buying a used van?

[hotmomma]

which option would be wiser?

1. 2007 Honda Odyssey EX-L w/DVD and navigation that Carfax states had
front end collision that did not deploy airbags back in 2009 but has
normal service records since. Miles: 45,000 Price: $22,000 plus tax & tags

2. Any other Honda Odyssey EX model 2007/2008 w/30,000-40,000miles
with clean Carfax. Pricing around 19,000-21,000. EX is basic without
leather, DVD and navigation but still nice.

I have asked a few people and have 50/50 answers on whether to buy or avoid option #1.

they both seem a little pricey to me for being used. We bought our van brand new for $24k :shrug:

Are you dead set on a honda?

I had a 2004 that I just sold and I loved it. I figured I would stick with what I know I love

Gotcha. I wouldnt go w/ the one in the accident then unless they are offering a pretty extensive warranty.

Mini-van = Swagger Wagon

Option 1, must not have been a very hard collision, have it checked out by a Honda dealer, but it is probobly fine if it was repaired correctly, low miles for a Honda and they last forever!

Don't pay too much! You could end up being 35 years old, thrice divorced, and living in a van down by the river!
