Buying or selling a Honda Civic and not sure what it’s actually worth? I went through Trade Me listings, and honestly, the data surprised me. This car does not lose value the way most things in this price bracket do. Standard models from the early 2020s are still commanding solid asking prices even with real kilometres on them. The Type R is almost a separate market entirely. Look at what those are fetching across older generations, and you’ll understand why people hold onto them. Even the budget end of the market tells a decent story. Older standard Civics with high mileage still return something meaningful, which isn’t something you can say about most cars at that age. The year-by-year breakdown is in the table, but the one thing that jumps out across the board is consistent demand. Doesn’t matter the year, the trim, or how many kilometres it’s done. Buyers in NZ keep coming back to this car, and that’s exactly why the resale holds.
