Acura TLX Depreciation & Resale Value

Acura TLX keeps an estimated 61% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #207 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Acura TLX retains an estimated 61% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #207 of 530 cars we track. That is 7 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 TLX sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $45,400 it falls to around $27,557 by year five — a five-year loss near $17,843, about $9.78 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Acura TLX bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
