Acura auction value
Honda's luxury brand; TLs, MDXs, and TSXs hold reasonable auction value due to Honda-engineering reputation.
Your federal tax deduction equals the actual auction sale price reported on IRS Form 1098-C — not the Kelley Blue Book retail estimate. Most Acuras in our pipeline sell within 30-60 days of pickup.

What to know about donating a Acura in Houston, Texas
Acura at auction — the value picture
Acura's MDX and TLX models retain mid-market value well; older RDX and TSX sedans hit auction floors around the salvage-retail boundary. Higher-trim Acuras with clean Carfax history often command bids at the higher end of retail auction; non-running units typically clear at $400-$1,200 range. Buyers in this segment are typically wholesale dealers, mid-tier retail buyers. Acura transmission costs are significant — if your Acura has transmission issues, it likely sells at salvage rather than retail auction.
Houston pickup logistics
Houston metro pickup 1-2 business days outside hurricane season. Manheim Houston and Copart Houston are major regional auction hubs. Service area covers Downtown, Galleria, Heights, Memorial, Energy Corridor, plus surrounding Houston metro neighborhoods.
Texas title + tax specifics
Title transfers for Texas vehicles go through the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV). Duplicate-title fees: $2 standard, $5.45 expedited — online filing is available. Form VTR-130-SOF available; bonded title widely used in Texas. Texas has no state income tax — federal deduction only.
This page combines our internal pickup-network data with public state DMV information. Verify state-specific figures with your state DMV before filing on your own — or skip the DMV entirely and let us handle the title work.
