Factors that influence price
Beyond trim, several variables influence how much a given 2002 Civic will cost on the used market.
- Mileage: Lower miles generally command higher prices; high-mileage cars tend to be cheaper, though well-maintained examples can still attract strong offers.
- Maintenance history and records: A car with complete service history and recent maintenance (timing belt/chain, brakes, tires) tends to be more valuable.
- Overall condition: Cosmetic and mechanical condition, rust, leaks, and accident history affect value.
- Original features and options: Sunroof, alloys, two-door vs four-door configurations can influence price.
- Location and seasonality: Regional demand and sale timing (spring/summer) can shift prices.
- Transmission type: Manual transmissions are less common and can impact price based on buyer preferences.
- Modifications and aftermarket parts: Quality upgrades can raise or lower value depending on buyer taste and perceived reliability.
Understanding these factors helps buyers negotiate and sellers price realistically, and can improve confidence when evaluating listings.
Summary
The 2002 Honda Civic sits at a broad price point in today’s market. Base DX/LX models with higher miles typically fall toward the lower end, EX models command mid-range prices, and the Si variant can carry a premium when in good condition with lower mileage.
