Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, front, passenger, knee, lists at a $155 median, while front, driver, wheel commands $863, a 457% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2019 units carry the lowest median at $91, while 2025 tops the table at $472. Parts from 2010–2019 are interchangeable, so if the 2019 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 10 compatible years.

Buying a used air bag: 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.
