okay...something like this is a subjective value judgement...If you really LOVE The car, that is what is important here~....of course I paid Way TOO MUCH for my MINI....at least 3000 over the "average market value" but screw those guys...I love the car...I drive the car...and nothin' else matters~

Has anyone ever "NEEDED" a DVD....I posit that you will NEVER use this while driving~....we never had those before....silly to even think about these now....if you've got antsy-pants passengers who want to spend their entire life lookin' at computer displays...tell them to open their eyes to view the world...not in an artificial display~

man I love it. It is an amazing Van. I already kept two choices while looking for a mini van either Sienna or Odyssey. Personally I rate both same as both are well reliable manufacturers. Thanks for you answers guyz! But I would like to have more technical and experienced answer from someone who is expert in auto/dealership world.
operator couldn't possibly have children, which begs me to ask why in the world would you buy a minivan? I bought a 2008 Odyssey preowned in 2011 for 24k on a 72 month lease. EX-L with DVD and the DVD has been a great thing for my 2 year old who wants to watch Nemo 3 billion times. I don't know how many miles I have off the top of my head, but I would say you did get a good deal.

Yesterday I received all the paper work in mail from the dealership and it states that the actual price of the vehicle got me is $ 27,843.50 (not $30K). Its an open loan so I can pay it out quicker if I want. Which I would love to do as it is really annoying to pay every month for yearsss rather pay it out and get rid of it quicker. But since I didn't have that much cash on me so I decided to go for a monthly payments. Never did before but had no choice. Not really a good experience with American van (2002 Caravan).
Before I can give an opinion, need some clarrification on the vehicle & finance. 1) Is that a new vehicle? (Not sold before) 2) 72KM is like 72 Kilometers or 72,000 Miles? 3) What is interest rate? Even with 0% interest rate, the payment comes out to $386/month. Unless you are making a down payment, you will not get $338/month.

So I put $2,500 down plus he traded-in my 2002 Dodge Caravan(with transmission gone) for a $1,000. So basically it took $3,500 off of the price of the van and I will be paying $24,343.00 and that is why my monthly payments are $338. 72KM means 72,000KM. 0.00% Interest Rate.
I can say you got a decent/fair deal from the dealer for the vehicle. The price paid looks to be slightly more, but since you got the finance with 0% interest rate, you should be satisfied with the purchase. Congratulations and welcome to the Odyssey family!
