NO, its not what you think. Her Odessey is now 5 yrs old and getting up in miles, so I bought her a off-lease 01 9-5 Wagon. I figured with only two kids and how few times we have had more than 5 people, she would appreciate the move up to something nicer. Easier said than done. She is holding on to the Honda with a death grip. The Honda has been almost perfect. Only issues have been with the door handles on the rear sliders. Honda did replace the trans at 65k, due to a recall for premature wear. Wow, a manuf being proactive and taking responsibility. Saab could learn something here. Its resale is also something Saab could only dream of. Close to 50% of MSRP after 5 years and 80k. An advantage of the van is that I can let her and the kids trash the van and not give a S---!
Speaking of your lease return. The 01 Wagon I picked up was missing the rear cargo cover (grey). I have not been able to find one anywhere. Would you consider taking yours out prior to returning the car, selling it to me and making some $$. Let me know - Thanks
