Used value estimate
2008 Honda Accord value
By Hari Vinayak · Updated 2026-06-12
Quick answer
A 2008 Honda Accord in good condition with average mileage (about 225,000 miles) is worth roughly $4,200 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $3,850 to $4,550, or about $4,850 at a dealer. Note: 2008 is a flagged year for this model (2008–2012) — V6 models with VCM: oil consumption and fouled plugs. Four-cylinder cars of the same years are much safer. Expect to pay at the lower end and budget for that risk.

- 2008–2012 V6 (VCM): oil consumption, fouled plugs, and engine mount wear — ask if a VCM disabler was used and check for misfire history

- 2013–2015 CVT models: generally solid, but confirm CVT fluid service
