Wheels+tires will probably cost you around $1k+ unless you can score one VERY cheap from salvage yard.

If it was me, I would just dePAX and drive the car unless you HAVE to sell. $1k or 1.5k is like 3 car payments = really nothing. Disable the VCM and just drive it. It is a nice car.

I expect my EXL to fetch around $3500 max (it has scratches, some rusting spots, and back up camera hit the ghost - NAV works though), not worth it for me to sell - $3500 is like 6 car payments at "reasonable" $580/mo. ($35k at 0% - or more like $30k at 5%) and I am quite confident that I can go next 6 mo. no problem and at this point, as long as it is running, it pretty much has hit the floor in value IMHO.

 

Here's what I don't get. In looking for wheels in used market, I'm seeing others sell these PAX wheels/tires. Who is buying these? They are fetching like $2-300 for special rims that cannot get replacement tires? Are they fooling people? I've been finding some parting out EX-Ls but the wheels go fast.

 

What has been so painful about dePAXing?

Truthfully these vehicles are worth a lot more than what the general uninformed public would pay for them.

 

I just listed my wheel/tire combo on market place 2 days back. Zero curb rash wheels and 50% tread life tires. No TPMS sensors. All for a sweet $350.

Tood bad OP and I are on the opposite coasts.

 

Umm nope the 2005 odyssey needs a 5X120 wheel not a 5x114.3 so they won't fit.

I'm not sure what you're trying to get price wise but depending on your market it probably is worth 6-8K just for the miles. Remember it's also a 2005 so it's old. The prices of the 5th gens are starting to really drop (although usually with higher miles) Still I'd rather go with newer and higher mileage due to age/rust possibilities. Around my area (MA) a 3rd gen really would fetch 4 or 5K really so I wouldn't waste too much time trying to get new wheels as the bang for buck when you sell probably isn't there.

 

Thanks, so you think there is enough value (and market size) to sell to find an Ody fan, not just a van fan? I've not tried marketing at all and think I'll start as-is first and see what kind of feedback I get.

 

You also don't have to get OEM wheels. I see 3rd gen Tourings on the road all the time with aftermarket wheels for this reason.

 

photos? & where are you located?
