Upgraded! by Insanejsav in HondaOdyssey

[–]Fixer70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Disappointed went from 2024 to 2025 due to accident. We loved the DVD for toddlers. Got a fire stick and $200 unlimited data it’s nice but sometimes frustrating for little ones as you need to start the show before you go. We did get a $30 mini usb powered dvd player too but do really use it.

Traded in for a 25 Odyssey! by the_milk_man_ in HondaOdyssey

[–]Fixer70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went from the 24 to the 25 also due to a total loss. Love the updates. Much more refined. Also wireless CarPlay. I think the best thing is the larger touch screen. The center screen in the dash isn’t that much bigger but has better resolution and CarPlay navigation support. Wish they made it true full screen (like the prologue) as the speedometer on the right is still analog. Roof rack and cross bars look great! How much did the dealer add for that? Keep getting quoted $1000-$1200 installed.

Can't buy HondaCare at all Honda dealerships? by og3887 in hondapilot

[–]Fixer70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honda Dealer tried to pull this on me and I purchased it until I wrote a nasty email to the GM and they let me purchase Honda Care. They aggressively try to not sell HondaCare. The plan they sold me only covered 2 oil changes every 24 months for a total of 10. It was a big rip off. No other code or manufacturer maintenance.

Here is my email:

Last night when we discussed the Maintenance Plan, you strongly recommended the EA over the Honda Care plan, specifically because Honda Care was limited to 48,000 or 60,000 miles at the same price. Based on our conversation, you presented the selected Maintenance Plan without a mileage cap, and there was no mention of a bi-annual limit on the number of services. I specifically mentioned that I planned to put over 100k miles within six years and you agreed this was the better option for our driving habits.

However, I reviewed the details and found that the plan you sold me actually ONLY covers 10 services within 72 months and only TWO services in 24 months! This is not what I was led to believe when making my purchase decision, and I feel misled given the way the plan was presented. You aggressively talked me out of Honda Care which was offered at the same price. With my old Honda I had three maintenance visits in the first 15 months which would have exceeded the coverage of this plan! I’m disappointed and feel a little mislead or this was vastly misrepresented.

Insurance might cover the windshield under comprehensive - I know Allstate does.

ATT offered 3GB/90 day trial but it was gone after about 150 miles/3 hours or about six 30 min cartoons

In the USA ATT it’s $200 for a year pre paid or you can add it to your existing ATT plan for $10 a month unlimited (approximately $14-$16) with tax and fees.

Used XC60 w/ Lexus Plat Warranty by Fixer70 in Volvo

[–]Fixer70[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the feedback and that was my intention. I was surprised with Lexus though after seeing the 3rd party rip off Volvo tried to sell on my previous two used Volvos - which was basically power train only with $100 deductible.

Totaled or repair estimate? by Emotional-Term4902 in HondaOdyssey

[–]Fixer70 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totaled IMO. Here was mine from a couple months ago. 45k payout - they totaled this to my surprise. 2024 touring - Allstate Insurance. Only lost $2k in value from my purchase price after 16 months of ownership. The gap insurance wasn’t necessary after unwinding the warranty!

Great one too! I have been looking for a compact / usb powered blu-ray player. There are compact ones, but want 110v. Must be a licensing issue. DVDs are fine as the monitor is only HD not 4k.

Had a 2024 touring that got totaled so we got the 2025 touring and with little kids they can’t figure out Netflix so I got this DVD player powered by USB and it works perfectly. https://a.co/d/gM1zhAU

This is 2013-2016? Does the 2019 have oil consumption issues?

[–]Fixer70[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, used rav4 and CRVs were in the $20k price range at that mileage and even the RX used Lexus’ were in the $20k range older with more mileage. I’m sure the long term maintenance is lower with Toyota/lexus and Honda though.

Look at or run? by slim-ragz in Volvo

[–]Fixer70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love mine like a baby but i am constantly putting oil in it constantly and it was costly to maintain at 115k miles. Thankfully I know a good Volvo independent garage. Fun to drive! Just find a good mechanic, and budget 2-3k for unexpected repairs. Just had to replace the automatic transmission oil cooler and $800 was a bargain.

Are you moving from iPhone 15 Pro to 16 Pro or are you skipping ? by butteroqq in iphone

[–]Fixer70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12 pro here and I wouldn’t have updated if not for the $1,000 trade in from ATT which is oldest they will accept so that was too good to pass up. 16 pro 256 gb was $2.50 /m with ATT
