Honda

Honda built its reputation on reliable and efficient cars, but its enthusiast models are what drive the collector market today. After success with motorcycles, the company launched cars like the S-series roadsters in the 1960s and achieved global scale with the Civic in the 1970s. This foundation of clever engineering allowed Honda to create some of the most memorable performance cars of the late 20th century.

The collector market centers on high-performance models from the 1990s and 2000s. Cars like the Acura NSX, Integra Type R, S2000, and Civic Si defined a generation with their high-revving VTEC engines and sharp handling. These models have seen rapid value appreciation, pulling up prices for well-preserved Preludes, CRXs, and other sporting Hondas from the era.

The market is diverse, with an average sale price around $12,000 reflecting the massive volume of affordable models available. However, the high end of the market shows serious demand, with first-generation NSXs and rare Type R variants selling for six-figure sums. As the generation that grew up with these cars reaches its peak earning years, interest in clean, original examples continues to grow.

Prices range from nominal figures for project cars to over $240,000 for the most sought-after, investment-grade examples.
