The bottom line: High mileage won’t stop an old Honda Accord selling. Every Accord generation but the oldest is offered more than a typical car its age.
No buyer offered the most every time, so get a quote from each of Peddle, Wheelzy and CashForCars.
If the catalytic converter is gone, say so when you ask for quotes. The driver checks for it at pickup, and a surprise can lower the offer.
If your Accord still drives well, you may get more by selling it privately, though it takes longer than an instant offer.

How Much Can You Sell an Old Honda Accord For?
The newer the Accord, the higher the offer. The two model-year groups quoted most are 2003 to 2007 and 2008 to 2012, from our own quote data.
Both are offered more than a typical car from the same years, which is offered $830 for 2008 to 2012 and $490 for 2003 to 2007.
A 2013 to 2017 Accord ten years or older is offered $1,768, against $1,140 for a typical car from those years. A 1998 to 2002 Accord is offered $390, against $405 for a typical car from those years.

Model years Honda Accord Offers All cars of the same years Offers 1998 to 2002 $390 82 $405 1,912 2003 to 2007 $525 135 $490 4,120 2008 to 2012 $950 98 $830 4,170 2013 to 2017 $1,768 14 $1,140 1,178 
Across all ages, buyers typically offer $520 for an Accord ten years or older. Most of the old Accords quoted are 2007 or older, and older cars are offered less, which pulls that pooled figure down.
Up to about 20 years old, an Accord is offered more than a typical car of the same age. Past that, it is offered less.

What Online Car Buyers Offered for Accords With Over 200,000 Miles
At the same age, a car with 200,000 miles or more gets a lower best offer than one with fewer miles. The gap is biggest on cars 10 to 14 years old, and past 20 years it’s much smaller: $418 past 200,000 miles against $635 between 50,000 and 100,000.

Peddle, Wheelzy and CashForCars quoted these five Accords through the comparison tool. Each car got all three offers on the same day.
All five had over 200,000 miles and still drove. Two had body damage, one had been in an accident, and two had a warning light on.
| Accord | Condition | Peddle | Wheelzy | CashForCars |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2004 Honda Accord, 300,000 miles | Drives, accident, body damage | $365 | $430 | $488 |
| 2015 Honda Accord, 265,000 miles | Drives, warning light on | $1,640 | $1,040 | $1,218 |
| 2007 Honda Accord, 220,000 miles | Drives, warning light on | $400 | $439 | $383 |
| 2002 Honda Accord, 212,000 miles | Drives, body damage | $395 | $400 | $394 |
| 2009 Honda Accord, 201,000 miles | Drives, no warning lights | $910 | $356 | $543 |
Peddle and Wheelzy each offered the most on two of these Accords, and CashForCars on one. No buyer offered the most every time, so get a quote from all three.
If your Accord still drives well like these, you may get more by selling it privately, but it takes longer than an instant offer.
How Much Does Damage Lower an Accord Offer?
A missing catalytic converter lowers the offer the most, then a car that won’t start. These figures come from cars of every age quoted by several buyers, not Accords alone, and each one compares cars of the same age and mileage.
What the condition of a car does to its best offer 1,564 cars of every age quoted by up to three buyers, compared inside matched mileage and age groupsShow the numbers
Condition Change in best offer Offers Catalytic converter missing -57% 389 Does not start -46% 916 Starts but does not drive -29% 686 Sitting at a mechanic -23% 485 Dashboard warning light on -18% 1,434 Broken glass, mirror or light -14% 867 Body damage -13% 867 Loan outstanding -5% 645 Interior damage -3% 867 Accident history 1% 1,434
Not starting puts the best offer about 46% lower than a comparable car that drives.
A 2004 Honda Accord with 300,000 miles wouldn’t start, and its best offer was $340. The 2004 Honda Accord in the table had the same miles and body damage from an accident, but it still drove, and its best offer was $488.
Should You Fix an Old Accord Before You Sell It?
Big repairs usually cost more than an old Accord is offered. RepairPal puts a new transmission at $6,238 to $6,764 and a head gasket at $2,572 to $3,386, with parts at the manufacturer’s list price.
Get the repair quote and compare it with how much more buyers would offer for the Accord once it runs. Buyers take an Accord with a blown engine or a bad transmission as it is.
On a 2018 to 2020 Accord, find out whether Honda will pay for a failed engine before you sell it.
Selling Your Accord Once You Have an Offer
Accept the best quote, and that buyer sends a tow truck. Before it comes, have the title in your name and a photo ID ready.
You sign the title over to the driver and are paid before the car is loaded.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many miles is too many to sell a Honda Accord?
There isn’t a limit. Two Accords with 300,000 miles each got offers from all three buyers.
More miles usually means a lower offer, and so does anything that stops the car from driving. There is more in our guide to selling a car with over 200k miles.
Can you sell a Honda Accord with no catalytic converter?
Yes. A 2008 Honda Accord with 195,000 miles and no converter was offered $650 by Peddle and $279 by Wheelzy.
Say the converter is gone when you ask for quotes. The driver checks for it at pickup, and a surprise can lower the offer.
Can you sell a Honda Accord that won’t start?
Yes. Junk car buyers quote cars that don’t start, and the tow truck winches it on.
Check the 12-volt battery first, since a dead one stops any car from starting.
Does an old Honda Accord V6 get a higher offer than a four-cylinder?
We don’t have enough quotes on old V6 Accords to say.
Pick the V6 trim on the quote form, so every buyer quotes the right car.
