Who is the Honda Odyssey for?
The Honda Odyssey is a good fit for transport operators, schools, churches, hotels, tour companies and businesses moving people or goods. Vans and buses are the backbone of Ghana's trotro and commercial transport, built to cover long distances every day.
Fuel economy and running costs
Most run on diesel for durability and range. Regular servicing keeps running costs predictable for a business.
Insurance, roadworthy renewal and routine servicing are the other regular costs. Budget for an oil change roughly every 5,000 to 10,000 km, depending on the oil grade and driving conditions.
Parts, servicing and resale
Spare parts are among the easiest to find in Ghana, from Abossey Okai in Accra to Suame Magazine in Kumasi, with genuine, used and aftermarket options at every price point.
Almost every fitting shop in Ghana knows these engines, so servicing is affordable and widely available.
Japanese cars hold their value well in Ghana because buyers trust their reliability, so resale is usually quick.
Importing a Honda Odyssey to Ghana
If you cannot find the right Honda Odyssey locally, you can import one. Factor in the purchase price, shipping to Tema port, import duty and levies charged by the Ghana Revenue Authority, clearing fees and DVLA registration. Vehicles over ten years old attract extra penalties, so newer cars are often better value once they land.
Carboqs can handle the import for you, from sourcing the car abroad to clearing it at Tema.
