Husband just got his 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning Flash in Anti-Matter Blue in July, and I got my 2027 Honda Odyssey Elite in Smoke Blue Pearl at the end of September. No shortage of comfort, seats, cargo space, and towing capacity in this house.

Just took delivery of my new 2026 Honda Odyssey Sport-L at a dealer in the Boston MetroWest area. Paid all cash, so no payments. Sharing the deal sheet in case it helps anyone else shopping.

Quick note: The deal paper lists the color as Sonic Gray Pearl and a different VIN, but the van I got is white, at the same price. The dealer had to get the white one from another dealer, so they used the gray Odyssey they had in stock to work up the numbers and price. The title and all the final paperwork match the white van's VIN, and the sheet in the photo was just the preliminary quote. The dealer gave us the wheel locks as a free add-on. Photos attached are from before taking delivery.

The numbers:

• MSRP: $45,845
• Sale price: $38,000 (about $7,845 off)
• Sales tax: $2,672.13
• Doc fee: $504
• Registration: $170
• Out the door: about $41,346.13

The monthly payment estimates on the sheet are just the dealer's default financing quotes. I didn't finance. Really happy with the deal, and it's a beautiful car!

14 months old and 6K miles. Hit and run in Canada (US vehicle). Family OK which is what matters. Car not drivable. Airbags not deployed. Thinking the repair will be almost as much as the car is worth and take a sizable hit in resale. Any advice on getting it fixed in Victoria vs. the states?

Today's job on my 2014 EXL is fixing the driver door lock. Seems like a common failure so I wanted to share the info I used to fix it.

I went OEM for the door lock actuator. Part 72150-TK8-A02 $94

This one is for the passenger side, but has fantastic video. Everything translates to driver side.

This one has some good tips and is for driver side, but is incomplete for doing the whole job.

Once you get the door panel off and you're trying to get that lever off, take the two round stickers off the door. They provide access holes that make it so much easier. Top one is for the level, bottom one helps with getting the key thing into the new actuator.

If you get a security code message on your infotainment when you start the van, just press and hold the volume know for 5 seconds.

Took about an hour or so, including rewatching videos. Now that I've done it once, this can easily be done in under 30 minutes.

First of all this forum has helped me before and I greatly appreciate you guys.

I have a 2009 Odyssey EX-L that threw a timing belt. So I tore it down, replaced both heads, and built it back. I have two plugs that I didn’t label (I did almost every other plug) and I don’t know where they go! Any advice?

Good times
