Market analysis

Why does the Honda Accord air bag cost more?

A used Honda Accord air bag carries a median asking price of $171, which is 4% higher than the Subaru Impreza at $165. Supply also plays a role: Honda Accord has 1,865 priced listings versus 1,439 for Subaru Impreza, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.

Grade A (excellent condition) parts make up 77% of Subaru Impreza listings compared to 57% for the Honda Accord, so buyers looking for top-condition units will find more options on the Subaru Impreza side.

The Honda Accord average ($241) runs 41% above its median ($171), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.

Our guide covers 5 model years for the Subaru Impreza (2015–2024) but only 3 for the Honda Accord (2018–2022), so the Subaru Impreza data reflects a broader range of generations.

The Subaru Impreza air bag is interchangeable across 12 model years versus just 5 for the Honda Accord — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.

At Grade B (good) condition, the Honda Accord is 21% cheaper ($151 vs $190) — the gap narrows compared to the overall median difference.

Buyer's checklist

What to check before buying a used air bag

  • Verify that the module has never been deployed, repacked, or listed under active safety recalls by cross-referencing the OEM part number and donor vehicle VIN.
  • Match interior trim color codes, steering wheel or dash mounting points, and single-stage vs. dual-stage inflator designs across vehicle trim levels.
  • Inspect the module backing, clock spring connector housing, and mounting tabs for heat damage, hairline cracks, or tampered wiring harness splices.
  • Ensure shipping complies with hazardous material regulations and verify that local laws permit installing salvaged supplemental restraint system (SRS) components.
