all winter started every day in ne. weather . it is the apv. model.no bells or whistles just runs and runs. luck of the draw i think. put new tires and brale pads thats all folks.
My 2006 still has the cd player lol
I picked up a 2010 with 48K miles!
That $5k price over over priced. I paid $2k for an 06 EX model with 211k miles. Dealer prices are super high and are jacked up due to COVID. I wouldn't pay 5 grand for a 15 year old car or van.
Right on! AND $1600 for a set of Run Flats that you can only have Honda do?
Screw the runflat system and just get regular tires, ignore the dash, or have the ECU flashed to bypass the code so you don't get the error on the dash.
Yes it can be done, and for only about $100
Wait until you need change tires, tell me how much it is.
He mentioned that towards the beginning of the video. About $400 per tire. I swapped my rims out ages ago.
I bought a complete set of Goodyear 235/55/18 tires on OXXY 18" German made alloy wheels along with Honda TPMS sensors. Everything new. Total price SEK15.000, about USD1.500.

I'm going to chime-in here and say Scotty Kilmer is both annoying and wrong.... a lot. The one episode I watched of his involved heavily criticizing a 700K Lexus SC430. How does anyone get away with degrading a car that has managed to go 700K? I'll also go along with the excellent handling of the 2005-10 edition of the Odyssey too. I have driven the newer generation Odyssey's and the handling does not compare. The Sienna was also good, but you could only get AWD in the full boat (read expensive) top of the line model, which was the main reason to even consider the Sienna over the Odyssey. I don't know why Honda never offered it in AWD., which would have meant a lot of extra sales. I also own a 2021 Pilot, which is great, but it doesn't have a lot of room for passengers or cargo.
