The 2009 Honda Odyssey sits at a median of $4,998 in the Canadian market right now. That's the number to keep in your head when you're staring at an asking price. Anything meaningfully above it needs a reason you can see.
Most of these vans land between $4,200 and $5,000. That's a tight window. When the range is this compressed, price isn't doing much of the work, so the odometer and condition are what separate one van from the next. A seller quoting $5,500 is fishing above the pack.
What to actually pay
Median mileage for this year runs about 233,800 km. So a van at or near the median price with roughly that reading is a normal listing, not a bargain and not a rip-off. If you find one closer to $4,200 that checks out mechanically, you're at the bottom of the typical range and doing well.
We've flagged 2 deals on this model year in the last 90 days. That's our own signal firing on listings priced below where the market says they should be. Not a flood, but worth watching if you're patient and can move when one shows up.
My take: budget around $4,998, treat anything under $4,500 with a clean history as a genuine find, and walk from anything over $5,000 unless the seller can point to something concrete that justifies it.
