The short answer: there was never a 1999 Honda Passport. The Passport name used on a Honda-backed SUV in the 1990s covers model years 1994–1998, built on the Isuzu Rodeo platform. If you’re looking at prices, they apply to those 1994–1998 models. A revived Honda Passport has existed since 2019, but that is a different vehicle altogether.
Was there a 1999 Honda Passport?
In the 1990s, Honda offered the Passport only from the 1994 through the 1998 model years. There was no official 1999 Passport model. The nameplate was retired after 1998 and later reintroduced in 2019 as a distinct, modern SUV based on Honda’s Pilot platform. For collectors or buyers encountering a “1999 Passport,” the VIN and documentation should be checked carefully to confirm whether it is an actual 1994–1998 Passport badge or a misidentified/converted vehicle.
Historical context
The original Passport was essentially an Isuzu Rodeo with Honda badging, designed for North American buyers seeking a mid-size SUV with 4x4 capability. Production ended before the 1999 model year, which is why there is no official 1999 Passport in historical listings. The modern Passport, introduced in 2019, shares little in common with the 1994–1998 generation beyond the name.
Current value for the 1994–1998 Honda Passport
Because there was no 1999 Passport, the price guidance below applies to the actual Passport generations from 1994–1998. Prices vary widely based on condition, mileage, maintenance history and market demand.
- Poor or fixer-uppers: roughly $1,500–$3,000
- Fair condition (some mechanical needs or cosmetic wear): roughly $3,000–$5,500
- Good condition (well maintained, typical mileage): roughly $5,500–$7,500
- Excellent or low mileage (under ~100,000 miles, pristine overall): roughly $7,500–$9,000
Prices reflect typical private-party listings and regional differences. They are meant as a general guide rather than a precise quote, and actual selling prices can be outside these ranges based on the vehicle’s specific history and the local market.
How to determine value for your Passport
To fine-tune the value of a 1994–1998 Honda Passport, consider these factors:
- Mileage and drivetrain condition (4x4 vs 2WD)
- Overall mechanical health and need for major repairs
- Exterior and interior condition, including rust and wear
- Maintenance history and availability of records
- Original equipment and any modifications or upgrades
- Location and local demand for older SUVs
Owners should gather service history, have a trusted mechanic inspect the vehicle, and compare multiple local listings to gauge a fair price.
Where to check current pricing
For up-to-date valuations, consult several reputable sources and compare apples to apples (same model year range, similar mileage, and condition):
- Kelley Blue Book (KBB) used-vehicle values
- NADA Guides used-car values
- Edmunds used-vehicle pricing
- Local dealer listings and regional classifieds to see real-world asking prices
Cross-checking multiple sources helps account for regional variation and market quirks. If you’re selling, consider a pre-sale appraisal to establish a solid asking price.
Related note: the modern Passport (2019–present)
For context, Honda reintroduced the Passport as a modern, two-row SUV in 2019. Those vehicles, while sharing the Passport name, are unrelated to the 1994–1998 generation and command substantially different pricing—typically in the tens of thousands of dollars used, depending on trim, mileage, and condition.
Summary
Bottom line: there is no 1999 Honda Passport. The original Passport (1994–1998) generally trades in the low thousands to under $10,000, heavily influenced by mileage and condition. If you encounter a listing for a 1999 Passport, verify whether it is misrepresented or a modern Honda Passport with the name used regions specific today. For accurate, up-to-date pricing, consult KBB, NADA, Edmunds, and local listings, and compare multiple sources to establish a fair market value.
