1999 Honda Odyssey Lx Mini Passenger Van 5-door 3.5l on 2040-cars

It’s old.  14 yearsold and starting to show it.  The paintis original and in surprisingly good condition for a van that has never beengaraged.  It starts and runs, drives welland the front and rear A/C still blow cold. But, the check engine light is on so it will NOT pass an emissionstest.  I have recently taken it toChicago and back and still drive it to and from work almost every day.  The check engine light is on because of afault in the wiring for the front oxygen sensor heater and a hose broken to theevaporative canister.  I have replacedthe sensor twice so I know it is not the sensor.  Frankly I’m just too lazy to trace theproblem down.  As far as the canistergoes, I know what it does and don’t want to spend the money to fix it.  It doesn’t affect drivability and I still get19/20 MPG in town and 24 to 26 on the highway. The rear brakes make a little noise in the morning (I had them replacedtwo years ago).  It might be surface rustfrom sitting overnight or brake dust but again I’m too lazy to look intoit.  Sometimes the passenger window makessome noise on the way up depending on how long it’s been since I’ve cleaned thetracks.  Both of the sliding doors workbut have their minor issues from time to time; one needs the handle to bepulled harder than normal and the other, well, works, but takes a little moreeffort to close.  All the doors and liftgate seal and there are no water leaks.  Thepictures show a missing temperature control knob on the dash but that has beenreplaced.  We have gone without it for solong that we forgot to install the new one before we took the pictures.

There are stains on the carpets as you can see in thepictures.   The van doesn’t smell bad;it’s just been well used.  My wife took asteam cleaner to the seats and carpets a week before these pictures were takenbut like I said, it’s old.  Also, it hasbeen through 3 daughters and a dog on many VERY LONG road trips: thus the highmileage.  We are a former militaryfamily, and every trip to everywhere was a long one!   We replaced the transmission around 190,000miles and have been trouble free since. Tie rod ends and front stabilizer links were replaced about 50,000 milesago.  I bought two new tires for thefront last fall (which are now in the back) and the other two have a couple ofyears and about 20,000 miles on them. With the installation of the tires I had an alignment performed and thetiming belt changed as well.   I’m prettyfanatical about keeping receipts for any repairs I have done on my vehicles soyou will get a folder of receipts and information of everything we have haddone with this one.  It has had regularoil changes at 5,000 mile intervals (the most recent about a week ago) and Iplan to leave the Kenwood receiver in the dash. It is fully operational.  Theoriginal stereo, a shop manual (pictured) and a sun shade will come with thevan as well.  The only things in thepictures that don’t come with the van are as much gas as the gauge says and myNew Mexico license plate.

It comes pre-scratched and dented for your convenience.  One of my favorite things about this van(other than it just keeps running) is that if I get new scratches from somecareless bratty child in a parking lot, I’d never know! J  Anyway, the dent where the passenger doormeets the left front quarter panel was from a neighbor backing into it and thedent on the left front quarter panel near the top was from a deer running intothe van.  There are other scratches allaround the van as you can see in the pictures. There is a small chip in the windshield on the passenger side as well.  I’ll not try to hide anything about thevan.  I’ve been writing this descriptionfor weeks and as I think of things I add them to the description.  The last thing I want is for you to see thevan after agreeing to buy it and be surprised by something I failed tomention.  Despite the recall issues thelater body styles of Odyssey’s are encountering, this one is emergingunscathed.   No owner or passenger of this van has eversmoked.  If you have any questions pleasefeel free to contact us.  It has been atremendous vehicle for our family.

So why are we getting rid of it?  We now live in Lake County Ohio that has anemissions check requirement and I just don’t want to pay to get it fixed.  Also, we have three other vehicles and therereally is no reason to have a fourth when our children are too young to drive.  (My wife has her own Odyssey!)
