Well, I'm a new Ody owner. I placed the $200 refundable deposit on 12/10/01, and the salesman predicted the car would arrive in late February or early March. The Canadian-built GG EX came in on Monday, and I picked it up on Tuesday. I paid MSRP. The only freebies included were a tank of gas and a bottle of Friexinet spumante. I was lowballed on my potential trade-in, so will be selling it myself--something I've always done, I might add. The salesman went over all the van's bells and whistles with me and seemed to know the vehicle quite well. There wasn't a serious attempt to sell me any of the dealer-installed accessories, although they offered a deal on the HondaCare warranty, offering to knock off $200 if I bought it by this coming Saturday. I think the 7/100,000/0 plan was in the neighborhood of $1300 before the discount. I had already obtained a cargo tray from Hondaparts4u, and I will be contacting Tracy about the warranty. I might have been inclined to try to negotiate a little on fog lights (dealer wanted $689) and the warranty, but I figured they already had their pound of flesh. Other than being somewhat annoyed by his pecuniary stubbornness, I think the salesman was generally honest and straightforward.
I don't have many miles on it yet, of course, but the Ody's driveability is great and I'm impressed that such a big box can be so quiet. I misted the back seats with Vectra today, and will do the carpets and front seats tonight. I think I'll enjoy this vehicle!
