New to the forum and excited about purchasing a Honda Odyssey for the family (3 kids). I made the mistake of leasing a 2007 Chevy Tahoe LTZ and the lease is FINALLY over in 6 weeks. I've been searching for months for the right van, but my head has been set on the Ody the entire time.

Looking to purchase a used 2007, 2008 or 2009 White EX-L or Touring w/ tan leather interior. The primary requirements at the time are RES, power liftgate and sunroof.

I just missed one this week in the Atlanta area while traveling for work and it was sold by the time I returned on Friday. Wish me luck and I will keep you posted.

Good luck in your search!

It has been broadly asserted in certain places around here that Suburbans and Tahoes are far better vehicles than Odys are, so I hope you are making the right choice. Ha!

Nice Ody, atl_f-m. Out here in the hot part of OK, I appreciate my Taffeta White Accord. I don't think I'll buy a dark paint scheme again.

I don't think that it was that big of a mistake. It's easy to look at the fuel economy numbers and think, "Oh my...", but you have to remember that the numbers ain't so bad when you take into consideration that a Tahoe is pushing about 6,000 pounds at the curb. Towing larger items like travel trailers and larger boats is a simple task with that big beast.

Then again, if it was your primary toolin'-around-Atlanta vehicle...yes, the trips to the gas station would get old.

Enjoy the new van. White Odys have a pretty large following here in all generations.
