The Subaru Impreza average ($636) runs 49% above its median ($426), 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 Hyundai Sonata (2015–2025) but only 3 for the Subaru Impreza (2015–2022), so the Hyundai Sonata data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Hyundai Sonata turbocharger is interchangeable across 11 model years versus just 7 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 Subaru Impreza is 20% cheaper ($400 vs $500) — the gap narrows compared to the overall median difference.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used turbo
- Spin the turbine by hand — it should rotate freely with zero play. Any shaft wobble means worn bearings.
- Check the compressor wheel blades for impact marks from debris ingestion.
- Inspect the oil feed and return ports for coking (hardened oil deposits that block lubrication).
- Confirm the turbo model matches your ECU tune — different output turbos may bolt on but throw fault codes.
