Need advice offered Honda Odyssey for my golf
« on: 01 November 2013, 18:59 »
I have been offered a Honda Odyssey as a straight swap for my Golf. I have told them that the Golf has a bad starter and (at this time that is all that is wrong with it) and they said that is fine.

the car is a Japanese import but has had the speedo changed over and thus who knows the real odometer reading on it..the reason for sale is expensive insurance...:)..

Hell the insurance companies want £600-£750 a year in insurance....forget it....I am only paying £200 for the Golf...the Odyssey is classified as an "import" so that is why....guess Germany is considered local...:)
Gotta have money to burn paying that much in insurance....:)Now I know why the guy was willing for a straight swap...:).. Moderators please delete this thread...

It is a Japanese import that is exactly the same as the Honda Shuttle...but the insurance is much much more as it is an import....but they are almost identical...as the insurance companies are in cahoots with each other...
