Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Model-year comparison
Market analysis
Asking prices for a used Cadillac CT5 engine are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 6.2L (VIN 6, 8th digit, opt LT4), lists at a $990 median, while 3.0L (VIN W, 8th digit, opt LGY), AWD commands $3,615, a 265% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2025 units carry the lowest median at $2,490, while 2020 tops the table at $2,690. Parts from 2020–2025 are interchangeable, so if the 2025 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 6 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Cadillac CT5 sits 2% above the Hyundai Elantra ($2,475), 219% above the Honda Civic ($792), and 18% above the Toyota RAV4 ($2,137) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
