The Honda Pilot average ($203) runs 19% above its median ($170), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
Our guide covers 10 model years for the Ram 1500 (2015–2025) but only 8 for the Honda Pilot (2018–2025), so the Ram 1500 data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Ram 1500 ac condenser is interchangeable across 14 model years versus just 10 for the Honda Pilot — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Ram 1500 is 26% cheaper ($150 vs $204) — the gap narrows compared to the overall median difference.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used condenser
- Check for bent or crushed fins — significant fin damage reduces heat dissipation and A/C performance.
- Look for pinhole leaks by inspecting the tube surfaces for green dye residue (from prior leak detection).
- Confirm the inlet/outlet line fittings match your vehicle — condenser plumbing varies across model years.
- Inspect the mounting brackets and rubber isolators. Missing isolators cause rattling and premature wear.
