This one was first registered in December 2001 and comes in silver with the clean, understated styling that makes the second-generation Japanese Odyssey look much more like a long-roof touring car than a traditional American-market minivan. Mileage: 122,838 km / 76,774 miles The biggest selling point is underneath the hood. The RA9 uses Honda's J30A 3.0-liter SOHC VTEC V6, factory rated at 210 PS (approximately 207 hp) and 270 Nm of torque, paired with an electronically controlled 5-speed S-Matic automatic transmission. Unlike the four-cylinder versions, the 3.0-liter Odyssey received the five-speed automatic from the factory. And for a U.S. buyer, this drivetrain isn't nearly as exotic as the JDM badge might suggest. Honda sold a 3.0-liter VTEC V6 from the same J-series engine family in U.S.-market Accords, including the 1998–2002 generation. That means the basic Honda V6 architecture is already well known in the United States, which is a major advantage compared with importing something powered by an obscure Japan-only engine. The other major difference is factory 4WD. Chassis code RA9 denotes the 3.0-liter V6 four-wheel-drive version, giving this Odyssey a combination that was never offered in the comparable U.S.-market Honda minivans: compact JDM dimensions, VTEC V6 power, three-row practicality and all-wheel traction. Honda's factory specifications list the RA9 with 4WD, four-wheel double-wishbone suspension and four-wheel ABS-equipped braking hardware. The cabin is one of the reasons these Japanese Odysseys are so appealing. Instead of the oversized van-like layout Americans normally associate with an Odyssey, the RA generation has a relatively low seating position, car-like dashboard and surprisingly manageable exterior dimensions while still providing multiple rows of seating and a large rear cargo area. This example also carries plenty of period JDM character: J30A 3.0L SOHC VTEC V6 210 PS / approximately 207 hp Factory 4WD 5-speed S-Matic automatic transmission Approximately 76,774 miles Three-row passenger cabin Factory alloy wheels Automatic climate control Factory-style integrated navigation display Woodgrain interior trim Power windows and mirrors ABS Dual front airbags Privacy glass Rear spoiler Rear wiper Right-hand drive Silver exterior Auction grade 3.5 Exterior grade C Interior grade C The auction sheet identifies the vehicle as LA-RA9, 3,000cc, 4WD and gasoline-powered, with an indicated 122,838 km. It was entered as a privately used vehicle and received an overall auction grade of 3.5. Visually, the car retains a very factory appearance. The silver bodywork, chrome grille and trim, factory wheels and relatively restrained proportions give it a great early-2000s Honda look. These are becoming especially interesting now because they sit right at the intersection of classic Honda engineering and genuinely useful everyday transportation. For an enthusiast, the RA9 is also a much more interesting proposition than buying an ordinary crossover. You get a J-series VTEC V6, 5-speed automatic, factory 4WD, double-wishbone suspension and three-row practicality in one package. Honda itself described this generation of Odyssey as combining sedan-like driving characteristics with the interior space of an upscale minivan. At $12,500 as-landed, this is an accessible way into a V6-powered, four-wheel-drive JDM Honda that can actually be used every day. It's practical enough for family duty or road trips, unusual enough for Cars & Coffee, and powered by an engine family with real familiarity in the American Honda ecosystem.
