Where the Acura ILX engine is listed
We found priced Acura ILX engine listings at 227 salvage yards across 28 states. Michigan supplies the most, with 117 listings (20% of the total) from 26 yards. Location matters: yards in Arizona ask a median $358, while Michigan yards ask $790, 121% more for the same part. Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Market analysis
How much does a used Acura ILX engine cost?
Asking prices for a used Acura ILX engine are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 49% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $521.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 1.5L (VIN 3, 6th digit, Hybrid, SOHC, Canada market), electric (Integrated Motor Assist), lists at a $302 median, while 2.4L (VIN 2, 6th digit, gasoline, DOHC) commands $1,300, a 330% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2019 units carry the lowest median at $400, while 2016 tops the table at $700. Parts from 2016–2021 are interchangeable, so if the 2019 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 6 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Acura ILX sits 80% below the Hyundai Elantra ($2,475), 37% below the Honda Civic ($792), and 77% below the Toyota RAV4 ($2,137) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used engine: what to check
- Ask for a compression or leak-down test result. Reputable yards test engines before sale.
- Under 100K miles is the sweet spot for a used engine; insist on documented donor mileage.
- Confirm what's included: manifolds, sensors, and accessories vary by yard and change the real price.
- Match the engine code exactly. The same model year can ship with multiple displacements.
- Budget for new gaskets, seals, and fluids on installation; they're cheap insurance on a used engine.
