New or certified pre-owned Honda Odyssey: which fits Egg Harbor Township families?
A new Honda Odyssey fits Egg Harbor Township families who want to choose the trim and color, order one from the factory or lease it. A certified pre-owned Odyssey fits families who want a Honda-backed used van priced below new. Boardwalk Honda sells both on Tilton Rd.
Honda’s 2026 Odyssey starts at $42,795 for the EX-L and reaches $51,695 for the Elite. The right choice depends on whether your family needs the exact trim and color or a lower price with Honda’s backing.

Buy new for the exact trim, buy certified for a Honda-backed used van
A new Odyssey is the way to get the trim and color you pick. A certified pre-owned Odyssey is the way to get Honda backing on a used van, because the Honda CPO program includes an extended powertrain limited warranty and a bumper-to-bumper limited warranty backed by Honda.
Boardwalk Honda sells new Honda models including the Odyssey, Ridgeline, CR-V, Accord, Prologue, Civic, HR-V, Pilot, Passport and Prelude. The Honda CPO program also includes a free vehicle history report, so you start the used-van search with the van’s past already on paper.
How much is a new Honda Odyssey, and how much is a certified one?
The 2026 Odyssey starts at $42,795 for the EX-L, $43,895 for the Sport, $47,495 for the Touring and $51,695 for the Elite, all at Honda’s starting MSRP. A certified Odyssey is a used van, so its price follows its model year and miles rather than a Honda list price.
New Jersey’s sales tax rate is 6.625% (New Jersey Division of Taxation, 2026), and it is added on top of the van’s price. Build that tax into your budget before you compare a new van to a certified one.
What warranty covers a new Honda Odyssey, and what covers a certified one?
A new 2026 Odyssey carries a basic warranty of 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Its powertrain warranty runs 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, and its corrosion warranty runs 5 years with no mileage limit.
A certified Odyssey must be up to 6 years old with less than 80,000 miles from its original in-service date at the time of sale. Its powertrain coverage runs 7 years or 100,000 total odometer miles from the original in-service date, whichever occurs first (Honda Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Limited Warranty booklet, 2026). If the new vehicle warranty is still active at purchase, the other coverage runs 2 years from its expiration or 100,000 total miles, whichever comes first.
For a family that keeps a van a long time, the certified powertrain term can outlast the new one.
How much room and what mpg does a Honda Odyssey give a family?
The Odyssey seats 8, with 40.9 inches of legroom in the first two rows and 38.1 inches in the third. Maximum cargo room is 155.8 cubic feet on the EX-L and Sport, and 155.7 cubic feet on the Touring.
Behind the second row, the EX-L, Sport and Touring each give 86.6 cubic feet of cargo room. Behind the third row, they each give 32.8 cubic feet, enough for a stroller or a week of sports bags with the seats folded for the trip. The base front-wheel-drive gasoline Odyssey is rated 19 city, 28 highway and 22 combined mpg (fueleconomy.gov, 2024).
New Odyssey trims and certified Odysseys side by side for Egg Harbor Township buyers
Honda’s 2026 starting MSRP sits beside the standout features Edmunds lists for each trim (Edmunds, 2026).
| Trim | Starting MSRP (2026) | Standout features |
|---|---|---|
| EX-L | $42,795 | 18-inch alloy wheels, power liftgate and sliding doors, sunroof, tri-zone climate control |
| Sport | $43,895 | Black grille and window trim, 19-inch gloss black wheels, darkened taillights |
| Touring | $47,495 | CabinWatch rear-cabin camera, navigation, 12.8-inch rear entertainment screen, Wi-Fi hotspot |
| Elite | $51,695 | Hands-free power liftgate, heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, premium audio |
A certified example shows how used pricing works. Kelley Blue Book listed a certified 2025 Honda Odyssey EX-L with 3,605 miles at $41,689 on Boardwalk Honda’s dealer page (Kelley Blue Book, 2025). Honda’s certified program also includes a 182-point inspection and a $0 deductible on covered repairs (American Honda Motor Co., Inc., 2026).
Can Boardwalk Honda get the new Odyssey trim and color I want?
Yes. At Boardwalk Honda we offer custom factory orders for new Hondas, so you can specify the Odyssey trim and color you want before it is built. Ask for the exact trim, color and options before you sign.
If the trim or color you want is not in stock, we can help you reserve an in-transit model.
When is a new Honda Odyssey the wrong choice, and when is a certified one?
A new Odyssey is the wrong choice when your budget sits below the $42,795 starting MSRP of the EX-L. A certified Odyssey is the right choice when price matters more than choosing the exact trim and color.
If you need the Elite’s ventilated front seats or the Touring’s rear-seat entertainment screen, order new so you get that trim. If you can accept what is on hand and want a Honda-backed van at a lower price, certified makes sense. Either way, the 8 seats and cargo room are the same across the trims.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Honda Odyssey compare with the Pilot for seating and cargo?
The Odyssey carries more cargo than the Pilot. Its maximum is 155.8 cubic feet on the EX-L and Sport, against 111.8 cubic feet on the Pilot Sport (2WD), according to Honda’s published 2026 specifications. Both seat up to 8, and the Odyssey’s third row has 38.1 inches of legroom against 32.5 inches in the Pilot.
How does New Jersey sales tax apply to a new or used Honda Odyssey?
The rate covered earlier applies to new and used purchases alike, so tax does not decide between them. Plan for it on either price.
What should a family ask for before buying a used Odyssey?
Ask for a vehicle history report and run the VIN through VINCheck, which flags a vehicle reported stolen-not-recovered or salvage or flood-damaged (National Insurance Crime Bureau). Look under the carpets, floor mats and headliner for water stains, mildew, or sand and silt, which can signal flood damage. Kelley Blue Book (2026) notes that dealers usually provide the history report free, so ask for it.
