Where the Acura TLX engine is listed

Market analysis
How much does a used Acura TLX engine cost?
Asking prices for a used Acura TLX 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 240% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $1,750.
Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $900, while 2021 tops the table at $3,305. Parts from 2015–2018 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 4 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Acura TLX sits 31% below the Hyundai Elantra ($2,475), 115% above the Honda Civic ($792), and 20% 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.
