Honda

Honda's Type R badge started in Japan. The NSX-R, Integra Type R and Civic Type R were built for the home market first, and several — the EK9 Civic Type R and the Beat kei roadster among them — were never sold in the U.S. at all.

High-revving VTEC engines keep their value when they have been looked after, so Japanese cars with a clear service record are worth waiting for.

Honda models worth importing

Is my Honda legal to import?

Under the U.S. 25-year rule, a car built for another market can be imported once it is 25 years old, counted to the month of manufacture. Every Honda above shows its build date, and each listing tells you the month it opens. Newer cars can still be bought ahead of time and held until they qualify — see our import guide for the details.
