How much does the 2018 Honda Pilot cost?

Prices have softened 9.05% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,492 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing prices and trims.

Is the 2018 Honda Pilot a good car?

Yes — the 2018 Honda Pilot earns a 4.7/5 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. It fits especially well if you want a practical three-row SUV for family use, with everyday convenience and a straightforward ownership experience. With 35.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding a competitive offer.

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 dependable, with owners calling out its trouble-free feel and confidence for long-term use. The overall tone suggests you can count on it as a family SUV, especially if you value a vehicle that balances comfort with everyday practicality. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure any example you consider has been maintained well and checked for known mechanical concerns.

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

At 62.2% 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 confirm accident records, title status, and service history before you commit. A pre-purchase inspection should get priority, especially if you want to catch mechanical issues that may not show up in photos or a short test drive. Focus closely on overall condition, since a clean-looking listing can still hide past damage or deferred maintenance.

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 patiently but should move quickly on the best listings.

• Deal availability: 35.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,492 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.05% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 62.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $17,721, 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 $17,721 sits slightly below last year's $19,484.

That price movement suggests the model has softened, which can help you buy at a better entry point today but may also limit short-term upside if you plan to resell soon. For future sellers, the current market indicates you should expect value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and maintenance history. Well-kept examples should still hold appeal because shoppers continue to value the Pilot’s space and family-friendly layout.

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:

• 35.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 62.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.05% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

Consider the 2017 if:

• At $16,590, the 2017 costs less than the current year's $17,721 average.
• It appeals to buyers who want a practical family hauler with strong reliability and spaciousness.

The bottom line: Choose the 2018 if you want the stronger current-market balance of price, satisfaction, and availability. If you’re especially price-sensitive, the 2017 is the better value play, but you should expect to trade some of the 2018’s updated appeal for a lower purchase price.
