A Honda's value is what buyers actually pay today. ForCar reads real US asking prices across 26 Honda models ($1,200–$54,000) and shows the trade-in, private-party and dealer range by model, year and mileage — free, no signup.
Across 17 Honda models we price, a five-year-old car still asks about 65% of what the newest one does — that puts Honda #4 of 44 brands, above the 55% market median. The Civic Si holds value best at 80%, the Insight worst at 37%. Calculated from 10,030 listings.

How well does a Honda hold its value?
Resale value is everything when you sell or trade. Because ForCar prices from the live market, you see how a Honda actually depreciates — here's the median value by age across the brand's models, from real listings (compare with the typical depreciation curve by age):
A Honda worth about $28,009 at one year old is typically down to ~$21,749 by five years — roughly 22% lost in the first five years. Open any model above for its own year-by-year curve.
Which Honda holds its value best?
Not every Honda depreciates the same. This is 5-year value retention by model — how much of its price each keeps after five years on the used market (higher = holds value better):
Retention = the median resale price of a ~5-year-old model versus a current one, from real listings. Luxury and high-powered trims usually drop hardest; practical, in-demand models hold on.
Does Honda hold value better than other brands?
Every brand we price, ranked by how much of its newest price a five-year-old car still asks — the median across that brand's models. Honda sits at #4 of 44, against a market median of 55%.
Which Honda body style holds value best?
The same badge depreciates differently depending on what it's bolted to. Here's every Honda body style we price, ranked by how much of its newest price a five-year-old car still asks.
Body styles with only one or two priced models move a lot year to year — read them as a direction, not a verdict.
What mileage costs a Honda
Crossing 100,000 miles takes about 42% off a Honda — gentler than the 65% the average used car loses. Median asking price in each odometer band, from our listings:
How far Honda prices spread
Two cars of the same year and badge rarely cost the same — trim, condition and seller move the number. Across Honda, the gap between cheap and dear runs about 87% of the median. The band shows the low-to-high range, the line is the median.
Trade-in, private-party & dealer price
Every Honda has three prices. Our low–median–high range maps to what a dealer pays you, what you'd get selling it yourself, and what a lot charges — see current used-market prices across all models too:
On Honda listings the dealer retail price (153% of median) runs about 2.3× the trade-in offer (66%) — the gap you're negotiating.
Trading in or selling your Honda?
Know all three numbers before you walk in. Trade-in is fastest but lowest; selling private-party nets the most; a dealer's asking price shows the ceiling. ForCar's range gives you the leverage to negotiate from real data, not a salesperson's screen.
