How much does the 2018 Honda Pilot cost?

Prices have softened 8.82% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,538 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

Is the 2018 Honda Pilot a good car?

Yes — the 4.7/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction. Drivers consistently praise its great value, spaciousness, and driving comfort, and many also like the roomy interior and rear entertainment system. That lines up well with its family-focused role as a practical three-row SUV with useful everyday tech and comfort features. With 35.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding a competitive price.

Is the 2018 Honda Pilot reliable?

Owners rate it 4.7/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback describes it as reliable and trouble-free overall, with owners also pointing to dependable day-to-day use and confidence in long-term ownership. The same feedback highlights its value and comfort, which usually matters when you want a used SUV that can handle family duty without constant drama. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is making sure any individual vehicle has been maintained well and does not have unresolved mechanical issues.

What should I look for when buying a used 2018 Honda Pilot?

At 62% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should run a vehicle history report before you commit, especially if the price looks unusually attractive. Put a pre-purchase inspection near the top of your checklist so you can catch hidden body, mechanical, or electrical issues. Focus on overall condition, maintenance records, and signs of prior repair quality rather than relying on mileage alone.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2018 Honda Pilot?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer's market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile options.

• Deal availability: 35.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,538 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.82% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 62.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $17,695, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2018 Honda Pilot's resale value?

The current average of $17,695 sits slightly below last year's $19,406.

That softer pricing can help you buy at a more favorable entry point, but it also suggests resale values have eased compared with a year ago. If you plan to sell later, your return will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the vehicle has been maintained. A clean history and strong upkeep matter more when the market is already showing some price pressure.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.7/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2018 Honda Pilot or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2018 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2018 if:

• 35.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 62% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.82% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

Consider the 2017 if:

• At $16,498, the 2017 costs less than the current year's $17,695 average.
• It emphasizes practical family use with strong reliability and spaciousness.

The bottom line: If you want the better-balanced shopping opportunity, the 2018 is the stronger primary pick because it combines solid owner satisfaction with a softer market price. If your top priority is spending less upfront, the 2017 is the better secondary path, especially if you find one with a clean history and good maintenance records.
