How much does the 2018 Honda Pilot cost?

Prices have softened 7.95% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,344 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

Is the 2018 Honda Pilot a good car?

Yes — the 2018 Honda Pilot earns a 4.67/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. Drivers consistently praise its great value, spaciousness, and driving comfort, and many also like the rear entertainment system and roomy interior. For you, that makes it a strong fit if you want a practical three-row SUV for family use and everyday hauling. With 33.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still meaningful shopping opportunity.

Is the 2018 Honda Pilot reliable?

Owners rate it 4.67/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback describes it as reliable, and it also highlights a trouble-free ownership experience for many drivers. That said, some owners mention emissions-related concerns, so you should still pay close attention to maintenance records and inspection results. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is buying a vehicle with unresolved mechanical issues that were not caught before sale.

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

At 64.8% 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 listing price looks unusually attractive. Put inspection priority on body condition, repair quality, and signs of prior damage, since accident history can affect both reliability and resale value. It also makes sense to focus on maintenance records and any warning signs tied to emissions or other mechanical concerns.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you know what to look for.

• Deal availability: 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,344 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.95% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 64.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $18,178, 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 $18,178 sits slightly below last year's $19,749.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can help you buy more confidently now but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If you keep the vehicle in strong condition and maintain it well, you can help protect its future value. A well-kept example should remain appealing to family buyers who prioritize space and comfort.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.67/5, 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:

• 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 64.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.95% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.67/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

Consider the 2017 if:

• At $17,159, the 2017 costs less than the current year's $18,178 average.
• It suits buyers who want a practical family hauler with strong everyday utility.

The bottom line: You should lean toward the 2018 if you want the better current-market balance of price, satisfaction, and availability. If your budget is tighter, the 2017 is the better secondary path because it lowers your upfront cost while keeping the Pilot’s core family-friendly strengths.
