Used 2023 Acura TLX for Sale nearMemphis, TN

How much does the 2023 Acura TLX cost?

Prices have softened 2.25% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

With 577 listings available, you have a meaningful amount of inventory to compare across trims and conditions.

If you find a listing below $33,287.42, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

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 TLX’s appeal comes through clearly in its stylish design, fun-to-drive character, and comfortable ride. Acura positions it as a luxury sports sedan that balances driving enjoyment with everyday comfort, which makes sense if you want something more distinctive than a typical commuter sedan.

The trade-offs are just as clear: the cabin’s ergonomics are poor, the back seat is cramped, and cargo space is limited. That means you should like the TLX for its personality and driving feel more than for maximum practicality.

Only 28.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the best examples may require quick action.

Is the 2023 Acura TLX reliable?

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

The TLX’s reliability case is helped by its solid overall design and the fact that Acura includes a strong mix of standard equipment and driver aids. The expert review also points to a car that feels well engineered in daily use, even if some controls and interfaces are frustrating.

Its performance hardware is substantial, and the Type S in particular is described as a compelling, well-rounded performance sedan. Acura also includes two years or 24,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance, which can reduce early ownership costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright durability and more about living with a car whose packaging and controls can wear on you over time.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the vehicle history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper records review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on the cabin controls, ride quality, and any signs of curb damage or scraping, since the car’s low nose and tight packaging can make condition matter a lot.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base model is the most stripped-down version, while higher trims add more convenience and luxury equipment. The base and Technology models come only with FWD, while the Advance and Type S models come only with SH-AWD. The A-Spec is the only trim that gives you a choice between FWD and SH-AWD.
• 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 adds a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with 355 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque, plus performance hardware and SH-AWD.
• 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 trims also add blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear parking sensors.
• Infotainment: The system uses a 10.2-inch display with the True Touchpad Interface, and standard features include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a three-year AcuraLink subscription. Wireless smartphone charging, navigation, and upgraded audio are available depending on trim, but wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not supported.
• Fuel efficiency: Most versions should return between 24 mpg and 25 mpg in combined driving. 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, Technology Package, A-Spec Package, Advance Package.

Here's the short version:

• Base: This is the entry point, but it is also the most stripped-down version. It gives you the core TLX experience with the turbo four and FWD, plus AcuraWatch, but it leaves out the extra convenience and luxury equipment found higher up the range.
• Technology Package: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds meaningful equipment without pushing you into the more expensive upper trims. It keeps the TLX’s core strengths while improving the overall ownership experience.
• A-Spec Package: Choose this if you want a more distinctive look and the option of SH-AWD with the standard turbo four. It sits in the middle of the lineup and gives you more flexibility than the lower trims.
• Advance Package: This is the comfort-leaning choice, and it is the trim to consider if you want more upscale equipment and SH-AWD as standard. It suits you best if you care more about refinement and convenience than the lowest possible price.

The safety package is strongest on non-base trims, since they add blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and parking sensors.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find opportunities.

• Inventory: There are 577 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.25% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 84.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $33,287.42, 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 $35,371 sits slightly below last year's $36,186.

That softer pricing suggests the TLX has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price. A model that is already below its prior-year average may have less room to fall sharply than one still priced above trend.

The strongest resale candidates are usually the cleanest, best-equipped examples with desirable trims and strong condition. If you buy well now, you improve your odds of exiting later without taking an outsized hit.

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 a five-star rollover resistance rating. It also earns a four-star rating for the front passenger in a frontal-impact collision.

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

AcuraWatch is standard, and it brings 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 add blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear parking sensors.

One caveat is that the lane-keeping systems can struggle in certain lighting and road-surface conditions, and the Type S does not include the surround-view camera system found on the Advance trim.

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:

• 28.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.25% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It delivers a stylish, comfortable, fun-to-drive luxury sports sedan with a clear identity.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $32,856, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $35,371 average.
• It offers strong road presence and genuine performance capability.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $36,756, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $35,371 average.
• It adds a new grille and bigger screens while keeping the same performance-focused formula.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, style, and driving enjoyment, the 2023 is the sweet spot to target. If your budget is tighter, the 2022 gives you a lower entry price with much of the same appeal. If you want the newer look and updated screens, the 2024 is worth a look, but you’ll pay more for it.
