Looking at a 2018-19 Honda Odyssey to buy?

I mean, a sale matters but a $3k difference is a lot more front end gross for the salesperson.

Yep. But also to that end, $1500 extra profit is better than 0 profit by not selling it. Lol

Again, they will sell the vehicle. It just wasn't to you.

At some point, even if it’s at auction, yes.

Wew. Dealer in FL gave us a good deal so we flew down today to look at a 2019 Elite. Got there and it was like they didn’t even clean or detail it and some scuffs/scratches that weren’t disclosed prior. They had the salesman out at 4pm scrubbing the interior and exterior for an hour. Lol. And they took an extra $1k off without us even asking as an apology for not having it ready to go. So even better. Yisssss.

Tyman, congrats on the 2019 Elite. I'm not sure whether you purchased from a Honda dealer, but if you didn't, check to see if all the safety recalls have been addressed. Examples:
TSB 18-107 - Safety Recall: 2019 Odyssey SRS Unit
TSB 18-128 - Safety Recall: Power Sliding Door Rear Latches
TSB 18-129 - Safety Recall: Soft or Low Brake Pedal
TSB 19-043 - Safety Recall: 2018-19 Odyssey Battery Terminal Inspection and Transmission Replacement
TSB 19-045 - Safety Recall: 3.5L V6 Timing Belt
TSB 19-046 - Safety Recall: 2018-19 Odyssey Check Park Mechanism (Snapshot Upload Required), Battery Terminal Inspection, and Update TCM
TSB 20-012 - Safety Recall: Third Row Accessory Power Outlet
TSB 20-024 - Safety Recall: 2018–20 Odyssey Sliding Door Outer Handle Cables
TSB 20-047 - Noncompliance Recall: Gauge Control Module Software Update
TSB 20-050 - Noncompliance Recall: 2019-20 Odyssey Rearview Camera
TSB 20-051 - Noncompliance Recall: Front Control Box OTA Software Update
TSB 21-026 - Safety Recall: 2019 Odyssey Fuel Pump Motor

Yes, there have been a lot. The fuel pump recall is relatively new and has not been addressed on our 2019 Elite yet.

There are also two warranty extensions:
TSB 21-010 - Warranty Extension: MIL Comes On with DTC P0420/P0430, P030x, and/or P219A/B (Without Software Update)
TSB 21-013 - Warranty Extension: 2018-20 Odyssey MOST Bus Network Connectors

My 2019 Elite also had a water leak in the cargo / trunk area behind the third row. Local dealer addressed it and also replaced the foam padding underneath the carpet.

You can also download a Garmin GPS map update if the previous owner did not update it already.

Odyclub forums is a fantastic source of information on the vehicle.

Enjoy the new van!

It was a GM dealer but I’ve already added it to my Honda owner page and it doesn’t show any recalls as active. And I’ve already made an account on Odyclub to peruse things. And thanks. The wife is pretty happy.
