How much does the 2018 Honda Pilot cost?

Prices have softened 7.68% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,259 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for comparison shopping.

If you find a listing below $18,268.58, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

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 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 three-row SUV that prioritizes practicality and everyday ease over flash. With 31.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have room to shop selectively.

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 owners also call out its trouble-free feel and dependable family use. The same feedback notes only minor concerns alongside that positive ownership experience, which is encouraging if you want a used SUV you can count on. For long-term ownership, you should still pay close attention to maintenance history and any signs of recurring mechanical issues before you buy.

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

At 64.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report so you can separate clean examples from those with prior damage. After that, prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on vehicles with higher mileage or incomplete service records. Focus your condition check on bodywork, interior wear, and any signs of unresolved mechanical or emissions-related concerns.

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: 31.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,259 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.68% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 64.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $18,268.58, 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 $18,398 sits slightly below last year's $19,929.

That softer pricing can help you buy more carefully now, but it also means future resale gains may be more limited if the market stays soft. If you plan to sell later, condition and documentation will matter more because buyers tend to reward well-kept examples in a market with plenty of inventory. Strong ownership satisfaction can help support demand when it is time to list.

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:

• 31.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 64.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.68% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.67/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

Consider the 2017 if:

• At $17,200, the 2017 costs less than the current year's $18,398 average.
• It suits buyers who want a practical three-row SUV for family hauling.

The bottom line: You should start with the 2018 if you want the stronger current-market balance of price, satisfaction, and inventory. If your budget is tighter, the 2017 is the better value-first alternative, especially if you find one in excellent condition and can live with a slightly older model year.
