Plaza Honda keeps used and certified pre-owned Accords on the lot at 2740 Nostrand Avenue. Here is which model years to target, what a used Accord really costs to run in the city, and how to buy one without inheriting someone else's problems.

What a used Accord actually costs you

The Accord holds its value, which cuts both ways on the used lot. It means a used one is never dirt cheap, but it also means the car you buy has already shed the steepest years of depreciation while keeping most of its useful life ahead of it. The value sweet spot is a car three to five years old: the first owner absorbed the biggest drop, Honda Sensing is already standard, and there is often factory warranty still on the clock.

Two levers move your number more than the sticker does: the generation you pick, which decides the engine and the tech, and whether you buy straight used or certified pre-owned. Your trade is the third lever, and the one most people underuse. Bring the car in for a number and we will appraise it whether or not you buy from us.

Which Accord years to target

Accord generations on the used market. Availability and pricing vary with mileage, condition, and history. Ask us what is on the lot this week.
Generation Engines What stands out What to check
9th gen
2013–2017
2.4L four (CVT) or 3.5L V6 Simplest and cheapest to own, long reliability record, big trunk Service history, brake and suspension wear, any deferred maintenance on higher-mileage cars
10th gen
2018–2022
1.5L turbo, 2.0L turbo (252 hp), or two-motor hybrid; 6-speed manual on early Sport Big jump in tech and safety, Honda Sensing standard, real punch from the 2.0T On 2018–2019 1.5L cars, confirm the oil-dilution software update was applied; check hybrid battery health
11th gen
2023–present
1.5L turbo or two-motor hybrid Newest screens, Google built-in up top, latest safety, strongest resale Mostly low-mileage off-lease cars; verify how much factory warranty is left

If you want the most proven car for the least money, a clean 9th-gen is hard to beat. If you want the best balance of price, safety tech, and running cost, a late 10th-gen or an off-lease 11th-gen is the pick, and a hybrid from either generation is the cheapest to feed in stop-and-go traffic. The 2.0-liter turbo only exists in the 10th generation, so if you specifically want the quick Accord, that is the era to shop.

What we check before an Accord goes on our lot. City miles are hard miles, so we look closely at the things stop-and-go traffic and Brooklyn pavement wear out first: brakes, tires, alignment, and suspension. We confirm the CVT shifts cleanly, pull the service history, and on 2018–2019 1.5-liter cars we verify Honda's oil-dilution software update is in place. Certified pre-owned cars go further, through Honda's own multi-point inspection and reconditioning. Ask to see the vehicle history report on any car you are considering; we will hand it over.

Certified pre-owned versus straight used

There are two ways to buy a used Accord from us, and the right one depends on how long you plan to keep it. A straight used Accord is the lower price up front, backed by our own inspection and reconditioning. A Honda Certified Pre-Owned Accord costs a little more but adds the manufacturer's rigorous inspection, reconditioning to Honda standards, and extended warranty coverage on top of whatever factory warranty remains. If you are keeping the car a few years and want warranty peace of mind, certified usually pays for itself; if you are budget-first and comfortable with a shorter safety net, straight used is the value play. Both sit on the same lot, and we will show you the price gap on comparable cars.

What makes it work here

Whichever year you land on, the Accord's footprint is what makes it a Brooklyn car. It turns tighter than any crossover, which is what saves a three-point turn on a side street walled in by double-parked cars. At roughly 57 inches tall across recent generations it slides under the clearance bars at garages that wave away taller vehicles, and at about 73 inches wide it fits the narrow monthly stalls those garages charge a premium for. If you buy a hybrid, the city is where it shines: regenerative braking turns every red light into recovered energy instead of wasted heat, so the car is rated higher in town than on the highway, the opposite of almost everything else on the lot.

Worth saying plainly: no Accord of any generation came with all-wheel drive. On good all-season or winter tires it handles New York fine, but if all-wheel drive is non-negotiable, the conversation moves to a used CR-V or another option elsewhere in Plaza Auto Mall.

Compare the whole segment on one block

Plaza Honda sits inside Plaza Auto Mall, so a used Accord does not have to be the only car you drive that day. The group has operated on Nostrand Avenue since 1975 and brings five brands together, Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, and Acura, with certified pre-owned inventory behind each and a multibrand used-car operation covering everything else. More than 1,000 vehicles sit within a seven-minute walk, so you can line a used Accord up against a used Camry or Sonata in one visit, with one trade appraisal and one finance office.

Languages spoken on our team: English, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, Georgian, Arabic, French, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali, Uzbek, Tajik, Turkish, Haitian Creole, Polish, and beyond. Ask for a salesperson in your language when you arrive at 2740 Nostrand Avenue and we will find the right person.

Frequently asked questions

Which used Honda Accord years are the best to buy?

It depends on budget. The 9th generation (2013–2017) is the cheapest to buy and has the longest reliability track record. The 10th generation (2018–2022) is the value pick for tech and safety, since Honda Sensing is standard across it. The 11th generation (2023 and up) is the newest, with the most warranty left. On 2018–2019 1.5-liter cars, confirm the oil-dilution software update is in place.

What is the difference between a certified pre-owned and a regular used Accord?

A regular used Accord is the lower price, backed by our own inspection and reconditioning. A Honda Certified Pre-Owned Accord adds the manufacturer's multi-point inspection, reconditioning to Honda standards, and extended warranty coverage on top of any remaining factory warranty. Certified costs a bit more and makes the most sense if you plan to keep the car several years.

How many miles is too many on a used Accord?

Service history matters more than the odometer. A well-maintained Accord routinely passes 200,000 miles, so a car in the 80,000 to 120,000 range with clean records still has a lot of life ahead of it. We would rather sell you a higher-mileage car with a full service record than a lower-mileage one with gaps.

Turbo, 2.0T, or hybrid, which used Accord engine should I get?

The 1.5-liter turbo is the balanced daily choice and returns strong economy. The 2.0-liter turbo, found only in the 10th generation, is the quick one if you want power. The two-motor hybrid is the cheapest to run in city traffic and is the pick if your driving is mostly short, stop-and-go trips.

Is the used Accord's 1.5-liter turbo reliable in cold weather?

Some early 2018–2019 1.5-liter cars in cold climates saw fuel mix into the engine oil. Honda addressed it with a powertrain software update and, in colder states, extended warranty coverage. Later cars are not affected. On any early car we check that the update was applied, so ask us to confirm it before you buy.

Does a used Accord come with a warranty?

A certified pre-owned Accord is manufacturer-backed with extended coverage. A newer used Accord may still have factory warranty remaining, the original 3-year/36,000-mile basic and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain coverage from its in-service date. We will show you exactly how much is left on the specific car.

Can I finance a used Accord and put my trade toward it?

Yes to both. You can get pre-approved before you visit, and we will appraise your current car whether or not you buy from us. A current trade often covers a meaningful chunk of a used Accord's price.

Does Plaza Honda deliver, and do you pick up cars for service?

Yes to both. We offer free delivery within 25 miles of our Nostrand Avenue showroom, which covers all five boroughs and much of Nassau County. Our service department also runs pickup and drop-off across the NYC metro area.

What is Plaza Auto Mall?

A family-owned Brooklyn dealership group that has operated on Nostrand Avenue since 1975. It brings five new-car brands together, Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, and Acura, along with certified pre-owned inventory from each and a multibrand used-car operation. More than 1,000 vehicles sit within a seven-minute walk, so you can cross-shop in one visit, with one trade appraisal and one finance office.
