Used Honda Odyssey for sale in Brooklyn, NY
Plaza Honda keeps used and certified Odysseys on the lot at 2740 Nostrand Avenue. It is one of the most capable family haulers you can buy used, and a well-chosen year is a dependable one, so here is which to target and the two things worth checking.
What a used Odyssey actually costs you
The Odyssey holds its value well for a minivan because families keep needing them, so a used one is rarely cheap, but it has shed the steepest depreciation with a lot of life left, these engines routinely pass 200,000 miles. The value sweet spot is a 2020–2022 fifth-generation van or a clean 2015–2017 fourth-generation one. Both avoid the years with the most complaints, and both hold up well past 150,000 miles with normal maintenance.

Which used Odyssey years to target
| Generation | Engine & transmission | What stands out | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4th gen 2011–2017 |
3.5L V6 with VCM; 5- or 6-speed automatic | Proven and affordable; 2015–2017 are the strongest years | Check oil level and condition (VCM can burn oil); confirm VCM software updates; test the power sliding doors |
| 5th gen 2018–present |
3.5L V6 (no VCM); 9-speed on 2018–2019 lower trims, 10-speed from 2020 | Magic Slide seats, CabinWatch and CabinTalk, big screens; VCM removed for better durability | On 2018–2019, confirm the transmission shifts cleanly and recalls are done; test the sliding doors and the door-latch recall |
For the best mix of modern features and reliability, a 2020–2022 van is the pick: Honda made the smoother 10-speed automatic standard in 2020 and dropped the oil-thirsty VCM system for the whole fifth generation. If you want to spend less, a 2015–2017 fourth-gen is proven and durable. The years to approach with a careful test drive are 2018–2019, whose lower trims used a 9-speed that some owners found rough, and which carried a few early recalls.
Two checks that matter on any used Odyssey. First, cycle the power sliding doors several times, they are the most common Odyssey wear point, and 2018–2023 vans had a door-latch recall, so we confirm that and any open recalls are completed before the van sells. Second, mind the drivetrain by generation: on a 2011–2017 with the VCM V6, check the oil level and condition and verify the software updates that address oil consumption; on a 2018–2019, confirm which transmission it has and that it shifts smoothly. We pull the service history and hand it over, because on a family van, records tell you more than the odometer.
What makes it work here
For a family that genuinely needs the room, nothing does the job as well used. Eight seats, power sliding doors, and huge cargo turn the Odyssey into a school bus, moving van, and road-trip lounge in one, and the sliding doors are a real Brooklyn advantage in tight parking, they never swing into the car parked inches away. On fifth-generation vans, the Magic Slide second-row seats shift side to side to reach a car seat, and CabinTalk pipes your voice to the back rows. One honest note: the Odyssey is long and wide, so measure your garage's length and clearance before you buy, and expect street parking to take more effort.
Worth saying plainly: no Odyssey of any year has all-wheel drive, and none is a hybrid. On good all-season or winter tires and with Snow mode on the newer ones it handles the city fine, but if you need an all-wheel-drive or hybrid minivan, that is the Toyota Sienna, not the Odyssey.
Certified versus a regular used Odyssey
Some of our used Odysseys can be bought certified. A regular used Odyssey is the lower price, backed by our own inspection and reconditioning. A Honda Certified Pre-Owned Odyssey costs a bit more and adds the manufacturer's 182-point inspection and an extended 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty from the in-service date, reassuring on a family van you plan to keep and drive hard. If you are keeping it several years, certified usually pays for itself; if budget comes first, straight used is the value play. We will show you the price gap on comparable vans.

Frequently asked questions
Which used Honda Odyssey years are the best to buy?
For modern features and reliability, a 2020–2022 fifth-generation van, which has the standard 10-speed automatic and no VCM. For value, a clean 2015–2017 fourth-generation one. The years to approach carefully are 2018–2019, whose lower trims used a rougher 9-speed and which carried a few early recalls.
What is the 2018-2019 Odyssey transmission issue?
The lower trims of the 2018 and 2019 Odyssey used a ZF 9-speed automatic that some owners found rough, with hesitation or brief power loss. Honda standardized the smoother 10-speed automatic across all trims for 2020. If you are looking at a 2018 or 2019, confirm which transmission it has and that it shifts cleanly on a test drive.
Does the used Odyssey burn oil, and what is VCM?
VCM, Variable Cylinder Management, shuts off cylinders to save fuel, and on 2011–2017 V6s it could lead to oil consumption and fouled spark plugs. Honda removed VCM from the fifth generation (2018 and up), so those vans do not have the concern. On a 2011–2017 van, check the oil and verify the related software updates were applied.
What should I check before buying a used Odyssey?
Cycle the power sliding doors several times, they are the most common wear point, and confirm the 2018–2023 door-latch recall and any others are done. Check the transmission shifts smoothly, and on 2011–2017 vans check the oil for VCM-related consumption. Then review the service history, which matters more than mileage on a family van.
Does a used Honda Odyssey have all-wheel drive?
No. Every Odyssey, of any year, is front-wheel drive. On good all-season or winter tires it handles New York weather fine, but if you need an all-wheel-drive minivan, look at the Toyota Sienna, which offers AWD and is a hybrid.
Is there a used Honda Odyssey Hybrid?
No. The Odyssey has always used a V6 and was never offered as a hybrid in the U.S. The hybrid minivan in the segment is the Toyota Sienna. The Odyssey counters with strong V6 power and about 22 mpg combined.
How many miles is too many on a used Odyssey?
Service history matters more than the odometer. A well-maintained Odyssey commonly passes 200,000 miles, so a van in the 90,000 to 130,000 range with clean records still has plenty of life left. Expect sliding door motors, the AC compressor, and suspension parts to need attention along the way.
Is a certified Odyssey worth it over a regular used one?
Certified costs a bit more and adds Honda's 182-point inspection and an extended 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty from the in-service date, which is reassuring on a family van driven hard. If you are keeping it several years it usually pays for itself; if budget comes first, a regular used Odyssey is the value play.
Can I trade in my current car and finance a used Odyssey?
Yes to both. You can get pre-approved before you visit, and we will appraise your current car whether or not you buy from us. A current trade often covers a meaningful chunk of the price, or moves you from a used Odyssey up to a certified one.
What is Plaza Auto Mall?
A family-owned Brooklyn dealership group that has operated on Nostrand Avenue since 1975. It brings five new-car brands together, Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, and Acura, along with certified pre-owned inventory from each and a multibrand used-car operation. More than 1,000 vehicles sit within a seven-minute walk, so you can cross-shop in one visit, with one trade appraisal and one finance office.
