Where the GMC Acadia engine is listed
We found priced GMC Acadia engine listings at 126 salvage yards across 14 states. Florida supplies the most, with 523 listings (46% of the total) from 35 yards. Location matters: yards in Texas ask a median $425, while Colorado yards ask $2,475, 482% 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 GMC Acadia engine cost?
Asking prices for a used GMC Acadia 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. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 68% premium over grade-B stock, with grade-A medians at $790.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 3.6L (VIN S, 8th digit, opt LGX), w/o heavy duty cooling, lists at a $550 median, while 2.0L (VIN 4, 8th digit, opt LSY) commands $975, a 77% 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 $448, while 2025 tops the table at $2,749. Parts from 2017–2022 are interchangeable, so if the 2019 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 6 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the GMC Acadia sits 72% below the Hyundai Elantra ($2,483), 11% below the Honda Civic ($792), and 65% below the Toyota RAV4 ($2,000) 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.
