Model year matters too: 2018 units carry the lowest median at $83, while 2024 tops the table at $264. Parts from 2014–2021 are interchangeable, so if the 2018 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 8 compatible years.

Buying a used ac condenser: what to check
- Inspect fins for road-debris damage across the lower third, the usual impact zone.
- Confirm the refrigerant type and fitting style match your system.
- Bent inlet lines are common in removal; check photos closely.
- Replace the receiver-drier at the same time. It's cheap and protects the system.
