What moves the price on this model
Condition, history, originality, ownership, delivery and modification multipliers apply to every car in the library. They are applied automatically when an advertisement is analysed, and the schedule is set out once, on the analyser page.
Projected value in five years
The case for and against
The only sedan Type R Honda built and the last of the high-compression naturally aspirated K20A cars. Three Australian results across thirty-one months land within three thousand dollars of each other once distance is stripped out, which for a model with no local delivery at all is an unusually stable read.
Landed replacement cost has been estimated at $45,000 to $55,000 and the local room has now answered three times at around $28,000 normalised. A model whose value was argued from the cost of importing another one instead of from what people here pay was carrying fifty per cent too much, and every car is still a grey import whose supply depends on an SEVS approval rather than on anything about the car.
Known faults and risks
Similar cars, and what they cost to run
Honda Australia sold the European FN2 hatch, a softer car on a torsion beam. The FD2 sedan - 165kW, 8,400rpm, double wishbone front, the last high-compression naturally aspirated K20A - was never offered here, so every Australian car came in used under SEVS approval SEV-000659.

Japanese auction money around four million yen puts landed cost, all in, at an estimated $45,000 to $55,000 against a $41,000 value on the last local evidence. When replacement cost sits above the resale price, the resale price is the one that moves, and that is the whole appreciation case here. It is also the whole risk: this value is a function of the yen and of an import approval, neither of which is a property of the car.
$28,250 and $28,000 inside the same month is a tight pair by the standards of anything in this library.
On 14 September 2026 a 2007 FD2 sold at Mulgrave, Victoria for $32,001 at 44,513 kilometres - the first local result in thirty-one months, and the only one of the three read off the primary lot page rather than a compiler. Normalised to the 130,000 kilometres this record expects, the three results fit to $28,572, $27,367 and $25,665.
The $41,000 rested on Japanese auction money landing a car here for an estimated $45,000 to $55,000, and the argument was that when replacement cost sits above resale, resale is the figure that moves. It did not move. Either the landed estimate is wrong or the local room will not pay it, and after three results the distinction stops mattering to a valuation.
It is one car, low for the model at 44,513 kilometres, in the rare Vivid Blue Pearl, modified on Tein coilovers with the originals included, and carrying one key. Nothing in the three results measures colour, and no colour premium is claimed from it.
Three days out this lot stood at $26,250 from 25 bids, twenty per cent under the desk’s published call. The call was not moved, because four days earlier a published note had read 43 bids on a Supra as a room testing the number and that lot then made $75,000. The room here went twenty-two per cent above where it stood with three days left. Late bidding on a thin-volume import is not information, and this record has now watched that hold twice.

The evidence on this model is thin and the report says so on its cover. Read a complete one on a real car first. Seventeen sections, no account, nothing to pay.
One line of email when this desk publishes a call on a Honda Civic Type R, or records a new Australian sale of one. Nothing else, no schedule, and on a quiet model you may hear nothing for months, which is itself worth knowing about a car you are chasing.
