Honda Fit Depreciation & Resale Value

Honda Fit keeps an estimated 52% of its recent market value after 5 years — #337 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Honda Fit retains an estimated 52% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #337 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 60% five-year average for Sedan in its class by 8 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Honda Fit sheds about 12% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $17,875 it falls to around $9,348 by year five — a five-year loss near $8,527, about $4.67 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Honda Fit bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
