Minivan · what it costs new, what it’s worth used, and who has one near you.
The 1999 Honda Odyssey is a minivan we track across the used market in Canada. It comes in gas (10.7 L/100 km) and hybrid (10.6 L/100 km) forms, so the main choice is fuel — the hybrid earns its premium back over enough kilometres. A 25-year-old one keeps roughly 3% of a current model's market price — what actually matters over five years of ownership.
