Acura RSX Depreciation & Resale Value

Acura RSX keeps an estimated 55% of its recent market value after 5 years — #291 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Acura RSX retains an estimated 55% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #291 of 530 cars we track. That is 2 points above the 54% five-year average for Luxury in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Acura RSX sheds about 10% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $46,500 it falls to around $25,668 by year five — a five-year loss near $20,832, about $11.41 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Acura RSX bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
