What Acura ILX do most buyers choose?

The Acura ILX years with the most listings are 2020, 2021, and 2019.

These higher-volume years tend to draw more shoppers because they offer a broader selection of listings and a strong mix of pricing and deal opportunities. That usually makes it easier to compare trims, mileage, and condition across the market.

What is the Acura ILX's resale value?

Most model years are moving lower year over year, which can create better buying opportunities for used shoppers. A few years are close to flat, and one year is rising, so pricing is not moving in exactly the same direction across the lineup. The 2016 and 2019 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year. The 2017, 2016, and 2019 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Acura ILX now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2021 model is at −3.2% versus a year ago, and the 2020 model is at −1.98%.
• Deal availability: The 2021 model has 31.6% good and great deals, and the 2020 model has 33.5%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2020 model has the most listings at a current average price of $20,309.

If you're buying used today, the 2020 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the newest version, it may be worth waiting for 2023 inventory to mature.
