Model year matters too: 2019 units carry the lowest median at $145, while 2018 tops the table at $173. Parts from 2015–2021 are interchangeable, so if the 2019 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 7 compatible years.

Buying a used AC compressor: what to check

  1. Ask whether the compressor was removed with the system still sealed. Open systems ingest moisture.
  2. Confirm the clutch engages freely and the pulley spins without grinding.
  3. Match the refrigerant type (R-134a vs R-1234yf). They don't interchange.
  4. Budget for a new receiver-drier and system flush at installation.
