Market analysis

Why does the Tesla Model S radiator cost more?

A used Tesla Model S radiator carries a median asking price of $215, which is 21% higher than the Jeep Wrangler at $170. Supply also plays a role: Jeep Wrangler has 4,162 priced listings versus 137 for Tesla Model S, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.

Grade A (excellent condition) parts make up 78% of Jeep Wrangler listings compared to 42% for the Tesla Model S, so buyers looking for top-condition units will find more options on the Jeep Wrangler side.

The Tesla Model S average ($336) runs 56% above its median ($215), 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 7 for the Tesla Model S (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 7 for the Tesla Model S — 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 82% cheaper ($173 vs $949) — the gap widens 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.
