Market analysis

A used Chevy Traverse engine costs between $115 and $2,600, with a median asking price of $876. That figure comes from 545 priced salvage-yard listings tracked by our index.

Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 3.6L (VIN W, 8th digit, opt LFY), lists at a $484 median, while 2.5L (VIN S, 8th digit, opt LK0) commands $2,475, a 411% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2020 units carry the lowest median at $396, while 2024 tops the table at $2,475. Parts from 2018–2023 are interchangeable, so if the 2020 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 6 compatible years.

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.
