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.


  • Tassos You can answer your own question for yourself, Tim, if you ask instead"Have Japanese (or Korean) Automakers Eaten Everyone's Lunch"?I am sure you can answer it without my help.
  • Tassos WHile this IS a legitimate used car, unlike the vast majority of Tim's obsolete 30 and 40 year old pieces of junk, the price is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. It is not even a Hellcat. WHat are you paying for? The low miles? I wish it had DOUBLE the miles, which would guarantee it was regularly driven AND well maintained these 10 years, and they were easy highway miles, not damaging stop-go city miles!!!
  • Tassos Silly and RIdiculous.The REAL Tassos.
  • Lostboy If you can stay home when it's bad out in winter, then maybe your 3 season tire WILL be an "ALL-SEASON" tire as your just not going to get winters and make do? I guess tire rotations and alignments just because a whole lot more important!
  • Mike My wife has a ‘20 Mazda3 w/the Premium Package; before that she had a ‘15 Mazda3 i GT; before THAT she had an ‘06 Mazda Tribute S V6, ie: Ford Escape with a Mazda-tuned suspension. (I’ve also had two Miata NAs, a ‘94 & a ‘97M, but that’s another story.) We’ve gotten excellent service out of them all. Her 2020, like the others before it, is our road trip car - gets 38mpg highway, it’s been from NC to Florida, Texas, Newfoundland, & many places in between. Comfortable, sporty, well-appointed, spacious, & reliable. Sure, we’d look at a Mazda hybrid, but not anytime soon.😎
