Market analysis
How much does a used Buick Regal AC compressor cost?
Asking prices for a used Buick Regal AC compressor are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 9 times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 90% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $133.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 2.0L, lists at a $111 median, while 3.6L commands $123, a 11% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $103, while 2017 tops the table at $162. Parts from 2013–2017 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 5 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Buick Regal sits 18% below the Ford F150 ($150), 38% below the Mercedes E Class ($198), and 51% below the Mercedes GLE Class ($250) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used AC compressor: what to check
- Ask whether the compressor was removed with the system still sealed. Open systems ingest moisture.
- Confirm the clutch engages freely and the pulley spins without grinding.
- Match the refrigerant type (R-134a vs R-1234yf). They don't interchange.
- Budget for a new receiver-drier and system flush at installation.
