Supply also plays a role: Nissan Pathfinder has 800 priced listings versus 318 for Tesla Model 3, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
The Nissan Pathfinder average ($126) runs 66% above its median ($76), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
The Tesla Model 3 blower motor is interchangeable across 19 model years versus just 13 for the Nissan Pathfinder — 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 blower motor
- Distinguish between automatic climate control motors (often equipped with integrated control modules) and standard manual HVAC blower motors.
- Spin the squirrel cage fan by hand to check for worn bearings, ticking noises, or off-center wobble that causes excessive noise and premature failure.
- Check the condition of the electrical pigtail and terminal pins for heat discoloration, melting, or corrosion caused by high amperage draw.
- Verify mounting hole orientation and cage depth, as trim levels or different HVAC box suppliers within the same model line can use non-interchangeable designs.
