On the other hand, NEW Odysseys can be had right now for close to invoice (maybe $500-$750 over), whereas when the new one comes out you can bet you will pay well over MSRP for at least 2 years. Even the current one is in limited supply, so I have no idea why they are discounting them so much. My dealer (a huge dealer) had about 40 Accords, over 75 Civics, and 5 Odysssey's all of them EX-L's, he said he had not gotten any LX's or EX's in some time |
