Market analysis
How much does a used Acura ILX AC compressor cost?
Asking prices for a used Acura ILX AC compressor are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 7 times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 1.5L (Hybrid), lists at a $100 median, while 2.4L commands $125, a 25% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $120, while 2020 tops the table at $150. Parts from 2012–2015 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 4 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Acura ILX sits 17% below the Ford F150 ($150), 37% below the Mercedes E Class ($198), and 50% below the Mercedes GLE Class ($250) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used AC compressor: what to check
- Ask whether the compressor was removed with the system still sealed. Open systems ingest moisture.
- Confirm the clutch engages freely and the pulley spins without grinding.
- Match the refrigerant type (R-134a vs R-1234yf). They don't interchange.
- Budget for a new receiver-drier and system flush at installation.
