Market analysis
How much does a used Acura MDX engine cost?
Expect to pay $275–$8,587 for a used Acura MDX engine; the median listing asks $1,920. That figure comes from 317 priced salvage-yard listings tracked by our index. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 122% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $2,050.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 3.5L (VIN 9 or VIN 1, 6th digit), lists at a $2,300 median, while 3.0L (VIN 8, 6th digit, AWD) commands $6,789, a 195% 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 $500, while 2024 tops the table at $2,505. Parts from 2014–2015 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 2 compatible years.

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.
