Why Acura ILXs Are Worth More at Salvage
The Acura ILX was Acura’s entry-level luxury sedan, built on Honda Civic architecture but with premium components throughout. While production ended in 2022, ILX parts are in strong demand because owners want OEM Acura quality when repairs are needed.
The ILX shares its powertrains with multiple Honda/Acura models: the 2.0L R20A engine (shared with Civic Si) and the 2.4L i-VTEC engine (found across the Honda lineup). This cross-platform compatibility means every ILX that comes through our gate has parts that fit multiple vehicles, maximizing demand.
Acura’s premium positioning means ILX parts command higher prices than equivalent Honda pieces. The same engine, transmission, or body panel from an ILX typically sells for 20-40% more than the Honda equivalent because of the Acura badge and slightly higher build quality.

Your ILX’s value depends on year, condition, mileage, and which parts are intact. Here are typical ranges:

*Manual transmission and package premiums stack on top of base generation pricing. Actual offers depend on specific condition, mileage, and current market. Call for your exact quote.
Acura ILX Curb Weight & Scrap Specs
Scrap value starts with weight. The ILX’s premium construction means more aluminum components and higher-grade steel compared to its Honda Civic platform mate. Here are the curb weights by generation:
| Generation | Years | Curb Weight | Engine Options | Approx. Scrap Metal Value* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2nd Gen | 2019–2022 | 3,094–3,198 lbs | 2.4L i-VTEC | $280–$350 |
| 1st Gen Facelift | 2016–2018 | 3,094–3,198 lbs | 2.4L i-VTEC | $280–$350 |
| 1st Gen Original | 2013–2015 | 2,970–3,160 lbs | 2.0L R20A3, 1.5L Hybrid | $260–$340 |
*Scrap metal value based on current mixed auto body scrap rates (~$150–$220/ton, March 2026). Actual scrap-only value varies by region and market. Our offers include parts value, which is significantly higher than scrap metal alone.
The ILX features more aluminum in the suspension components and engine block compared to the Civic platform. This premium construction means higher scrap value per pound, especially for the engine and transmission assemblies.
Common Acura ILX Problems We See (And Still Buy)
CVT Transmission Issues
The continuously variable transmission in most ILXs can develop juddering, hesitation, or complete failure between 80K–120K miles. When CVT replacement costs $4,000+, that’s when owners call us. The engine and body are still valuable.
Infotainment System Freezing
The touchscreen infotainment in 2016+ ILXs can freeze, reboot randomly, or lose functionality. While frustrating for daily use, this doesn’t affect the value of the mechanical components we want.
Premature Brake Wear
ILX owners report unusually fast brake pad and rotor wear, especially on the front axle. When brake jobs become too frequent and expensive, many choose to sell rather than continue the cycle.
A/C Compressor Failure
Air conditioning compressors in ILXs can fail prematurely, especially in hot climates. The $1,500–$2,000 repair cost often exceeds what owners want to spend on an aging luxury sedan.
Hybrid Battery Degradation
The 2013–2015 hybrid ILXs can suffer battery pack degradation, leading to poor fuel economy and warning lights. Hybrid battery replacement costs make these uneconomical to repair, but we still buy them.
Collision Damage
Being a luxury sedan, many ILXs are totaled in accidents due to expensive body panels and safety systems. Insurance companies often total these vehicles rather than repair them, creating salvage inventory for us.

Acura ILX Selling FAQ
How much is my Acura ILX worth for scrap?
It depends on the generation and condition. A non-running 2013 ILX might bring $800–$2,000, while a running 2020 could pay $4,500–$9,000+. Newer generations consistently pay more due to higher parts demand and lower salvage supply. Call (603) 392-7313 for a quote specific to your ILX — it takes under 2 minutes.
Do manual transmission ILXs pay more than CVT?
Yes, significantly. The 6-speed manual transmission (only available 2013–2015) is highly sought after by Honda/Acura enthusiasts for swaps and repairs. Manual ILXs typically pay $400–$1,200 more than equivalent CVT models, depending on condition.
My ILX has CVT problems. Is it still worth selling?
Absolutely. CVT failure doesn’t affect the value of the engine, suspension, body panels, interior, wheels, or scrap metal. We buy ILXs with bad transmissions regularly — the 2.4L engine alone can be worth $1,000–$2,500.
Do you buy ILX hybrids?
Yes. The 2013–2015 ILX hybrid (1.5L + electric motor) has additional value from the hybrid battery pack, electric motor, and power electronics. Even if the hybrid system is dead, the rest of the car still has full parts and scrap value.
What year ILXs are most valuable for salvage?
The 2019–2022 ILXs pay the most due to low salvage supply and high parts demand from newer vehicle owners. However, manual transmission 2013–2015 models also command premium pricing due to enthusiast demand.
Can I sell my ILX without a title?
In many cases, yes. If you have a valid registration, proof of ownership, or can get a duplicate title from the NH DMV, we can usually complete the purchase. Call us and we’ll walk you through the options for your specific situation.
More Questions About Selling Your ILX
How much do junkyards pay for a 2016 Acura ILX?
A 2016 Acura ILX (facelift generation) typically pays $1,800–$3,000 if non-running, $3,200–$6,000 if running with high miles, and up to $8,500 in good condition. Technology Package and A-Spec models pay 10-20% more. At 603 Auto Salvage, we consistently offer top market rates for ILX because luxury parts command premium pricing. Call (603) 392-7313 for your exact quote.
Is it better to sell my ILX to a junkyard or trade it in?
If your ILX has significant problems (transmission issues, collision damage, high mileage), a salvage yard will almost always pay more than trade-in value. Dealers deduct heavily for needed repairs, while we buy based on parts value. For a running, repairable ILX, compare both options — but for problem vehicles, salvage is usually better.
What Acura ILX parts are worth the most?
The most valuable ILX parts are: 1) Engine (2.4L worth $1,000–$2,500, 2.0L worth $600–$1,500), 2) 6-speed manual transmission ($800–$1,500), 3) CVT transmission ($400–$1,000), 4) Navigation/infotainment display ($200–$500), 5) LED headlights ($150–$400), and 6) A-Spec body panels ($100–$300 each). Luxury components hold value better than mass-market equivalents.
Do you buy ILXs with Technology Package?
Yes, and Technology Package ILXs are worth more. The premium audio system, navigation, blind spot monitoring, and other electronic components are expensive to replace new, making used versions valuable. Tech Package adds $200–$700 to your payout depending on the year and condition.
How quickly can you pick up my Acura ILX?
Usually same day or next business day. We operate our own fleet of tow trucks covering all of New Hampshire, northeastern Massachusetts, and southern Maine. No third-party carriers, no delays. Call before noon and there’s a good chance we’re at your door by end of day.
Acura ILX Catalytic Converter Scrap Price (2026)
ILX catalytic converters contain the same precious metals as other Honda/Acura vehicles: platinum, palladium, and rhodium. However, they’re less targeted by thieves than trucks and SUVs due to lower ground clearance.
| ILX Generation | Engine | Cat Type | Estimated Cat Value* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019–2022 (2nd Gen) | 2.4L i-VTEC | Direct-fit, close-coupled | $200–$450 |
| 2016–2018 (Facelift) | 2.4L i-VTEC | Direct-fit, close-coupled | $180–$400 |
| 2013–2015 (Original) | 2.0L R20A3 | Single underfloor | $120–$300 |
| 2013–2015 (Hybrid) | 1.5L + Electric | Single underfloor | $100–$280 |
*Catalytic converter values based on current precious metal markets (March 2026). 2.4L cats are worth more due to larger displacement and higher metal content. These values are factored into your total cash offer — you don’t need to remove the cat yourself.
Important: We buy the entire vehicle, not just the catalytic converter. Selling the whole ILX is almost always worth more than parting out the cat alone, because the engine, transmission, body panels, and luxury components add significant additional value.
