Where the Honda Accord engine is listed

Market analysis

How much does a used Honda Accord engine cost?

Asking prices for a used Honda Accord 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 148% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $1,612.

Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 1.5L (VIN 1, 6th digit, turbo), lists at a $1,978 median, while 2.0L, (VIN 2, 6th digit, hybrid), gasoline commands $2,000, a 1% 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 $1,000, while 2019 tops the table at $2,553. Parts from 2013–2017 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 5 compatible years.

Against comparable vehicles, the Honda Accord sits 34% below the Hyundai Elantra ($2,483), 108% above the Honda Civic ($792), and 18% 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

  1. Ask for a compression or leak-down test result. Reputable yards test engines before sale.
  2. Under 100K miles is the sweet spot for a used engine; insist on documented donor mileage.
  3. Confirm what's included: manifolds, sensors, and accessories vary by yard and change the real price.
  4. Match the engine code exactly. The same model year can ship with multiple displacements.
  5. Budget for new gaskets, seals, and fluids on installation; they're cheap insurance on a used engine.
