What Does It Cost to Buy a Honda in Atlantic City, NJ?
A Honda in Atlantic City starts at a manufacturer’s suggested $24,695 for the Civic Sedan LX and tops out at $55,195 for the Pilot Black Edition, and every one of them pays New Jersey’s 6.625% sales tax (New Jersey Division of Taxation, 2026). Owning it adds registration and insurance, and the model, your daily drive, and whether you buy new or used move the total most.
Atlantic City buyers shop a long list, from a commuter sedan to an eight-seat Pilot, and we sell all of it in one store on Tilton Road. Match the model to your actual week and the price follows.

A hybrid CR-V pays back on the daily drive in Atlantic City
For an Atlantic City commuter, the hybrid CR-V is the step up that earns its price. EPA certifies the front-wheel-drive hybrid at 40 combined mpg against 30 for the gas front-wheel-drive CR-V. The CR-V LX (2WD) starts at $30,920 and the CR-V Sport Hybrid (2WD) at $35,630, so $4,710 buys 10 more miles per gallon.
City driving widens the gap. EPA rates the gas CR-V at 28 mpg in the city and the hybrid at 43. That matters in a town where the roads are slow. Egg Harbor Township holds 18 of the 100 places on the 2023 regional list of the worst county and local road bottlenecks (South Jersey Transportation Planning Organization, 2024). A buyer from Atlantic City who crosses the township every morning spends a lot of time in the kind of traffic where the city rating counts.
If the budget is tighter, the Civic Sedan LX at $24,695 is the lowest suggested starting price among the Hondas we sell. EPA rates a Civic 4Dr at 31 combined mpg, and 49 combined in its hybrid version. Either one keeps the fuel bill low for a driver who never needs a third row.
Resale belongs in the same math. The 2026 CR-V won a Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value award as the top compact SUV with a projected 53.2% five year resale value, and the Civic is projected at 52.5% (Kelley Blue Book, 2026). A car that holds its value costs less to own, even when the sticker is not the lowest on the lot.
An Atlantic City family gets 44 more cubic feet in an Odyssey for $400 more
A family in Atlantic City that needs eight seats should compare the Pilot and the Odyssey side by side, because the prices sit close together and the space does not. The Pilot Sport (2WD) starts at $42,395 and offers up to 8 seats with 111.8 cubic feet of maximum cargo. The Odyssey EX-L starts at $42,795 with 8 seats and 155.8 cubic feet. That is 44 more cubic feet for $400.
Fuel does not separate them. EPA rates the front-wheel-drive Pilot and the Odyssey at 22 combined mpg each. So the choice comes down to how the family uses the room. Strollers, sports bags, and a trip to college all fit in the Odyssey’s longer floor. The Pilot gives up some cargo and adds the option of all-wheel drive and a 5,000 pound tow rating, which we cover in the next section.
Step down in size and the price falls fast. The CR-V LX (2WD) offers 76.5 cubic feet at $30,920. Moving up to the Pilot Sport costs $11,475 more and adds 35.3 cubic feet. The HR-V LX (FWD) offers 55.1 cubic feet at $26,500, so the step from HR-V to CR-V costs $4,420 for 21.4 more cubic feet.
That ladder tells a family where to stop. Two kids and a dog fit a CR-V. A carpool, three car seats, or grandparents on weekends point to the Odyssey or the Pilot, and at that point the $400 gap between them is small next to what the choice changes day to day.
Towing 5,000 pounds from Atlantic City starts at $40,795 in a Ridgeline
A buyer in Atlantic City who tows a boat, a camper, or a utility trailer pays least for a 5,000 pound rating in the Ridgeline Sport at $40,795. The Pilot Sport (AWD) carries the same 5,000 pound rating at $44,495, which is $3,700 more. The Passport RTL, also rated for 5,000 pounds, starts at $44,950.
The Pilot has a second tier worth knowing. The Pilot Sport (2WD) tows 3,500 pounds at $42,395, and moving to the Sport (AWD) adds $2,100 and lifts the rating by 1,500 pounds. A buyer who tows a light trailer a few times a summer can stay with the 3,500 pound rating and keep the $2,100. A buyer who hauls something heavier should pay for the higher number, because a trailer should never sit near the limit.
The Ridgeline adds payload for gear. The Sport trim carries a maximum payload of 1,583 pounds. That suits a weekend of coolers, chairs, and tools in the bed. The Odyssey EX-L tows 3,500 pounds, so it handles a small camper, but not the loads the Ridgeline and Pilot AWD can pull.
Skip the towing premium if you do not tow. The CR-V and the Prologue are each rated for 1,500 pounds, and their suggested prices start well below the 5,000 pound group. A buyer who only needs a bike rack or a small cargo trailer saves thousands by staying in that class.
A certified used Honda in Atlantic City carries 7 years of powertrain cover
A buyer in Atlantic City who wants a lower entry point should look at certified pre-owned. HondaTrue Certified covers 2021 to 2026 vehicles with under 80,000 miles. It adds powertrain coverage of 7 years or 100,000 miles, plus non powertrain coverage for 2 additional years or up to 100,000 miles, with a 182 point inspection and a $0 deductible on covered repairs (Honda Certified Pre-Owned, 2026).
Set that next to the new-car warranty. A new Honda carries a basic warranty of 3 years or 36,000 miles and a powertrain warranty of 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. The certified powertrain term runs longer than the new one, which is why a used buyer in Atlantic County can shop certified without giving up protection.
We sell new, used, and certified pre-owned Hondas in the same store, so a buyer can drive a used Accord and a new one back to back. The sticker difference is the buyer’s to see on the exact vehicle. What the certified program adds is a documented inspection and a repair deductible of $0, two things that make a used price easier to trust.
Atlantic City buyers pay the sticker, 6.625% tax, registration and insurance
An Atlantic City buyer pays the manufacturer’s suggested price, then New Jersey’s 6.625% sales tax, then a registration fee set by weight and age, then insurance every month. Those four make up the number you plan around. The suggested starting prices climb by need, and each step buys a specific thing.
| Model and trim | Suggested starting price | What the price buys |
|---|---|---|
| Honda Civic Sedan LX | $24,695 | 150 hp and 5 seats |
| Honda HR-V LX (FWD) | $26,500 | 55.1 cu ft of max cargo and 5 seats |
| Honda CR-V LX (2WD) | $30,920 | 76.5 cu ft of max cargo, 1,500 lbs max towing |
| Honda Ridgeline Sport | $40,795 | 5,000 lbs max towing, 1,583 lbs max payload |
| Honda Odyssey EX-L | $42,795 | 155.8 cu ft of max cargo, 8 seats |
| Honda Pilot Sport (AWD) | $44,495 | 5,000 lbs max towing, up to 8 seats |
Those are the manufacturer’s suggested prices, before destination freight, tax, title, license, and dealer fees.
Registration comes next. A New Jersey car under 3,500 pounds that is older than two years pays $46.50, the same car within two years of its model year pays $59.00, and a car over 3,500 pounds pays $71.50 or $84.00 (New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, 2026). So a used Honda saves $12.50 a registration over a new one of the same weight, and a heavier Pilot or Passport pays more than a Civic.
Insurance is the biggest ongoing line. Insurify puts full coverage in New Jersey at $256 per month, or $3,073 per year, against $182 per month, or $2,178 per year, for state-minimum coverage (Insurify, 2026). That is $895 a year between the two, for drivers with a clean record and a credit score of 600 or higher. Ask for a quote on the exact model before you sign, because a Civic and a Pilot will not price the same.
Boardwalk Honda lists a $799 doc fee and runs service lanes that need no appointment
