Market analysis
Why does the Toyota Highlander engine cost more?
A used Toyota Highlander engine carries a median asking price of $2,675, which is 108% higher than the Honda Odyssey at $1,289. Supply also plays a role: Toyota Highlander has 1,677 priced listings versus 392 for Honda Odyssey, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
The Toyota Highlander engine is interchangeable across 12 model years versus just 8 for the Honda Odyssey — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Honda Odyssey is 38% cheaper ($1,600 vs $2,600) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used engine
- Confirm the VIN-matched engine code — the same model can use different engines across trims and years.
- Ask for the mileage on the donor vehicle. Under 80K miles is ideal; over 120K usually needs a compression test.
- Look for signs of overheating: warped heads, milky oil on the dipstick or filler cap, and coolant residue around the head gaskets.
- Check whether accessories (alternator, A/C compressor, power steering pump) are included or if you need to swap yours over.
