Used Car of the Day: 2018 Honda Civic Type R

Today's used car of the day is a 2018 Honda Civic Type R that's priced higher than a new one.


This California-based car has new brakes, tires, and wipers to go along with window and lighting tints. Oh, and it has Championship White rims.

It's apparently well maintained but there is some minor cosmetic damage, such as curb rash, from daily wear and tear.

Apparently, this all adds up to a $47,000 price. The mileage is unlisted as far as I can tell.

Go check it out here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    In case there is a spinal surgery #2 sometime this summer, I've been putting feelers out there for a new CTR. I've found a nearby dealer that will sell at MSRP, but they got kind of "mmmm" when I asked about the extras they are bound to tack on like the Pulse light, fake carbon fiber trim, etc. But in my hunt, used CTR prices come up. And most of them still start with prices that begin with the number 4. This is reminding me of FJs and Wranglers - almost depreciation proof. Some of you might not like the way it looks, and I'll be one to admit the previous gen was an acquired taste, but with resales going as high as they currently are, if you find an MSRP dealer, you might pay less for a brand new one than a 2020 with few miles on it.

    Honda needs to stop the Civic craze or I will go mentally insane.


  • 1995 SC Well I guess that will be the final nail in the Mini EV's coffin here. It was already not especially competitive, had no range and was way overpriced for what you get, but I like to get stuff like that used and well depreciated on occcasion though I likely would have passed anyway due to the Chinese manufacture.
  • MKizzy If China-branded vehicles arrive on these shores filling the gaping hole of sizes, body styles, and price points largely abandoned by established automakers, they will immediately find an interested customer base among those low/middle income consumers whose parents were (un)happily puttering around in old Hyundai Excels and Yugo GVs. Personally, I do think BYD or another of their major automakers will eventually circumvent the tariffs by building in Mexico and sending vehicles north.
  • Lou_BC Are you not entertained?
  • Urlik Why it isn’t smaller like the CX-7 was compared to the CX-9. The size is why we passed, they need a tweener again.
  • MaintenanceCosts Any plans to build a hybrid with six cylinders?
