Market analysis
Why does the Jeep Wrangler radiator cost more?
A used Jeep Wrangler radiator carries a median asking price of $170, which is 72% higher than the Acura ILX at $99. Supply also plays a role: Jeep Wrangler has 4,162 priced listings versus 355 for Acura ILX, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
The Acura ILX average ($121) runs 22% above its median ($99), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
Our guide covers 11 model years for the Jeep Wrangler (2015–2025) but only 8 for the Acura ILX (2015–2022), so the Jeep Wrangler data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Jeep Wrangler radiator is interchangeable across 19 model years versus just 11 for the Acura ILX — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Acura ILX is 41% cheaper ($100 vs $170) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.
The Jeep Wrangler has 10 known trim variants compared to 3 for the Acura ILX, which means buyers need to be more careful about matching the exact engine or drivetrain configuration on the Jeep Wrangler.
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.
