Market analysis

Why does the Ford Explorer radiator cost more?

A used Ford Explorer radiator carries a median asking price of $162, which is 62% higher than the Nissan Versa at $100. Supply also plays a role: Ford Explorer has 3,575 priced listings versus 218 for Nissan Versa, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.

The Nissan Versa average ($139) runs 39% above its median ($100), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.

Our guide covers 9 model years for the Ford Explorer (2015–2025) but only 2 for the Nissan Versa (2019–2023), so the Ford Explorer data reflects a broader range of generations.

Only 63% of Nissan Versa radiator listings include a posted price (218 of 344 observed) — the rest are "call for price," which usually signals negotiable or higher-than-average pricing.

At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Nissan Versa is 32% cheaper ($103 vs $151) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.

Buyer's checklist

What to check before buying a used radiator

  • Inspect for bent or crushed fins — minor cosmetic bending is OK, but large crushed sections reduce cooling capacity.
  • Check both tanks (top and bottom) for cracks, especially along the crimped seams on plastic-tank radiators.
  • Confirm the inlet/outlet positions and sizes match — some models moved ports between model years.
  • Look for internal blockage: shake the unit and listen for debris, or flush it with a garden hose before installing.
