odyssey, accord wagon, or previa

in about a month or 2 my saturn ion lease is up, i recently started my own mobile detailing business and i need to buy a van or wagon, i plan on making this car my company demo car and tuning it too the fullest as much as my Q45.

so what would you get and why?

a 94-95 accord wagon
a 99-03 odyssey (dont know exact year but 2nd gen)
or a 90's previa/estima

I would say do the EGG.  If you remove the middle seat there is so much room in there!  Personally I wish that my EGG had the Captain Chairs, Dual Sun Roofs, and not Purple.  LOL  Basically everything I currently have is what I didn't want.  Impulse buying!!Anyways...getting off topic.  Do the EGG I just want someone here in the 808 rockin a completed EGG.  Plus I can buy parts from you that you no longer want for cheap.  LOL

Good Luck with the Detailing Business!

that sucks, out of all three cars, i started leaning toward this the most because i saw the ody thread in the gallery and was blown away by the JDM lagreats...but thanks for the info everyone, it helps

i have a 2001 odyssey if you are interested. original owner 51k miles, bought with extended warranty so everything is taken care of by the dealer.

true virgin not like some of the ****s out there.

hey tech, do all the 2nd gen odysseys have this problem?  and what do you mean you need to replace it every 1-2 weeks...

I noticed the first batch of odyssey's (98-00) has the transmission issues along with the V6 Accords in the same years.. Most are due to lack of maintenance and abuse.. If I'm not mistaken, they had a warranty extension on certain years of the odyssey and accords.

+1 :biggthumpup: got homies that work at honda america in the warranty dept and that is the biggest issue. daily..also the 99-2003 ody doesnt have a jdm counterpart. the model before and after do.....

go 2nd gen ody. I've personally seen one flared with 20x9 and 20x10's and bagged. god it was sick. showed up a sa feature later. I believe I saw it in the parking lot near makuhare messe for the auto salon.

i said 2nd gen ody. not many people mods this car.
but 1st gen looks great too lot of parts to mod.
i own 3rd gen which nothing much i can do with it. 
beside wheel for the exterior. sad thing is not even JDM :(
but the good thing is my bodykit made in Japan haha...

don't worry epi, 3rd gen is the hottest
 
OP - Previa, of course  :)

i worked at a honda dealership for 4 years. the odysseys that had the problems were mainly the 2002 model. you can also check consumer reports as well. those years sucked. many of the 02 had a recall because the kind of figured that there was a problem. so as long as you stay away from the 02 your good. If you wanted to go with the odyssey and keep it vip styled wagon styled or whatever you guys want to say it is. 2004 models are the only ones avail in black.last year for that design as well.

the previas are my favorite by far. 

relatively low cost + availability + a bounty of aftermarket parts = badass project.

I was hoping that you were going to get a van.  But in the end as long as everything you need fits in there that is all that matters.  Good luck with the New Business.

i tried looking around for a egg or oddessy, but in the end i couldnt get a deal this cheap.  all the eggs and oddys that were clean and good were too much, and all the cheap ones were too high mileaged
