What is a 1980 Honda Civic Sedan worth today?

That sits below the $6,100 median of actual sales because the estimate weights the most recent results most heavily, and recent sales have come in under the longer-run median.

About the 1980 Honda Civic Sedan

The second-generation Civic sedan represents Honda's ambitious leap from economy car maker to serious automotive player. Built from 1980-1983, this CVCC-powered compact delivered 67 hp from its innovative stratified charge 1.5-liter four-cylinder, a marvel of early emissions engineering that achieved remarkable fuel economy without catalytic converters. The clean, angular Giugiaro-influenced styling aged beautifully, while Honda's legendary build quality meant many survived decades of daily use. Today's collectors prize unmolested examples, particularly the rare 5-speed manual variants and early 1980 models. The sedan's practical three-box design lacks the sporting appeal of the hatchback, but its significance as the car that established Honda's reputation for reliability and efficiency makes it increasingly collectible. Clean, rust-free examples command surprising premiums, especially in original paint. This generation laid the groundwork for Honda's eventual dominance in the compact segment.
