Used Honda Accord for Sale nearBakersfield, CA

How much does the Honda Accord cost in today's market?

Used Honda Accord prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

The Honda Accord's current nationwide average price is $18,729, and its lowest point over the past year was $17,826. Recently, prices have come down for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the Honda Accord a good car?

Yes — the Honda Accord is a strong used-car choice if you want a roomy, comfortable sedan with a long-running reputation for reliability and easy daily livability. The all-generations owner rating is 4.4/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners repeatedly praise the Accord for its spacious cabin, smooth ride, and fuel efficiency, and the newer expert reviews reinforce its polished driving feel and strong safety reputation. Higher trims also add a more upscale cabin experience, which helps the Accord feel a step above many mainstream sedans.

Expert reviews rate the 2021 and 2014 models among the highest across all years.

The main trade-offs in recent expert reviews center on all-wheel drive not being available, technology that can feel less impressive than the rest of the car, and front seats that some shoppers may find less satisfying than the Accord’s otherwise strong package.

33.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2023 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: Honda Sensing, with high-beam assist, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and lane-centering assist.
• Infotainment: a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbo 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine supplies 192 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and a satisfying swell of 192 pound-feet of torque between 1,700 and 5,000 rpm. In Normal mode the Accord SE test car averaged 29.3 mpg on our fuel economy evaluation loop with a 50:50 mix of city and highway driving, and during a week driving the Accord all over Southern California, we saw 31.3 mpg over 540 miles of travel.

Which Honda Accord trim should I buy?

The 2026 Honda Accord offers these trims:

• LX: The entry trim gives you the Accord’s roomy cabin and core everyday usability, and it suits shoppers who want the most affordable path into the model.
• SE: This is the best-value trim because it adds blind-spot monitors and rear cross-traffic alert, along with the more appealing 19-inch wheels and a stronger sense of polish.

What Honda Accord do most buyers choose?

The Honda Accord years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

These high-volume years tend to be popular because they combine broad availability with newer features and strong value. More listings also give you more room to compare prices, trims, and condition before you buy.

What is the Honda Accord's resale value?

Most model years in the table are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used because it points to softer pricing across much of the lineup. A few older years are closer to flat, and one year is slightly up, so the pattern is not perfectly uniform. Overall, the table shows a broadly favorable buying environment for used shoppers.

The 2016 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2015, 2016, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
