Repairable, Salvage and Damaged Honda Clarity for Sale
Showing results 1 - 20 of 20
21 Honda Clarity sedans for sale across 19+ Copart locations — model years 2018–2021, avg. mileage 96,000 mi. 10% clean title, 90% salvage; Front End is the top damage (62%). Bids start at $2,050, and pricing here depends on the powertrain and battery condition far more than the body damage.
The Clarity name covered three very different Hondas — a plug-in hybrid sold nationwide from 2018 to 2021, a fully electric version, and a hydrogen fuel-cell model sold and leased only in California, where hydrogen fueling stations actually exist. It's a low-volume, short-run car across all three, and too few trade here to set any kind of median — price each lot on its own once you know exactly which Clarity it is. What does trade stays in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.
The first thing to confirm on any Clarity lot is which powertrain you're actually looking at, because they don't share a driveline. The plug-in hybrid pairs a 1.5-liter engine with two electric motors and a lithium-ion battery pack under the rear seat and trunk floor — the one you're most likely to see here, and the one where a flood or a hard rear hit means budgeting for a pack replacement you can't price from photos alone. The fuel-cell version runs on hydrogen instead of gasoline or a plug, and since Honda sold it only in California, a lot showing up anywhere else is unusual enough to double-check the VIN and paperwork before you assume it's a normal PHEV. Either way, have someone qualified check the high-voltage system before anyone touches the car — don't just eyeball it, because a punctured or waterlogged pack is a safety issue, not just a repair cost. Body-wise it's a conventional unibody sedan, so front and rear damage get the normal treatment once you've settled the battery question.
Buying is quick: register free — no dealer license — set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
Note: ACV and damage data come from the original auction listing. Always check the condition and title yourself before you bid.
FAQ
What condition are these Claritys in?
About 21 lots, 90% on a salvage title and the rest clean or rebuilt. Front End leads at 62%, and mileage averages 96,000. Nearly every lot is the standard Clarity sedan body — confirm which powertrain it is before you bid.
Is a salvage Clarity worth buying?
Only if the high-voltage battery checks out, since that's most of the car's value regardless of body damage. There's too little sold data here to quote a typical price, so get the pack inspected and price the car around that answer rather than the damage code.
What should I check before bidding?
Which Clarity it actually is first — plug-in hybrid, electric or the California-only fuel-cell version — since the VIN decodes it and they don't share a driveline. Then the high-voltage battery, especially on any lot with rear or underbody damage, water exposure, or a fire indicator in the photos.
Can I insure and register a salvage Clarity?
Only after it's rebuilt and passes a state inspection — then most insurers will cover it, just not the company that totaled it. Get the high-voltage system signed off as safe first, on top of the usual steps. Check with your insurer before you bid, since hybrid and EV coverage varies by carrier.
How does the auction work?
Register free, no dealer license. Set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
How do I check a Clarity's history before bidding?
Every lot shows the VIN, damage type and title brand. Run the VIN through a vehicle-history report for prior accidents and title events, and confirm the exact powertrain and battery type before you commit.
What are good alternatives to the Clarity?
The Toyota Prius covers similar plug-in-hybrid ground, and Honda's own Insight is a simpler, cheaper hybrid sedan if you want to skip the plug entirely.
