New or certified pre-owned Honda HR-V: which fits Egg Harbor Township buyers?
Buy a new HR-V if you want to choose your own trim and color, including by factory order, and start under the new-vehicle warranty. Buy a certified pre-owned HR-V if you want to pay less and still get Honda’s certified inspection and coverage. Boardwalk Honda on Tilton Road in Egg Harbor Township sells both.

At Boardwalk Honda, buy a new HR-V for choice and certified to pay less
Buy new if the trim and color matter most. We offer custom factory orders for new Hondas, so you can order the trim and color you want instead of settling for what is on the lot. Certified pre-owned costs less than new, with a lower price or a lower monthly payment.
Honda’s certified program covers 2021 to 2026 vehicles with under 80,000 miles. Each certified vehicle gets a 182-point inspection, and covered repairs carry a $0 deductible (American Honda Motor Co., Inc., 2026). Honda’s certified program also includes a multi-point mechanical and appearance inspection by certified technicians.
Choose the new HR-V if you want a fresh vehicle built to your order. Choose the certified HR-V if the lower price matters more than picking every option yourself.
What warranty comes with a new HR-V and a certified one?
A new 2026 HR-V starts under Honda’s basic warranty of 3 years or 36,000 miles, with powertrain coverage of 5 years or 60,000 miles and corrosion protection for 5 years with no mileage limit (American Honda, Warranty Booklet, 2026). A certified pre-owned HR-V carries Honda’s certified coverage, which runs longer on the powertrain. The table sets the two side by side.
| Coverage | New HR-V (2026 model year) | Honda True Certified Pre-Owned |
|---|---|---|
| Powertrain | 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first | 7 years or 100,000 total odometer miles |
Certified coverage also includes roadside assistance for 2 years or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first, beginning after the original New Vehicle Limited Warranty expires. Honda’s certified benefits include 2 complimentary oil changes within 1 year or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first. If a mechanical breakdown keeps the vehicle overnight more than 100 miles from home, the program reimburses $100 per day for 3 days, up to $300 (American Honda, Warranty Booklet, 2026).
For a buyer who wants the longest powertrain term, the certified HR-V gives 7 years or 100,000 total odometer miles, compared with 5 years or 60,000 miles on a new one.
What sets the price of a new or certified HR-V in New Jersey?
Honda’s published 2026 starting prices run from $26,500 for the LX (FWD) to $31,850 for the EX-L (AWD). The LX (AWD) starts at $28,000, the Sport (FWD) at $28,300, the Sport (AWD) at $29,800 and the EX-L (FWD) at $30,350.
New Jersey taxes a motor vehicle purchase at 6.625% of the purchase price, whether the vehicle is new or used (New Jersey Division of Taxation, 2026). Registration depends on weight and model year. A car under 3,500 pounds pays $59.00 within two years of its model year and $46.50 once it is older (New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, 2026). The HR-V LX (FWD) weighs 3,159 pounds, so it falls in the under-3,500-pound class.
Titling costs $60 with no financing, $85 with one lien and $110 with two liens (New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, 2026). New Jersey sets no dollar cap on the dealer documentary service fee, but the dealer must itemize each service in writing (New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, 2022).
Add the sticker price, the 6.625% tax and the title and registration fees before you compare a new and a certified HR-V.
