A used Jeep Wrangler radiator carries a median asking price of $173, which is 15% higher than the Chevy Trax at $150. Supply also plays a role: Jeep Wrangler has 4,191 priced listings versus 897 for Chevy Trax, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
The Jeep Wrangler radiator is interchangeable across 19 model years versus just 12 for the Chevy Trax — 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.
