2009 Honda Accord LX

Owners selling privately get 24% to 28% less than dealers ask for the same trim, year and mileage. The low end is how the big pricing guides value a private sale (what buyers pay dealers, less a private-party discount); the high end is what private sellers’ asking prices and private-party sales show. A trade-in usually fetches less still.

Priced as LX: 83 of the 86 cars we’ve seen with this VIN pattern are. Median of the 40 asking prices of this trim & year closest in mileage (133k mi–196k mi), each moved to 164k mi ($6,318 nationally), where it is (Texas −0.6%).
