Grade A (excellent condition) parts make up 72% of Kia Sportage listings compared to 49% for the GMC Sierra 1500, so buyers looking for top-condition units will find more options on the Kia Sportage side.
The Kia Sportage average ($240) runs 16% above its median ($207), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
The Kia Sportage radiator is interchangeable across 16 model years versus just 10 for the GMC Sierra 1500 — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
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.
