Where the Acura TLX starter is listed
We found priced Acura TLX starter listings at 130 salvage yards across 25 states. Texas supplies the most, with 169 listings (29% of the total) from 30 yards. Location matters: yards in Illinois ask a median $69, while Florida yards ask $253, 267% 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 TLX starter cost?
Asking prices for a used Acura TLX starter 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 27% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $95.
Model year matters too: 2018 units carry the lowest median at $65, while 2016 tops the table at $161. Parts from 2015–2025 are interchangeable, so if the 2018 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 9 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Acura TLX sits 29% below the Ford F150 ($120), 32% below the Mercedes S Class ($125), and level with the Dodge Challenger ($85) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used starter: what to check
- Ask if the unit was bench-tested. Starters are cheap to test and yards that do will say so.
- Match the flywheel tooth count and mounting bolt pattern to your engine code.
- Check the solenoid connector style; mid-year changes are common.
- A remanufactured unit with warranty is sometimes only slightly more than used, so compare both.
