Honda Civic Sedan Depreciation & Resale Value

Honda Civic Sedan keeps an estimated 82% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #59 of 684 cars VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Honda Civic Sedan retains an estimated 82% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #59 of 684 cars we track. That is 18 points above the 63% five-year average for Sedan in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Honda Civic Sedan sheds about 2% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $23,950 it falls to around $19,519 by year five — a five-year loss near $4,431, about $2.43 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Honda Civic Sedan bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
