What the numbers say

A 2017 Acura ILX still asks 90% of what a 2022 one does — that's how much value it holds after 5 years. Among 70 sedans we price, that ranks #1, above the 54% class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 6 (−21.8%), after which losses ease to about 14.6% a year. Mileage costs it 34%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles. Calculated from 99 listings.
