How long did it take to pick up the van?

I sat around for 9 hours on 12/30/00 waiting for my turn so I could take my baby home. It was BUSY

Oh, I meant how long did it take to get your van since you ordered it.

Two days, I believe, from the time I put my deposit down until the time I drove away in the Ody.

Ordered my Ody on 03-29-01. They told me to expect eight weeks which would put delivery at or around the end of May. I checked with them in the middle of May, around the 17th, and was told that they just received a build date of 06-07-01 and that I could expect a further ten days after that which puts me around the 17th of June. If I don't hear from them by the 15th of June, I'll be making a real pest of myself. I really "do" need to get the van by the end of June if at all possible. I sold my previous car about three weeks ago and have been relegated to the motorcycle exclusively since then. I don't mind that for the most part, I enjoy riding the bike but I have other interests and hobbies for which I "really" need the van.

Still waiting!

Be Safe,

wow, you have so much patient.
I don't think I can wait that long.

To Intrepid175,
If you don't want to wait, I would sugggest go to Holmes Honda at Shreveport. After all it is not too far from your location. I picked up my Ody 2001 EX on May 15, after doing an inquiry over the internet on May 14 -- no waiting. You can check its inventory at http://www.holmeshonda.com and ask for a quote. I got $400 discount (below MSRP) from the internet sales manager, Brian Nesbitt. I think if your dealer doesn't give you any discount, the $400 is definitely worth the trip.
Anyway, I'd just came back from the store today to fix the infamous "pull to the right" problem and saw a few Odysseys on the lot. Talk to Brian (very nice guy) and tell him that Azzz from Magnolia, AR sent you. He even gave me a loaner (brand new 2001 Accord) for three hours while waiting for the dealer to fix the problem -- now, that's service.

Good luck.

From the first time I talked to the dealer to the time I drove it off the lot was about 2 weeks. It would have been sooner but a mixup in the paper work had an LX showing as an EX on the schedule sheet. I got the next EX though.

Not too bad.

I'm assuming there can't be that many Azzz's in Magnolia.

Just a nickname that I thought about an hour ago. I thought it's kind of cool and close enough to my real name -- hope no one got a wrong idea, if you know what I mean.

It took 8 weeks from the time we put the deposit down to delivery. We could have got it immediately but that would have cost MSRP + $2000.

We orded our SS in the beginning of Last september and waited for 3 MONTHS until we finally got it in Jan. But we paid about $2750 under MSRP !! I am pretty happy with that !

We got ours from Clear Lake Honda in February after only a two week wait, even though they told us the one I put a deposit on wasn't due to arrive for six weeks. I am guessing that someone changed their mind and I was the first person to answer the phone that day.

If you do stick with Clear Lake, make sure you bring in a quote on a cheap extended warranty (if you are planning to buy it), or they will try to sell you one for $1,450.
