How much does the 2018 Honda Pilot cost?

Prices have softened 7.02% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,345 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. That makes it a strong fit if you want a family-focused midsize SUV with practical everyday usability and broad appeal. With 34.4% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a meaningful chance to find a competitive offer.

Is the 2018 Honda Pilot reliable?

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

User feedback describes it as reliable, and the overall tone is that it’s a dependable SUV with minor areas for improvement. Drivers also point to its trouble-free ownership experience and the confidence that comes from a vehicle many families can count on. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure you avoid examples with unresolved mechanical issues or poor maintenance history.

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

At 63.8% 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, signs of prior repair, and any evidence of mechanical or electrical issues. It’s also smart to focus on overall condition and maintenance records, since that will matter more than mileage alone on a family SUV like this.

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 value.

• Deal availability: 34.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,345 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.02% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 63.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $18,219, 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 $18,304 sits slightly below last year's $19,686.

That softer pricing suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable entry point. For a future seller, it also means resale value may depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the vehicle has been maintained. Well-kept examples should hold up better than average because shoppers still value the Pilot’s space and family-friendly layout.

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:

• 34.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 63.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.02% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.67/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

Consider the 2017 if:

• At $17,120, the 2017 costs less than the current year's $18,304 average.
• It offers practical family-hauling value with strong owner praise for reliability and comfort.

The bottom line: Choose the 2018 if you want the stronger current-market balance of price, inventory, and owner satisfaction. If your top priority is spending less upfront, the 2017 is the better value-oriented alternative, especially if you find one in excellent condition.
