Acura
Acura is Honda's performance-oriented luxury brand, known for its engineering and reliability. Market values are driven by halo cars like the revolutionary mid-engine NSX and the iconic Integra Type R, which have become highly sought-after collector items.
Acura sold for a median of $34,855 over the last 12 months, based on 348 auction sales; the middle 50% sold between $10,000 and $110,000. 19,219 currently for sale.
Acura launched in 1986, becoming the first Japanese luxury automaker to enter the North American market. It established a reputation for precision engineering and reliability with early hits like the Legend sedan and the sporty Integra. These cars offered a compelling alternative to their European counterparts, combining performance with Honda's proven dependability.
Collector interest centers on Acura's most ambitious models from the 1990s and early 2000s. The original NSX, developed with input from Ayrton Senna, brought supercar performance and exotic looks without the typical maintenance headaches. Just as significant, the Integra Type R set a new standard for front-wheel drive performance with its high-revving B18C5 engine and lightweight, track-focused chassis.
The Acura market is diverse, reflecting a wide range of models and conditions. While well-kept Integras and Legends remain affordable classics, pristine, low-mileage examples of the Integra Type R and first-gen NSX now command six-figure prices. At the top end, modern collectibles like the second-generation NSX, especially the limited-run Type S, push values toward the half-million dollar mark.
Buying Tips
- For NSX models, inspect the aluminum body panels carefully for any signs of damage or improper repair, as specialized expertise is required for bodywork.
- Verify the authenticity of any Integra Type R. Check that the VIN on the chassis, engine, and transmission match, as many fakes and converted base models exist.
- On VTEC-equipped cars, ensure the system engages properly with a noticeable change in engine tone at higher RPMs. A lack of engagement can point to oil pressure or solenoid issues.
- Check for a complete service history, especially for the timing belt and water pump on V6 models like the NSX and Legend. This is a critical and expensive service item.
- Look for unmolested, original examples. Many Acuras were heavily modified, and finding one that hasn't been altered is difficult and adds significant value.
Prices range from a few hundred dollars for project cars to over $450,000 for pinnacle models like a new-generation NSX Type S.
