how much is a honda car

[DiBenjamin]

Honda car prices vary widely based on the model, trim level, and whether it's new or used. For a new Honda, you can expect to pay anywhere from around $24,000 for a base Honda Civic sedan to over $42,000 for a well-equipped Honda Pilot SUV. The final price is significantly influenced by factors like optional features, dealership fees, and current market demand.

A key factor in the final cost is the trim level. Most Honda models start with an affordable LX trim and progress through higher tiers like Sport, EX, and Touring, each adding more technology, comfort, and performance features. For example, the popular Honda CR-V's price can increase by over $8,000 from the base trim to the top-tier offering.

Here’s a quick overview of estimated starting prices (MSRP) for some of Honda's core 2024 models to give you a broad perspective:

Honda Model	Body Style	Estimated Starting MSRP
Honda Civic	Sedan	$24,000
Honda HR-V	Subcompact SUV	$24,000
Honda Accord	Sedan	$28,000
Honda CR-V	Compact SUV	$29,000
Honda Passport	midsize SUV	$39,000
Honda Pilot	Large SUV	$38,000
Honda Odyssey	Minivan	$37,000

Remember, the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is just the beginning. You'll need to account for things like the destination charge (typically around $1,300), taxes, registration, and any dealer-added accessories. For the most accurate price, it's always best to build and price your desired model on Honda's official website and then contact local dealerships for their final out-the-door quotes.

It really depends on if you're looking new or used. A new Civic starts around twenty-four grand, while a new Pilot SUV can easily push into the low-$40s. Your best bet is to check Honda's website, "build" the exact car you want with the features you need, and see the MSRP. That number is your starting point for negotiations at the dealership. Don't forget to factor in taxes and fees.

I just went through this. We were set on a new CR-V. The sticker said $32,000, but by the time we added a couple of packages and paid all the fees, we were talking closer to $37,000 out the door. My advice? Know your budget and focus on the "out-the-door price" the dealer gives you, not just the monthly payment. That's the only number that really matters.

Don't forget about the long-term value. Hondas are known for great resale value, which means it might cost a bit more upfront than some competitors, but you'll get more of your money back when you sell it or trade it in down the line. A slightly higher purchase price can be a smart investment when you consider lower depreciation and Honda's reputation for reliability and low cost of ownership.

Beyond the model, your location and timing can impact the price. Dealerships in competitive urban markets might offer deeper discounts. Also, buying at the end of the month, quarter, or model year (when new models are arriving) can sometimes give you more leverage. Always get quotes from a few different dealers. The final price is rarely just the MSRP; it's a result of research, negotiation, and understanding the total cost.
