When shopping for a used car, the options seem limitless with all the available makes, models, and model years. However, one brand is always a great investment for drivers who want maximum value and performance when buying a used car: Honda. This is because of Honda's legendary reliability, longevity, and top-notch driving experience. 

And Honda's rock-solid resale value gives you peace of mind that even when it's time to resell your used Honda, you'll still get top dollar. The fact that so many Hondas make many owners happy over their lifespan is proof that they are built for the long haul and maintain their appeal. 

That's why Hondas are one of the most popular used cars for sale near Durham. Here at the Hendrick Automotive Group, we see North Carolina drivers from all walks of life gravitate toward used Hondas. From first-time car buyers to seasoned parents upgrading the family ride, the demand for pre-owned Hondas continues to go strong year after year.

Honda's Sedans Continue to Dominate 

Honda's success in the American auto market started with its iconic Civic and Accord models, and both still feel as fresh and fun as ever. The Civic is a peppy, fuel-efficient ride that's small enough to fit in tight parking spaces but roomy enough not to cramp passengers, with enough cargo space for everything from groceries to your tailgating gear. So whether you need a great commuter car or your pride and joy just got into college, and you want to send them off with something safe and reliable, the Civic is a great choice. 

The Honda Accord builds on the successes of the Civic and presents them in a midsize sedan package with a splash of luxury. The Accord's extra interior space, modern tech features, and smooth ride make it one family-friendly machine. And it still delivers great fuel economy and a fun driving experience. The Accord has been a go-to sedan for Durham drivers for generations, and it still turns heads for all the right reasons. 

An SUV for Every Walk of Life

If you need something bigger with tons of versatility, Honda's line of SUVs has plenty to offer. The CR-V is a top seller that appeals to just about everyone. This compact SUV is the Swiss Army knife of Honda's lineup, checking boxes all over the place thanks to its practical balance of smart and flexible cargo space, a sporty ride, impressive fuel efficiency, surprisingly roomy interior, cutting-edge technology, available all-wheel drive, and ability to fit into some of those parking spaces that are usually only big enough for sedans. The Honda CR-V is perfect for growing families, daily commuters, and weekend warriors. 

If you're looking to take the road less traveled, the Honda Passport is the adventurous midsize SUV you're looking for. It's built for rugged adventure yet still gives you all the comfort and refinement of a daily driver. The Passport has powerful engine options and a high ground clearance, and many models feature standard all-wheel drive. So, if you spend your weekdays commuting and weekends camping at Eno River State Park, the Honda Passport is calling your name. 

Inside, the Passport keeps things sleek and simple, with wide seats, generous cargo space, and plenty of room to stretch out. It's a favorite among drivers who want utility without going full-size, and it hits a sweet spot for people who want to load up bikes, coolers, or hiking gear without sacrificing everyday comfort.

When your crew or cargo grows, it's time to call on the Honda Pilot. This three-row SUV has enough space for up to eight passengers and still delivers a smooth, family-friendly ride. If your weekends are filled with youth sports, carpooling, or group outings, the Pilot will keep up without missing a beat.

Used Pilot models often include features like a power tailgate, tri-zone climate control, and rear-seat entertainment systems, making road trips a lot more enjoyable for everyone. And if you ever want to venture beyond Durham, its available all-wheel drive gives you the freedom to hit the open road with confidence.

Did Someone Say Minivans Can Be Cool?

Yes, we said it; and the Honda Odyssey is cool. This minivan has a long-standing reputation as one of the best family vehicles on the road, and it's easy to see why. It's insanely practical, incredibly comfortable, and packed with clever features that keep everyone happy, even on long trips. It's one of many reasons that Honda has outlasted so many competitors who have abandoned the minivan because they just couldn't compete.

Families love the Odyssey for its spacious interior and easy-access sliding doors. Whether you're loading up for a weekend soccer tournament or picking up supplies for a backyard barbecue, the Odyssey is your trusted sidekick. And when you buy one used, you can often score top-tier features without the new minivan price tag. 

If Only Honda Made a Truck…

Lucky you, they do! And it's everything you would expect from a Honda. The Ridgeline pickup offers all of the must-have truck essentials like power, a spacious bed, available all-wheel drive, and strong hauling and towing capability. Plus it adds that signature Honda comfort, refinement, and smooth ride that makes it feel more like an SUV than the rugged workhorse it is. 

So whether you're navigating the narrow roads near Brightleaf Square or cruising the highway, the Ridgeline feels composed, confident, and just plain comfortable without making you feel like you're piloting a construction rig. If you've been eyeing a pickup but didn't think one could fit your lifestyle, take a closer look at the Ridgeline. Because it's Honda's version of a truck, it's smart, versatile, and surprisingly fun to drive.

In case you needed any icing on the cake, several of these Hondas are also available in hybrid models, giving you the opportunity to drive your dream car while reducing your carbon footprint and embracing an eco-conscious lifestyle without sacrificing performance. 

Ready for the cherry on top? Since Honda has always been at the forefront of safety and driver-assist technology, you can be assured that whichever used Honda you choose will have that model year's most robust and high-tech suite of safety and driver-assist features to keep you and your passengers protected any time you're on the road. 

All That's Left Is a Test Drive 

At the end of the day, used Honda vehicles need very little help in the form of a sales pitch. They speak for themselves through their unmatched reliability, longevity, performance, fuel efficiency, comfort, lasting value, versatility, style, modern safety and tech, and low maintenance costs.

Here at the Hendrick Automotive Group, our various dealerships take pride in helping each customer find the perfect fit. Whether that's a sleek used Civic for your morning commute, a family-friendly CR-V for your weekend adventures, a spacious Pilot for your growing crew, or a stylish Accord that checks every box, there's a used Honda for you. 

So, the next time you're thinking about upgrading your ride, stop by and take a few used Hondas for a spin. We bet you'll find that perfect match waiting for you on our lot. And when you do, you'll know that you're driving off in a vehicle that's ready for whatever comes next in your North Carolina journey.
