Where the Buick Regal engine is listed
We found priced Buick Regal engine listings at 262 salvage yards across 33 states. Illinois supplies the most, with 235 listings (24% of the total) from 21 yards. Location matters: yards in Utah ask a median $1,000, while Illinois yards ask $2,239, 124% more for the same part. Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Market analysis
How much does a used Buick Regal engine cost?
Asking prices for a used Buick Regal engine are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 7 times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 34% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $1,875.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 2.0L (VIN X, 8th digit, opt LTG), AWD, lists at a $845 median, while 3.6L (VIN S, 8th digit, opt LGX) commands $1,825, a 116% 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 $922, while 2015 tops the table at $2,100. Parts from 2016–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2019 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 5 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Buick Regal sits 27% below the Hyundai Elantra ($2,475), 127% above the Honda Civic ($792), and 16% below the Toyota RAV4 ($2,137) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used engine: what to check
- Ask for a compression or leak-down test result. Reputable yards test engines before sale.
- Under 100K miles is the sweet spot for a used engine; insist on documented donor mileage.
- Confirm what's included: manifolds, sensors, and accessories vary by yard and change the real price.
- Match the engine code exactly. The same model year can ship with multiple displacements.
- Budget for new gaskets, seals, and fluids on installation; they're cheap insurance on a used engine.
