New or certified pre-owned Honda Odyssey in Oklahoma City: which makes more sense?

Buy a new Odyssey if you want to choose the trim and color and start under Honda’s new-vehicle warranty. Buy a certified pre-owned Odyssey if you want a lower purchase price with Honda’s certified coverage.

Bob Howard Honda in Oklahoma City sells both, so you can price each one against your own payment before you visit.

Bob Howard Honda buyers pick new Odyssey for choice and certified for price

New gives you the trim you pick and a new-vehicle warranty from the start. Certified gives you a lower price and Honda’s certified coverage on a used Odyssey.

Bob Howard Honda sells new Honda models, and the Odyssey is on that list, along with the Accord, Civic, CR-V, Pilot, Passport and Ridgeline. The certified side is backed by a set program. HondaTrue Certified covers vehicles from 2021 to 2026 with under 80,000 miles, with a 182-point inspection and a $0 deductible on covered repairs (American Honda Motor Co., 2026).

Start with what matters most. If the trim, the factory warranty and a new vehicle come first, buy new. If the lower price comes first, a certified Odyssey is the stronger buy.

What sets the price gap between a new and certified Odyssey in Oklahoma City?

The 2026 Odyssey starts at $42,795 for the EX-L, according to Honda’s 2026 pricing. A certified pre-owned Odyssey costs less than a new one and loses less value ahead of you.

Honda prices the 2026 Odyssey by trim. The EX-L starts at $42,795, the Sport at $43,895, the Touring at $47,495 and the Elite at $51,695, according to Honda’s 2026 pricing and EPA ratings release.

A new vehicle carries greater initial depreciation. A certified Odyssey has previous ownership and wear, and that is why its price sits lower. Put each price next to the monthly payment you can afford, and check that the figure includes the state fees.

What warranty comes with a new or certified Odyssey from Bob Howard Honda?

A new 2026 Odyssey carries a basic warranty of 3 years or 36,000 miles and a powertrain warranty of 5 years or 60,000 miles. A certified Odyssey carries powertrain coverage of 7 years or 100,000 total odometer miles.

Honda’s warranty on the new 2026 Odyssey covers the vehicle for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Corrosion coverage lasts 5 years with no mileage limit.

The certified program goes further. Its limited powertrain coverage runs 7 years or 100,000 total odometer miles (Honda Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Booklet, 2026).

How can you compare new and certified Odyssey payments at Bob Howard Honda?

Compare both Odysseys on the same term and the same trade-in figure. The payment calculator at Bob Howard Honda accepts a trade-in offer amount, so the trade goes into the math from the start.

Start with the finance page. We offer a secure online finance application, and you can run each payment before you visit.

Keep the price, the term and the trade-in the same for each vehicle, so the only difference is the Odyssey itself.

Leasing changes the math. A lease can still end in ownership, because a leased Honda can be bought out mid-term or when the term ends.

What Odyssey trims can you choose new at Bob Howard Honda?

Bob Howard Honda sells the new Odyssey, and Honda builds it in four trims: EX-L, Sport, Touring and Elite. The EX-L makes 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, and it tows up to 3,500 pounds, according to Honda’s 2026 specifications.

Row 1 and row 2 each have 40.9 inches of legroom on the EX-L, and row 3 has 38.1 inches. Cargo behind row 1 is 140.7 cubic feet, behind row 2 it is 86.6 cubic feet and behind row 3 it is 32.8 cubic feet. Maximum cargo is 155.8 cubic feet.

The Sport matches the EX-L on these measures. The Touring holds 155.7 cubic feet at maximum.

Honda lists CabinTalk and a power tailgate with programmable height as standard on the EX-L. Pick the trim by price first, then check what each step up adds.

What does a new or certified Odyssey give you at Bob Howard Honda?

A new Odyssey from Bob Howard Honda gives you the new-vehicle warranty and a secure online finance application. A certified Odyssey adds two complimentary oil changes on top of its certified coverage.

The certified program includes 2 complimentary oil changes within 1 year or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The clock starts on delivery or when Honda Service Pass expires, whichever is later (Honda Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Booklet, 2026).

Trade-in and payment tools sit next to the finance application. Use them to see your numbers before you sit down with a salesperson.

When is a new or certified Odyssey the wrong choice at Bob Howard Honda?

A new Odyssey is the wrong choice when the lowest purchase price comes first. A certified Odyssey is the wrong choice when a new-car financing incentive is particularly good.

A certified Odyssey from the 2023 to 2025 model years is probably the best value, unless you qualify for a particularly good new-car financing incentive. Financing a certified Odyssey can cost more than financing a new one, so check the rate on each deal.

The new Odyssey is the wrong pick when the purchase price matters more than the trim or the new warranty, because the new vehicle carries greater initial depreciation.

“I had an outstanding experience at Bob Howard Honda when I brought my 2013 Honda Crosstour in for an oil change! From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and professional. The service was completed quickly, and they kept me informed throughout the process. I really appreciated that they were thorough and honest without trying to upsell me on services I didn’t need. My Crosstour is running great, and it’s clear the team takes pride in providing excellent customer care. It’s refreshing to find a dealership that values both quality service and customer satisfaction. I’ll definitely be coming back for all my future maintenance needs and highly recommend Bob Howard Honda to anyone looking for dependable, top-notch service. Five stars all the way!”
