This 20-year-old Honda Civic just sold for a whopping $50,000 at auction — here's what makes it so rare and valuable

  • A 2000 Honda Civic Si just sold for $50,000 on the popular car auction site, Bring a Trailer.
  • When new in 2000, it cost $17,985. Adjusted for inflation, that's $26,778 in 2020 money.
  • This blue Civic Si had only 5,644 miles on its odometer after two owners.

A Honda Civic Si from the year 2000 — you know, the year Brad Pitt married Jennifer, when Napster was still a thing, and Nsync's "No Strings Attached" was the hottest album — just sold for $50,000. Yes, you read that right.

Looking at the picture, this is a Honda Civic we are all familiar with; either you've owned one, someone you knew owned one, or you've seen approximately hundreds of them over the course of just being out in public. Inoffensive styling and an affordable sticker price means that Civics of all generations are popular, but you do see a good amount of these early 2000s examples still tooling around.

This Civic, listed on popular car auction website Bring a Trailer, sold on June 5 for $50,000. It's in the Si trim — meaning that it's a little sportier than the normal Civics. In the year 2000, it would have cost $17,985, according to the listing. Adjusted for inflation, that comes to $26,778 in today's money. So, to review, a car that was new in 2000 just sold for nearly double that 20 years later.

The car is immaculate. Keep scrolling to see it.
