How Much Should I Pay: 2005 Honda Civic
Question From Steve: How much should I pay for 2005 Honda Civic DX Value Package w/ 82k miles?
Queen of the Road: Hi Steve. Welcome to AutoBragBlog! The price you pay depends on who you’re buying from.
For a 2005 Honda Civic Coupe DX 5SP with 82,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $6,100 (being in above average condition) to $4,700 (being in average condition) and $3,400 (being in below average condition).
A fair range to buy from a dealership is +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $4,200 to $7,100. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.
Check the carfax and do plenty of research on the history of the vehicle. Ask for their maintenance records. You can even bring a mechanic for a brief inspection. Here’s a good article to read before continuing: Car Buying Tips From An Insider. Let me know if you have any further car questions.
