The Ford Fusion average ($141) runs 37% above its median ($103), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.

Our guide covers 8 model years for the Subaru Impreza (2018–2025) but only 6 for the Ford Fusion (2015–2020), so the Subaru Impreza data reflects a broader range of generations.

The Ford Fusion car radio is interchangeable across 13 model years versus just 9 for the Subaru Impreza — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.

At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Ford Fusion is 48% cheaper ($109 vs $210) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.

Buyer's checklist

What to check before buying a used car radio

  • Verify anti-theft security unlock code availability or whether the unit is anti-theft VIN-locked to the donor vehicle requiring dealer authorization.
  • Match option codes for factory amplified audio systems (e.g., Bose, JBL, Harman Kardon), touchscreens, navigation modules, and steering wheel control interfaces.
  • Inspect the rear connector block for bent pins, cut harness pigtails, or damaged antenna and satellite tuner connections.
  • Ask for confirmation that the touchscreen digitizer, Bluetooth connectivity, and internal disc drive function without freeze-ups or dead zones.
