Acura TSX

The Acura TSX, first launched for 2004, was Acura's entry-level sport sedan based on the European and Japanese Honda Accord. It was a spiritual successor to the Integra sedan, offering a high-revving 4-cylinder K-series engine, a slick-shifting 6-speed manual option, and a sophisticated double-wishbone suspension. The first generation (CL9) is celebrated for its sharp handling and direct feel, while the second generation (CU2) grew in size and offered an optional 3.5L V6.

Collectors are drawn to the TSX's blend of reliability, premium features, and genuine driver engagement, a combination that's rare in modern sedans. First-generation cars with the 6-speed manual are the most sought-after, representing a high point for Honda's naturally aspirated engineering. The K24A2 engine is durable and has huge aftermarket support, making it a favorite for tuners and enthusiasts who appreciate its 7,100 rpm redline.

The market for the TSX is very active and affordable, with an average sale price under $8,000. It's a great entry point into modern collectibles. While high-mileage automatics trade for just a few thousand dollars, demand for clean, low-mileage manual examples is growing. These pristine cars are pushing the top of the market toward $20,000 and are poised for future appreciation.

Prices range from $400 for project cars to $19,750 for exceptional, low-mileage examples.
