Where the Dodge Journey engine is listed

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 Dodge Journey engine cost?
Asking prices for a used Dodge Journey engine are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 3 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 10% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $1,800.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 3.6L (VIN G, 8th digit), (6 speed transmission), lists at a $1,740 median, while 2.4L (VIN B, 8th digit), (4 speed transmission) commands $1,800, a 3% 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 $1,500, while 2020 tops the table at $2,200. Parts from 2010–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 11 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Dodge Journey sits 30% below the Hyundai Elantra ($2,475), 120% above the Honda Civic ($792), and 19% 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.
