Acura NSX Depreciation & Resale Value

Acura NSX keeps an estimated 87% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #3 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Acura NSX retains an estimated 87% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #3 of 530 cars we track. That is 24 points above the 63% five-year average for Sports in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

The loss does not land all at once here: the Acura NSX sheds about 3% in year one and keeps going at much the same rate. From roughly $169,500 it falls to around $147,804 by year five — a five-year loss near $21,696, about $11.89 a day in depreciation.

There is no single sweet spot on the Acura NSX: it gives up a similar share of its value every year rather than falling off a cliff, so how long you keep it matters more than what age you buy it at. Explore the full year-by-year curve, trims, and true cost of ownership in the Model Lab above.
