Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 2.7L (VIN A, 5th digit), lists at a $76 median, while 3.5L, VIN Z (5th digit) commands $96, a 26% 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 $75, while 2023 tops the table at $166. Parts from 2007–2019 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 13 compatible years.

Buying a used alternator: what to check
- Ask for the amperage rating. The same vehicle can ship with multiple outputs.
- Bench-tested units are worth a small premium; ask for the test result.
- Check pulley type (solid vs clutched) matches your old unit.
- Low-mileage donors matter less here than test results. Brushes wear by hours, not miles.
