Where to find 2026 Honda Passports for sale

A 2026 Honda Passport is sold through Honda dealerships, used-car marketplaces like Autotrader and Cars.com, private sellers, and certified pre-owned programs. Since the 2026 model year is recent, most vehicles available now are either new inventory at dealerships or trade-ins that have been certified and resold. Dealerships typically list their stock on their own websites and on national sites; private sellers post on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and OfferUp.

The price you'll see depends on mileage, condition, trim level, and location. A new 2026 Passport starts at a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) that varies by trim — Sport, EX, EX-L, and Touring are the standard tiers — but actual dealer prices may differ. Used 2026 models will cost less than new, with the discount tied to how many miles are on the odometer and whether the vehicle is certified pre-owned (CPO) or sold as-is by a private party.

Key Takeaways

  • New 2026 Passports are sold at Honda dealerships; used ones appear on dealership lots, Autotrader, Cars.com, and private marketplaces like Facebook Marketplace.
  • Price depends on trim level, mileage, condition, and whether the vehicle is certified pre-owned or sold as-is by a private seller.
  • Certified pre-owned Passports come with a warranty and have passed a dealer inspection, while private-sale vehicles do not.
  • Before buying, have a mechanic inspect any used vehicle, check the vehicle history report (Carfax or AutoCheck), and compare prices across multiple sources.

New versus used 2026 Passports

A new 2026 Passport from a dealership comes with the full manufacturer warranty, which typically covers the powertrain for five years or 60,000 miles. You choose the color, trim, and options, though some configurations may require a longer wait if the dealership needs to order from Honda. The price is set by Honda's MSRP, though dealers may offer discounts, rebates, or financing incentives depending on current promotions.

A used 2026 Passport costs less upfront but carries unknown history unless it is certified pre-owned. A CPO Passport has passed a multi-point inspection, comes with a limited warranty (usually three years or 36,000 miles for the powertrain), and includes roadside information. A private-sale used Passport has no warranty unless the seller offers one, but you may negotiate the price more freely. Either way, the vehicle's condition and maintenance history matter more than the model year alone.

How to check a vehicle history and condition

Before you commit to buying a used 2026 Passport, order a vehicle history report from Carfax or AutoCheck using the vehicle identification number (VIN). The report shows past accidents, title status, service records, and whether the vehicle was ever flooded or declared a total loss. A clean report does not may provide the vehicle is problem-free, but a report with multiple accidents or a salvage title is a red flag.

Have an independent mechanic inspect the Passport in person. This costs $100 to $200 but can reveal transmission issues, suspension wear, or engine problems that the seller may not disclose. If you buy from a dealership, the vehicle has usually been inspected already, but a second opinion from your own mechanic is still worthwhile. For private sales, an inspection is essential — it is your only protection against buying a vehicle with hidden damage.

Comparing prices across dealerships and marketplaces

Use Autotrader, Cars.com, Edmunds, and Kelley Blue Book (KBB) to see what 2026 Passports are priced at in your area. Enter the trim level, mileage, and condition to get a range. Prices vary by region — a Passport in a rural area may cost less than the same vehicle in a major city. Check multiple dealerships and private listings to understand the market before you make an offer.

When comparing, note whether the price includes dealer fees, documentation fees, and taxes. Some listings show the out-the-door price; others do not. Call or email the seller to confirm what is included and whether there is room to negotiate. Dealerships often have less flexibility on price than private sellers, but they may offer financing or trade-in options that lower your total cost.

Financing and trade-in options

If you are financing the purchase, you can get a loan through a bank, credit union, or the dealership itself. Banks and credit unions often offer lower interest rates than dealerships, so it is worth getting pre-approved before you shop. A dealership can match or beat that rate, but you will know your baseline. The loan term (36, 48, 60, or 72 months) affects your monthly payment and total interest paid.

If you have a vehicle to trade in, the dealership will appraise it and explore its value toward the purchase price of the Passport. You can also sell your old vehicle privately or to a service like Carvana or Vroom, which may offer more than a dealership trade-in. Compare all three options — dealership trade-in, private sale, and online buyout — to see which nets you the most money.

What to bring and what to expect at the dealership

Bring a valid driver's license, proof of insurance, and proof of income (recent pay stub or tax return) if you are financing. Have your Social Security number ready for a credit check. If you are trading in a vehicle, bring the title and keys. The dealership will run your credit, present financing options, and have you sign paperwork — this process typically takes one to three hours.

Before you sign, review the Monroney label (the window sticker), which lists the MSRP, trim, options, fuel economy, and safety ratings. Check that the price on the contract matches what you negotiated. Read the warranty terms and any add-ons (extended warranty, paint protection, fabric guard) that the dealership may have included — you can decline these. Once you sign, the dealership handles the title transfer and registration, though you may need to visit your local DMV to complete registration in some states.

Red flags and common pitfalls

Avoid buying a used Passport with a salvage or rebuilt title unless you understand the history and have had it inspected by a specialist. Do not skip the vehicle history report or mechanic inspection, even if the seller seems trustworthy. Be wary of prices that seem too low — they often reflect hidden problems or a rushed sale. If a private seller pressures you to buy quickly or refuses to let you inspect the vehicle, walk away.

At a dealership, watch for pressure to add expensive extras like extended warranties or gap insurance without explaining what they cover. You have the right to decline any add-on. If the dealership discovers an issue during the sale (like a lien on the title), they must disclose it and resolve it before you take the vehicle. If something feels off, trust that instinct and shop elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Passport and a Pilot?

The Honda Passport is a two-row SUV designed for off-road capability, while the Pilot is a three-row family SUV focused on comfort and cargo space. The Passport is smaller, lighter, and has a body-on-frame design; the Pilot is unibody and seats up to eight. Choose the Passport if you want off-road performance; choose the Pilot if you need more seating and interior space.

Does the 2026 Passport come with all-wheel drive?

The 2026 Passport comes standard with part-time four-wheel drive (4WD), not all-wheel drive (AWD). Four-wheel drive is better for off-road use and rough terrain. All-wheel drive is a different system designed for on-road traction in snow and rain. If you want AWD instead, the Passport is not the right vehicle — consider the Pilot or CR-V.

What is the fuel economy of a 2026 Passport?

The 2026 Passport with a 3.5-liter V6 engine gets approximately 18 to 20 miles per gallon combined (city and highway), depending on whether you use two-wheel or four-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive reduces fuel economy slightly. These are estimates; actual mileage varies based on driving habits, terrain, and maintenance.

Can I negotiate the price at a Honda dealership?

Yes, dealership prices are negotiable, especially on used vehicles and outgoing model years. Research the market price first using Kelley Blue Book or Edmunds, then make an offer below the asking price. Dealerships are more flexible on used inventory than new, and they may offer discounts if you are paying cash or financing through them.

What warranty does a 2026 Passport come with?

A new 2026 Passport comes with a five-year, 60,000-mile basic warranty and a five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. A certified pre-owned Passport typically has a three-year, 36,000-mile powertrain warranty. A used Passport from a private seller has no warranty unless the seller offers one in writing.
