What this build asks today
Asking prices of live dealer listings decoded to this exact configuration — narrower than the trim-level figure, because every car counted here shares the same engine, transmission and drivetrain.
$9,870 median asking price · 7 listings · as of Aug 30, 2026
Too few listings to publish a price range — with 7 cars on the market, the cheapest and the dearest are single cars, not a spread. The median above is what they ask in the middle.
How this VIN pattern is read
A 17-character VIN carries two kinds of information: what was built, and which one it is. This page is the first kind — the nine highlighted positions.
| Positions | Characters | What they encode |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | JHM | HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD. · World manufacturer identifier |
| 4–8 | FB4F3 | Model, body style, engine and restraint system |
| 9 | × | Check digit — computed per vehicle, not part of the build |
| 10 | C | Model year — 2012 |
| 11 | × | Assembly plant |
| 12–17 | ×××××× | Production sequence number, unique to each vehicle |
