What drives Acura resale value
Models and typical resale ranges
- MDX: Approximately 50–60% of original MSRP after about five years, depending on trim and mileage.
- RDX: Roughly 55–65% of original MSRP after five years, with variations by configuration and usage.
- TLX: Typically around 50–60% of original MSRP after five years, influenced by driver demand and maintenance history.
- ILX: Generally 40–50% of original MSRP after five years, reflecting slower depreciation protection for this smaller luxury sedan.
- NSX: A niche model that can hold value more solidly than typical supercars, often in the 45–60% range after several years depending on condition and mileage.
- Integra (current-generation): Often stronger than average for a sport compact, roughly 60–70% of original MSRP after 3–5 years in high-demand market windows.
Ways to maximize resale value
- Maintain a complete service history and keep up with factory-recommended maintenance to demonstrate care and reliability.
- Keep mileage reasonable for the age of the vehicle; high mileage accelerates depreciation.
- Preserve the interior and exterior condition, including paint protection, dashboards, and seats.
- Hang onto original parts when possible (wheels, tires, audio upgrades) and avoid aftermarket modifications that reduce appeal.
- Address any accidents or damage promptly and obtain repair receipts to document quality of repairs.
- Choose colors and trims that are widely appealing and easy to resell; neutral tones often perform better in the used market.
- Consider Acura Certified Pre-Owned programs to add perceived value with warranty coverage.
