Our guide covers 9 model years for the Jeep Wrangler (2017–2025) but only 2 for the Tesla Model 3 (2022–2023), so the Jeep Wrangler data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Jeep Wrangler radiator is interchangeable across 19 model years versus just 7 for the Tesla Model 3 — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade B (good) condition, the Jeep Wrangler is 23% cheaper ($174 vs $225) — the gap narrows compared to the overall median difference.
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.
