but with Honda owners, there's a lot of one-owner cars that the person was basically a very sensible person who maintained the car like clockwork and has all the maintenance records, etc. that's just as good as a dealer car IMO.

The great thing about Hondas is the owner base has been instructed, for years about routine maintenance. There are many more Hondas out there that have had impeccable scheduled maintenance. The downside is...their perceived reliability is high so...so is the resale.
NOT being a homer here, but I would go for a GM model with a 3.8 just as quickly. I bet Sauto would agree. Damn fine engines.
