Model year matters too: 2017 units carry the lowest median at $80, while 2019 tops the table at $108. Parts from 2015–2017 are interchangeable, so if the 2017 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 3 compatible years.

Buying a used ac compressor: what to check
- Ask for the donor vehicle's mileage. Lower-mileage parts carry more remaining life and resale value.
- Confirm the warranty. Many salvage yards offer 30–90 day guarantees; some sell extended coverage.
- Verify fitment against your VIN or the part number on your old unit, not just year and model.
- Ask whether shipping and any core charge are included in the quoted price.
