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.

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.

Jkross22 It used to be depreciation was the most expensive part of car ownership. Seems like those days are over (New EVs and lux cars excluded). Maintenance + insurance have taken over. Dealerships offering 2 years of maintenance means nothing. That's $200 tops. It's the unexpected repairs - a wiring harness, computer module, heater core, AWD problems - that will cost dearly. Brakes can be expensive since many cars now can't have rotors resurfaced. Even independents are charging a lot for this work.
FreedMike VW tossed in two years' maintenance on my car, and the next one's due after the lease is up. But all the car's needed has been oil changes and tire rotations. Unfortunately, the OEM tires (Hankook Kinergy) were unrepentant trash and needed to be replaced at around 23,000 miles. So...my maintenance cost over over a little under three years has been t $800 for the new tires. That sucks, but the new tires (Goodyear Eagle Sport) are a massive upgrade over the Hankooks. Ah well.
Rna65689660 2015 Ford Edge V6 AWD: 176k miles. One set of Cooper tires, rear brakes, rear struts. Oil change every 10k miles. 1 battery, trans and coolant flush at 100k.2013 MINI Cooper S 6mt: 117k miles. Oil change every 10k, 4 sets tires, 3 sets brakes, rotors twice, 2 windshields,1 HVAC rheostat, 1 cv boot cover. This week pcv valve with valve cover and coolant thermostat, lower radiator hose.The MINI gets driven harder.
Zipper69 Is Toyota trying to squeeze into a space between the mid and full size trucks, both ICE and hybrid?That market can only be sliced so thin until it's a continuous, amorphous mélange and a confused market and irritated buyers.
FreedMike I have it on good authority that Subaru asked Subaru buyers what they wanted out of the Legacy, and they came up with the following cryptic mission: "So outdoorsy I can feel the poison ivy." Subsequently, they tried to add at least 10 square yards of black plastic cladding to the side of the Legacy, creating the Legacy "Lost In The Woods" edition, but the supplier pulled out, thus sealing the Legacy's fate. RIP.
