Market analysis
Why does the Toyota RAV4 engine cost more?
A used Toyota RAV4 engine carries a median asking price of $2,137, which is 4% higher than the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross at $2,055. Supply also plays a role: Toyota RAV4 has 2,643 priced listings versus 354 for Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
Our guide covers 11 model years for the Toyota RAV4 (2015–2025) but only 8 for the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (2018–2025), so the Toyota RAV4 data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Toyota RAV4 engine is interchangeable across 14 model years versus just 8 for the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade B (good) condition, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is 24% cheaper ($1,813 vs $2,370) — the gap narrows 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.
