Where the Fiat 500 engine is listed
We found priced Fiat 500 engine listings at 445 salvage yards across 44 states. California supplies the most, with 224 listings (11% of the total) from 37 yards. Location matters: yards in Indiana ask a median $838, while California yards ask $1,550, 85% 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 Fiat 500 engine cost?
Asking prices for a used Fiat 500 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.
Model year matters too: 2024 units carry the lowest median at $899, while 2022 tops the table at $3,438. Year-level pages linked in the table above break each one down by grade and variant.
Against comparable vehicles, the Fiat 500 sits 47% below the Hyundai Elantra ($2,475), 67% above the Honda Civic ($792), and 38% 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.
