Valuation pitfalls

  • Sport Touring hatch vs EX sedan comp mixing — different sub-markets entirely
  • Si trim ($4,000+ MSRP premium) frequently lumped with EX
  • Type R is a specialty performance car routinely undervalued by $5,000+ when treated as a standard Civic
  • 1.5L turbo vs 2.0L NA engine miscoding
