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.


  • Zipper69 "At least Lincoln finally learned to do a better job of not appearing to have raided the Ford parts bin"But they differentiate by being bland and unadventurous and lacking a clear brand image.
  • Zipper69 "The worry is that vehicles could collect and share Americans' data with the Chinese government"Presumably, via your cellphone connection? Does the average Joe in the gig economy really have "data" that will change the balance of power?
  • Zipper69 Honda seem to have a comprehensive range of sedans that sell well.
  • Oberkanone How long do I have to stay in this job before I get a golden parachute?I'd lower the price of the V-Series models. Improve the quality of interiors across the entire line. I'd add a sedan larger then CT5. I'd require a financial review of Celestiq. If it's not a profit center it's gone. Styling updates in the vision of the XLR to existing models. 2+2 sports coupe woutd be added. Performance in the class of AMG GT and Porsche 911 at a price just under $100k. EV models would NOT be subsidized by ICE revenue.
  • NJRide Let Cadillac be Cadillac, but in the context of 2024. As a new XT5 owner (the Emerald Green got me to buy an old design) I would have happy preferred a Lyriq hybrid. Some who really like the Lyriq's package but don't want an EV will buy another model. Most will go elsewhere. I love the V6 and good but easy to use infotainment. But I know my next car will probably be more electrified w more tech.I don't think anyone is confusing my car for a Blazer but i agree the XT6 is too derivative. Frankly the Enclave looks more prestigious. The Escalade still has got it, though I would love to see the ESV make a comeback. I still think GM missed the boat by not making a Colorado based mini-Blazer and Escalade. I don't get the 2 sedans. I feel a slightly larger and more distinctly Cadillac sedan would sell better. They also need to advertise beyond the Lyriq. I don't feel other luxury players are exactly hitting it out of the park right now so a strengthened Cadillac could regain share.
