Repairable, Salvage and Damaged Honda Cr-z for Sale
Showing results 1 - 20 of 20
20 Honda CR-Z hybrid coupes for sale across 19+ Copart locations — model years 2011–2016, avg. mileage 104,000 mi. 5% clean title, 95% salvage; Front End is the top damage (85%). Bids start at $225, and pricing here rides on the hybrid battery's health more than the body — a car with a strong pack is worth real money, one without it is mostly a shell.
The CR-Z was a short-run experiment for Honda — a sporty two-seat hybrid coupe sold from 2011 to 2016, and one of the few hybrids ever offered with a manual transmission. It barely trades at auction; too few sell here in any given stretch to support a meaningful median, so this page is closer to a specialty listing than a volume model. What decides value isn't the damage code, it's whether the hybrid system still works. Most that do trade stay in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.
The CR-Z pairs a small 1.5-liter engine with Honda's IMA mild-hybrid system and a nickel-metal-hydride battery pack mounted behind the seats — the same basic hybrid layout Honda used on the Insight and Civic Hybrid of that era. That pack degrades with age no matter how clean the body is, so a car that's been sitting or shows a hybrid warning light needs a battery check before any other number gets discussed; a healthy pack is most of the car's value, a dead one turns it into a manual-transmission parts car. On the body side it's a small unibody hatchback-coupe with tiny rear jump seats that aren't really usable for adults, so don't price it like a real back seat. Front and rear crash structure is shallow given the short overhangs, so even a moderate hit can reach the battery enclosure — worth extra scrutiny on any front or rear-damage lot. When the shell's not worth saving, cross-check a rough lot against a clean-title CR-Z to judge whether the body damage alone is worth the risk.
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 CR-Zs in?
About 20 lots, 95% on a salvage title and the rest clean or rebuilt. Front End leads at 85%, and mileage averages 104,000 — but with so few lots at any time, treat these numbers as a snapshot, not a trend.
Is a salvage CR-Z worth buying?
Only if the hybrid battery and IMA system check out; that's most of the car's value, not the sheet metal. There's too little sold data to quote a typical price, so budget a battery inspection before you set a bid, and price the manual gearbox and shell separately if the pack is dead.
What should I check before bidding?
The hybrid warning light and battery health first, since the nickel-metal-hydride pack degrades with age regardless of body condition. Then the front and rear crash structure, which is shallow on this car and can reach the battery enclosure on a moderate hit. Cross-check the title brand against the damage photos; they don't always agree.
Can I insure and register a salvage CR-Z?
Only after it's rebuilt and passes a state inspection — then most insurers will cover it, just not the company that paid the claim. While it's salvage-titled it can't go on the road. Check with your insurer before you bid.
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 CR-Z'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 ask about hybrid battery service history if it's listed.
What are good alternatives to the CR-Z?
There's nothing else quite like a manual hybrid coupe on the market, but the Toyota Prius covers hybrid efficiency, and Honda's own Civic coupe gives you the sporty two-door without the battery question.
