Model year matters too: 2019 units carry the lowest median at $113, while 2025 tops the table at $222. Parts from 2017–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2019 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 4 compatible years.

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.
