Used 2023 Acura TLX for Sale nearConroe, TX

How much does the 2023 Acura TLX cost?

Prices have softened 2.09% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 569 listings available, which suggests you have a workable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Acura TLX a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Acura TLX earns a 4.5/5 user rating and a 6.5/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Performance, and Safety.

The data points to a luxury sports sedan that blends style, driving enjoyment, and comfort. It is described as a car with strong road presence and genuine performance capability, while still being comfortable enough to widen its appeal beyond pure enthusiasts.

The trade-offs are just as clear: poor ergonomic design, a cramped back seat, and limited cargo space. If you want a distinctive sedan that prioritizes personality and driving feel over everyday practicality, that balance may work in your favor.

Only 31.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market still rewards careful comparison shopping.

Is the 2023 Acura TLX reliable?

Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The TLX is presented as a well-built luxury sedan with a strong emphasis on driving enjoyment and comfort, and the expert notes also point to a solid overall ownership experience. The performance write-up says the car is fun to drive and that the drivetrain and braking behavior are generally composed in everyday use.

The cost-effectiveness notes add that Acura includes two years or 24,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance, which helps reduce early ownership costs. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the car’s sporty packaging comes with some practical compromises, so condition and maintenance history matter more than headline appeal alone.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Acura TLX?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 79.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the vehicle history report carefully and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you are considering a sportier or higher-mileage example. Focus on cabin condition, wheel and tire wear, and signs that the car has been used in tight urban parking or on rough roads, since the TLX’s design and low nose can make damage easier to overlook.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base car emphasizes style and comfort, but the more expensive versions add equipment that improves convenience and daily livability. The base model’s biggest gaps are in practicality and convenience, while the higher trims better suit you if you want a more complete luxury experience.
• Powertrain: Most versions use a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 272 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic. The Type S upgrades to a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with 355 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque, plus more performance hardware.
• Safety package: AcuraWatch is standard and includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, automatic high beams, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control with low-speed following, and Traffic Jam Assist. Non-base models also add blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear parking sensors.
• Infotainment: The cabin uses a 10.2-inch display with the True Touchpad Interface rather than a touchscreen. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a three-year AcuraLink subscription are standard, but wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not supported.
• Fuel efficiency: The standard powertrain should return between 24 mpg and 25 mpg in combined driving, while the Type S is estimated at 21 mpg combined and averaged 20 mpg on the evaluation drive.

Which 2023 Acura TLX trim should I buy?

The 2023 Acura TLX is offered in 4 trim levels: base TLX, Technology Package, A-Spec Package, and Advance Package.

Here's the short version:

• base TLX: This is the entry point if you want the TLX’s styling, standard AcuraWatch safety suite, and turbocharged four-cylinder power at the lowest price. It makes the most sense if you care more about getting into the model than about extra convenience features.
• Technology Package: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds meaningful equipment without pushing you into the pricier upper end of the lineup. It is the trim to target if you want a more complete luxury feel while staying relatively sensible on price.
• A-Spec Package: Choose this if you want a more expressive look and the option of either FWD or SH-AWD. It suits you best if style matters and you want a step up in presence without going all the way to the top trim.
• Advance Package: This is the comfort-leaning choice, and it is the one to consider if you want the most upscale everyday experience. It also comes standard with SH-AWD, which adds capability and helps round out the TLX’s premium character.

Choose any TLX except the base model if you want blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear parking sensors.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Acura TLX?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you stay patient.

• Deal availability: 31.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 569 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.09% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 79.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $33,258, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Acura TLX's resale value?

The current average of $35,118 sits slightly below last year's $35,866.

That softer pricing suggests the TLX has become a little easier to buy than it was a year ago, which can help you if you are shopping now. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim desirability rather than on broad market momentum alone.

Because the model still has a defined enthusiast appeal and a premium badge, well-kept examples should remain easier to move than more ordinary sedans. The strongest resale prospects will likely belong to cars with clean history reports, desirable equipment, and strong cosmetic condition.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Acura TLX safe?

The 2023 TLX earns a Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS and a five-star overall crash-test rating from NHTSA, including five-star rollover resistance and four-star ratings for the front passenger in frontal-impact testing.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

AcuraWatch is standard, and it bundles forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, automatic high beams, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control with low-speed following, and Traffic Jam Assist. Non-base trims also add blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear parking sensors.

The main caveat is that the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ result is tied to the 2022 calendar year in the review, so you should confirm current status before buying. The expert notes also mention occasional false lane-departure warnings and lane-keeping interventions, plus slower adaptive-cruise acceleration back to speed.

Should I buy a 2023 Acura TLX or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 31.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 79.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.09% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 combines stylish design, fun-to-drive character, and comfort in a distinctive luxury sports sedan.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $32,798, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $35,118 average.
• It offers the same design renaissance and strong performance with a lower entry price.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $36,897, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $35,118 average.
• It adds a new grille and bigger screens while keeping the same chassis and powertrains.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, style, and performance, the 2023 is the sweet spot to target. If your priority is saving money, the 2022 is the smarter value play, while the 2024 makes sense only if you specifically want the updated look and screens.
