This is a new one on me. This Sunday morning I stopped at a Honda dealer in Ames, IA to see what they had on the lot for Ody's and they have a version I've never seen or heard of before. Nor is it shown by Edmunds or KBB on their web sites. This is not the dealer I'm ordering from BTW.
It's a new 2001 Odyessy 5DR Van. Not 2002.
No middle or rear seats or anchor's for them and full length carpeting. The normal seat anchor's all have cover plates in their place. A simple carpeted cover for the rear well where the seat would normally be. Also, no sound system, only a blank cover plate for the hole in the dash, and no rear heat or air. Just two front cloth seats and non-tinted windows. It has a MSRP of only $20200 plus $440 shipping. It's white with gray interior.
This van was delivered to this Ames dealer according to the sticker and the VIN is 2HJRL18181H624753.
Is this some little promoted commercial van Ody? Ford does a cargo Windstar and Chevy does a cargo Venture stripped down like this, but I didn't know Honda did with the Ody.
