Man, I just bought a 2002 EX with only 58,000 miles for $4500. It's in pristine condition. Like a time capsule. It's incredible. The paint and clear coat aren't even messed up, which is unbelievable for an early 2000s Honda. Southern car, so no rust. I was shocked at the deal I got on it. I've gone full middle aged dad, I'm excited over a mini-van 😅.
That’s awesome that’s incredibly rare especially at that price point in those miles.. I still have the one in the video I got a 2006 Honda odyssey as well one day I’m going to do a comparison video between the two I honestly think the 2001 is better than the 2006 because of the traction control issues in a 2006.. there isn’t any real traction control issues it’s just once and it feels wheel slippage it gives up. Whereas in a 2001 it’s possible to rock that back-and-forth to get out of a hole. Same can’t be said about the 2006 if it gets stuck you have to pull it out with something. Which can be incredibly inconvenient depending on where you’re at. Lol
@@What.its.like. The TC thing would be incredibly annoying. Especially in the south where you're on your own. The 06 won't let you turn TC off? I had an 06 Accord that was AMAZING in the snow, but only if you turned TC off.
It doesn’t have a button for traction control.. it’s an EX-L model pretty loaded leather and DVD player but gets 25 Hwy, 3/4 miles per gallon doesn’t sound like it would be that much of an improvement but it really is especially if you go to Florida at least twice a year. I bought a Toyota Prius the commute back-and-forth to different places to shoot cars a lot of times I go across the state to classic automotive 5 1/2 hours away it only cost me $30 round-trip to drive the Prius there. My wife drives a Prius a lot to work case in point this is incredible so we put $25 in the Prius she drove back-and-forth to work all week and then we drove to Erie from just above Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and back on the same $25, The Erie trip just to go to Erie and back cost $45 round-trip and the 2006 Honda odyssey van.. it’s nuts The solenoids are all messed up in the transmission in my 2001 I just shift it manually. Which is totally awesome mine has a 5 speed transmission but the four speed died before I bought it Another thing I will tell you is the air conditioning unit in a 2001 2002 is far better than the air conditioning unit in a 2006 it will actually frost the inside of the windows. I’ve never gotten a 2006 that cold
I have a 02. My friend gave it to me for $900 with no issues. I didn't take care of it, had to give it away to a mechanic for free, purchase it back a few months ago for $2500 with all the issues fixed. I simply love this van.
I just took mine to the junkyard two months ago I’m kind of regretting it the right was getting too bad it was gonna cost too much money to keep it forever.. We have a 2006 E-XL as well and it’s not half the van this was traction control sucks the 2001 could get stuck but could rock it to get unstuck. Which isn’t possible in the 2006 it cut power to the wheels even if you shut traction control off it just spins I paid $1800 for mine and got six years out of it there was 260,000 On it when I took it to the junkyard they gave me $600 for it which was more than anybody else would give me for everybody wanted to come test drive it to try to blow it up when I had it for sale kind of ticked me off
@@What.its.like. The resale value on my odyssey isn’t soo great(Blue Book is around $1500. Because it’s a good running van, I can’t see the point in selling it for soo cheap when it runs soo well , so I’m just gonna keep it as long as I can. I drive very easy, and baby it. I’ve had my odyssey for 7 years and I bought it for $1200 with 175,000 on the dash, and its been good to me. I’ve managed to keep up on the maintenance, which only costs a few hundred dollars a year. Brakes, a tire here and there, oil changes every 5k. The engine compartment is kept clean too. I am always wiping it clean. Everyone tells me to get a new car, but why? There’s nothing wrong with it!! It runs and other than some typical rust near the gas fill, and rear wheel wells, the exterior is good. The interior is CLEAN. Seats are still clean, and firm, no tears or burns ..Carpet is clean, glass is in tact, no chips or cracks. My power sliding doors function well, my heat and AC work, and I still have the stock cassette stereo and CD player in. I’m content lol. I have a friend who’s paying $850 a month for a Tahoe! That’s not including insurance! Costs him $80-$100 to fill it, and the maintenance is crazy. No thanks. I’m happy where im at.
Totally agree with you why spend more to have less in the end, new cars are overrated.. I haven’t drove any of the newer Honda vans so I can’t speak for them.. but the 2001 era was a good one, only issue I’ve read was the transmissions but i think most were updated by now there was a recall I believe I have three vehicles ( want another classic car ) all paid for 2009 Toyota Prius 2006 Honda odessey 1951 Chevy 3800 1 ton My truck is better than anything on sale now as a work truck and paid less than 10k for it
This van.. I still have and have been conducting an experiment, on how much abuse it can take. I’ve driven it 35,000 miles same oil and filter (well it leaks and burns oil there have been times when I check the oil. There wouldn’t be any on the stick still runs great it’s going for a oil change soon it’s been 1.5 years and 35,000 miles since it was last changed. Willing to bet the farm couldn’t do that in a Mercedes!
Yes, I just took that van to the junk yard I paid 1,800 for it got 6 years out of it and junk yard gave me $600 I drove it there The only reason I got rid of it was the body was rotting and needed a lot to keep it going We have a 2006 Honda EX-L it’s loaded but isn’t have the van the 2001 was, traction control kills the 2006 yes you can turn it off but then the wheels spin and engine cuts off power the 2001 wasn’t like that and will go just about anywhere
No rust in California 220000 miles on mine. Trannys fine just replace all the solenoid and shift controllers and use Honda transmission fluid and radiator fluid only. I got my check engine light to go out. You got to fix that check engine light the bad sensor goes to default and it runs like crap fuel economy and everything else so don't just leave your check engine light on. Can't get a smog test in California with engine light on. This fan is like a beast very reliable.
I just took it to the junk yard wife said can’t buy any cars until that one was gone so it’s gone.. that was one of the best cars/vehicles I ever owned. Paid $1800 for it got 6 years out of it. The last year of ownership tried to kill it and couldn’t I drove 35,000 miles with the same oil filter (it leaked oil so the oil wasn’t the same.. lol I never fix the solenoid problem I just shifted it manually and it works great One episode I even raced my friends Volkswagen Jetta and beat him numerous times you should check it out it’s pretty funny th-cam.com/video/zMIOVPNZ8xw/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
My parents had a 2004 Odyssey. It was my first car, I learned how to drive it in 2015, got my license with it in 2016, and drive it through out the rest of high school up in 2018 when my parents traded it in for a used 2015 Toyota Camry. I really like the second generation Honda Odysseys despite the transmission issues.
I just took mine to the junkyard maybe four months ago it was the best vehicle that I ever bought as far as money to value ratio. I paid $1800 for mine. I got six years out of it the last two years of owning it I tried to kill it and I couldn’t kill it but it was going to cost too much money to keep it on the road so I decided to get rid of it. The junkyard gave me 600 bucks for it. I drove it There, plus my wife told me I wasn’t allowed to buy another car until that one was gone. I’m looking for another vehicle lol.
Still driving it we have a 2006 Honda odyssey EXL as well the seats are leather it’s got dvd but the 2001 drives better and doesn’t have traction control the 2006 is great until it snows the traction control SUCKS if it feels slippage it just gives up the 2001 you can spin as much as you want 2006 won’t let you do that ..
I've got a 2001 Odyssey with the 4-speed automatic and have had zero problems with the transmission. It has 120,000 miles. Every single year I change the oil and drain and refill the transmission. I don't go so far as to drop the transmission pan and change the filter though. Still, things are going fine transmission wise. Probably a lot of people who have problems don't change their fluid or use the wrong kind. I of course only use Honda transmission fluid. I do have the exact same problem as you with the cloth covering coming off of the front doors. I wound up just pulling mine off and feel it looks much better being off than being on and looking ratty. It would probably look better if I spray painted the doors a different color. Overall mine has been great. No rust at all, (it rarely snows here). It sits outside all the time and does have a decent amount of clear coat flaking though.
Mine is just a work van I don’t want to get rid of it I got a Prius about a month back and wife said I’d have to sell the van but decided to keep it as a backup vehicle.. and good thing I did b cause family member just hit a deer so they came to me looking to borrow a car.. mine is getting ratty... I’d love to race it in the 24 hours of lemons that would be epic
The 04 Odyssey my family had, we got rid of it in 2018 with about 120,000 miles on it, the vent windows no longer worked, and the passenger side sliding door had issues with it getting stuck, two locks didn’t work properly, and it had a noisy powering steering pump. The engine ran just fine, it was just noisy with the AC compressor running, and as far as I know, no transmission issues. I miss that van. I see a ton of 1999-2004 Odysseys for sale on Facebook marketplace and sometimes I’m tempted to buy one.
If you don’t mind me asking what vehicle did you get to replace your Honda van? I’ve owned two Honda vans I’ve had this 2001 we have a 2006 X - L which has leather seats DVD sunroof it’s more equipped than the 2001 but the 2001 was a better it didn’t have the traction control crapped it the 2006 one has we’re thinking about getting a 2011 touring but they have just gotten ridiculously priced before all this Covid crap with the market and everything you could get one of those with 100,000 miles for like six grand now that same van is like 10 grand and I can’t bring myself to spend $10,000 on a 20-year-old van that has over 100,000 miles make sense the world that we live in now. The other cool thing about the 2001 is you could shift that transmission manually if you did that it was really fast I beat cars that I shouldn’t be able to beat in that thing I erased my buddies jet wagon in an episode where I talk about all the abuse that I put that van through and it took it and I beat him with 35,000 miles on the same oil on the Jetta one but in reality, I beat him. It was hilarious th-cam.com/video/zMIOVPNZ8xw/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
@@What.its.like. I wanted to keep the van, they felt like a newer used car was better for me to have for going back and forth to community college. The Toyota is basically my car, I keep it maintained, pay the insurance for it, soon the title will be transferred to my name.
I just purchased a 2001 Odyssey with 134,000 miles brand new transmission. It was hardly driven. the inside is nearly perfect, very clean. The lady who owned it was old so she only drove it the store. I got it for 4,400 and on top of that when the lady took it in for maintenance she strictly took it to the dealership.
Mine just died last year. I got six years out of it and it wasn’t dead. It just needed more money than it was worth to keep it. We just bought a 2011 Honda Odyssey elite which I will definitely have featured on the channel. I have another another Honda van. I’m gonna do comparison with maybe next week, maybe this week I’m not entirely sure
@@enhancedutility266 I never saw 98 model to be honest I can’t remember if it’s in the same generation, but if it is just know that those transmissions, the original ones were very faulty the four speeds
The vent windows still work? Those tend to fail. The 2004 Odyssey EX-L my family had, the vent windows stopped working I want to say when the van was around 10 years old.
My vent window still worked the day that I got rid of it air-conditioning blowed ice cold I mean it would frost the inside of the windows. We have a 2006 Honda Odyssey EXL. It doesn’t get that cold the 2001 in my opinion is better than the 2006. The traction control system sucks on the 2006. We are looking at getting a 2011. Hopefully this year may be a touring. I’ll definitely do a video on that.
Ah i got one free, was grandpas old van, he wants to get rid of it so its mine now. Sat for 3 years, started after a jump start and drove home on 3 good tires and a donut
Do your power sliding doors work? I know they can still be used manually if the switch is in the off position. The one I had, the passenger one kept getting stuck and I had to use a spray lubricant to make it open and close.
Only one side worked when I was delivering some furniture down in Washington Pennsylvania. My van was parked on the side of the road side of the street I should say, and there was plenty of room to get through. The one door was open. This guy hit the door and took it with him, I should’ve just got the car junk out but it was during Covid and prices of vehicles got really ridiculous so I had them fix it so I had one power door and one that wasn’t powered but I honestly liked the manual door better because it didn’t have any of the issues that the power doors have
@@What.its.like. My favorite thing was my aftermarket pioneer stereo, I got it as a gift. I still have the 2004 Honda Odyssey brochure, and my parents kept the vans window sticker, from when they bought it but sadly it was left in the glove box when they got rid of it, I wish I kept that too. My van was a 2004 EX-L, it did not have the navigation system nor the dvd player, it was in Sage Brush Pearl and had a darkish grey with a slight hint of green leather interior ( fern ) , I do know for other leathers you can get beige leather( ivory ) or lighter grey leather ( quarts ) on the EX-L as well. It was a good van, served our family well from 2004-2018.
I bought my 2002 odyssey in november 2020 at 236,000mi. Its currently September 2023. Van has 266,000 miles currently. And i have had no issues with the car whatsoever. AC blows colder than my 10+yr newer caravans at work. It shifts smooth. Runs reliably. And i wont sell this van. Im driving it til it dies because I only paid $2000 3yrs ago. These vans are well worth it. Transmissions ans timing belts need attention. Outside that youre golden. I change the oil every 2-3,000 miles with full synthetic. And use some berrymans b-12 chemtool in the gas tank a few times a year when filling the tank to keep the sludge down. What a great van. I would take an odyssey over an accord with the same miles.
I just took mine to the junkyard because my wife told me that I wasn’t allowed to buy any more cars until I got rid of that one.. I really want to buy a 30s car.. Plus I wasn’t really driving it that much anymore and it needed a whole bunch of stuff to keep it on the road the last year and a half to two years I’ve been trying to kill it just to see if I could because I only paid 1800 for mine.. all the solenoids are most of them inside the transmission were bad so you could’ve just put it in drive it would slip wood going between first and second second and third but if you shifted it manually it didn’t have that problem and it was actually very fast if you did it that way I raced all kinds of people in my van.. The van with 35,000 miles without an oil change it wasn’t the same oil because it leaks like a sieve but it was the same oil filter and it fired up and drove great but it needed a windshield it needed a ball joint or wheel bearing it was just a bunch of stuff that added up to it wasn’t worth saving. But it killed me taking it to the junkyard because that was the car that had the best air-conditioning system I’ve ever had we have a 2006 and it’s not even close. Also the 2000 one doesn’t have the same traction control system for 2006 has no actually going to snow the 2006 if it feels Any resistance it gives up, turn traction control off and it just spins it doesn’t go anywhere.
Sweet EX EX-L or touring, the last year Ive been trying to kill it and it won’t die. Love Honda’s because they are very forgiving and don’t blow up when they lose oil ( for the last 1.3 year I’ve been neglecting my 2001 van to see how much abuse it can take, Ive driven it 35,000 miles on the same oil filter, don’t do this, but it runs great). I’m willing to bet the farm couldn’t do that in a Mercedes bmw and most definitely not Land Rover product. Comparison coming I have a 2006 EX-L and honestly I think the 2001 is better =) 2006 has traction control and it sucks it won’t allow wheel spin so if you get stuck in snow your stuck 2001 will keep trying
I just junked that can one of the best Vehicles I ever owned it needed o much to keep it on the road.. paid $1800 got 6 years out of it junked it for $600 got money’s worth out of that one, best AC
I couldn’t kill that car.. my wife wanted it gone I got 6 years out of it paid $1800 for it best vehicle I ever bought as far as cost The last year of ownership tried to kill it 35,000 miles same filter ran just fine no Mercedes or bmw would have survive the abuse they put that Honda through. My friend has a Jetta wagon on paper the wagon is faster than the van but I’d beat him in a race for 35,000 mile same oil filter.. Trevor was speechless good times th-cam.com/video/zMIOVPNZ8xw/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared

I’ve owned two Honda vans I’ve had this 2001 we have a 2006 X - L which has leather seats DVD sunroof it’s more equipped than the 2001 but the 2001 was a better it didn’t have the traction control crapped it the 2006 one has we’re thinking about getting a 2011 touring but they have just gotten ridiculously priced before all this Covid crap with the market and everything you could get one of those with 100,000 miles for like six grand now that same van is like 10 grand and I can’t bring myself to spend $10,000 on a 20-year-old van that has over 100,000 miles make sense the world that we live in now.
The other cool thing about the 2001 is you could shift that transmission manually if you did that it was really fast I beat cars that I shouldn’t be able to beat in that thing I erased my buddies jet wagon in an episode where I talk about all the abuse that I put that van through and it took it and I beat him with 35,000 miles on the same oil on the Jetta one but in reality, I beat him. It was hilarious

@@What.its.like. my parents got a used 2015 Toyota Camry, which I still currently drive.
@@What.its.like. I wanted to keep the van, they felt like a newer used car was better for me to have for going back and forth to community college. The Toyota is basically my car, I keep it maintained, pay the insurance for it, soon the title will be transferred to my name.
I just purchased a 2001 Odyssey with 134,000 miles brand new transmission. It was hardly driven. the inside is nearly perfect, very clean. The lady who owned it was old so she only drove it the store. I got it for 4,400 and on top of that when the lady took it in for maintenance she strictly took it to the dealership.
Mine just died last year. I got six years out of it and it wasn’t dead. It just needed more money than it was worth to keep it. We just bought a 2011 Honda Odyssey elite which I will definitely have featured on the channel. I have another another Honda van. I’m gonna do comparison with maybe next week, maybe this week I’m not entirely sure
@@What.its.like.what are your thoughts on a 1998 Honda Odyssey? For 3500
@@enhancedutility266 I never saw 98 model to be honest I can’t remember if it’s in the same generation, but if it is just know that those transmissions, the original ones were very faulty the four speeds
@@What.its.like. got you I guess I have to look further into the transmission cuz that's what everybody's been saying
The vent windows still work? Those tend to fail. The 2004 Odyssey EX-L my family had, the vent windows stopped working I want to say when the van was around 10 years old.
My vent window still worked the day that I got rid of it air-conditioning blowed ice cold I mean it would frost the inside of the windows. We have a 2006 Honda Odyssey EXL. It doesn’t get that cold the 2001 in my opinion is better than the 2006. The traction control system sucks on the 2006. We are looking at getting a 2011. Hopefully this year may be a touring. I’ll definitely do a video on that.
Ah i got one free, was grandpas old van, he wants to get rid of it so its mine now. Sat for 3 years, started after a jump start and drove home on 3 good tires and a donut
Do your power sliding doors work? I know they can still be used manually if the switch is in the off position. The one I had, the passenger one kept getting stuck and I had to use a spray lubricant to make it open and close.
Only one side worked when I was delivering some furniture down in Washington Pennsylvania. My van was parked on the side of the road side of the street I should say, and there was plenty of room to get through. The one door was open. This guy hit the door and took it with him, I should’ve just got the car junk out but it was during Covid and prices of vehicles got really ridiculous so I had them fix it so I had one power door and one that wasn’t powered but I honestly liked the manual door better because it didn’t have any of the issues that the power doors have
@@What.its.like. I prefer manual sliding doors, my friends 2002 Toyota Sienna CE has manual doors, and they open and close perfectly.
Totally agree
@@What.its.like. My favorite thing was my aftermarket pioneer stereo, I got it as a gift. I still have the 2004 Honda Odyssey brochure, and my parents kept the vans window sticker, from when they bought it but sadly it was left in the glove box when they got rid of it, I wish I kept that too. My van was a 2004 EX-L, it did not have the navigation system nor the dvd player, it was in Sage Brush Pearl and had a darkish grey with a slight hint of green leather interior ( fern ) , I do know for other leathers you can get beige leather( ivory ) or lighter grey leather ( quarts ) on the EX-L as well. It was a good van, served our family well from 2004-2018.
2001 Honda Odyssey EX, 239,243 miles
Sweet I drove that van until 266,000 it needs a bunch of stuff to keep it going
I bought my 2002 odyssey in november 2020 at 236,000mi. Its currently September 2023. Van has 266,000 miles currently. And i have had no issues with the car whatsoever. AC blows colder than my 10+yr newer caravans at work. It shifts smooth. Runs reliably. And i wont sell this van. Im driving it til it dies because I only paid $2000 3yrs ago. These vans are well worth it. Transmissions ans timing belts need attention. Outside that youre golden. I change the oil every 2-3,000 miles with full synthetic. And use some berrymans b-12 chemtool in the gas tank a few times a year when filling the tank to keep the sludge down. What a great van. I would take an odyssey over an accord with the same miles.
I just took mine to the junkyard because my wife told me that I wasn’t allowed to buy any more cars until I got rid of that one.. I really want to buy a 30s car.. Plus I wasn’t really driving it that much anymore and it needed a whole bunch of stuff to keep it on the road the last year and a half to two years I’ve been trying to kill it just to see if I could because I only paid 1800 for mine.. all the solenoids are most of them inside the transmission were bad so you could’ve just put it in drive it would slip wood going between first and second second and third but if you shifted it manually it didn’t have that problem and it was actually very fast if you did it that way I raced all kinds of people in my van.. The van with 35,000 miles without an oil change it wasn’t the same oil because it leaks like a sieve but it was the same oil filter and it fired up and drove great but it needed a windshield it needed a ball joint or wheel bearing it was just a bunch of stuff that added up to it wasn’t worth saving. But it killed me taking it to the junkyard because that was the car that had the best air-conditioning system I’ve ever had we have a 2006 and it’s not even close. Also the 2000 one doesn’t have the same traction control system for 2006 has no actually going to snow the 2006 if it feels Any resistance it gives up, turn traction control off and it just spins it doesn’t go anywhere.
Great van
It was
👌
😢❤
Im abotmut to get my first odyssey 01 in 10days
Sweet EX EX-L or touring, the last year Ive been trying to kill it and it won’t die. Love Honda’s because they are very forgiving and don’t blow up when they lose oil ( for the last 1.3 year I’ve been neglecting my 2001 van to see how much abuse it can take, Ive driven it 35,000 miles on the same oil filter, don’t do this, but it runs great). I’m willing to bet the farm couldn’t do that in a Mercedes bmw and most definitely not Land Rover product.
Comparison coming I have a 2006 EX-L and honestly I think the 2001 is better =) 2006 has traction control and it sucks it won’t allow wheel spin so if you get stuck in snow your stuck 2001 will keep trying
Mr Al Green
Nice 😅
I just junked that can one of the best Vehicles I ever owned it needed o much to keep it on the road.. paid $1800 got 6 years out of it junked it for $600 got money’s worth out of that one, best AC
Eww i hâte this odyssey
I couldn’t kill that car.. my wife wanted it gone I got 6 years out of it paid $1800 for it best vehicle I ever bought as far as cost
The last year of ownership tried to kill it 35,000 miles same filter ran just fine no Mercedes or bmw would have survive the abuse they put that Honda through.
My friend has a Jetta wagon on paper the wagon is faster than the van but I’d beat him in a race for 35,000 mile same oil filter.. Trevor was speechless good times

I am gonna to buy one 2001 EX tomorrow for about $2,500.
That’s awesome this was a great van for us.. I might be selling mine shortly
