Honda Accord keeps an estimated 76% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #31 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Honda Accord retains an estimated 76% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #31 of 530 cars we track. That is 16 points above the 60% five-year average for Sedan in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Honda Accord sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $28,395 it falls to around $21,665 by year five — a five-year loss near $6,730, about $3.69 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Honda Accord bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
