"New cars like the 2024 Accord lose 60% of MSRP in five years, but Hondas hold better value long-term," says the Edmunds Research Team (Source: Edmunds Cost-to-Own, 2026). Based on Sidekick data from 1,200 verified 2024 Accord owners as of March 2026, value dips sharply under 30,000 miles due to new car market flood.
Why the Big Drop Early?
Most loss hits right away. Dealers discount new models. Buyers pick low-mile cars. After 30,000 miles, Hondas shine. They keep 70%+ value at 50,000 miles. In zip 19308 (near Philly), local demand for reliable sedans helps. Hybrids lose a bit more (28% in 3 years) but rebound on fuel savings (Source: TopSpeed Analysis, 2026).
