Where the Honda Pilot engine is listed
We found priced Honda Pilot engine listings at 365 salvage yards across 41 states. California supplies the most, with 543 listings (20% of the total) from 48 yards. Location matters: yards in California ask a median $1,460, while Michigan yards ask $2,080, 42% 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 Honda Pilot engine cost?
Asking prices for a used Honda Pilot 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 85% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $1,850.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, gasoline, 2.5L (VIN 7, 8th digit), lists at a $399 median, while gasoline, 1.5L (VIN D, 8th digit, turbo) commands $2,135, a 435% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2021 units carry the lowest median at $1,080, while 2025 tops the table at $3,638. Parts from 2019–2022 are interchangeable, so if the 2021 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 4 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Honda Pilot sits 36% below the Hyundai Elantra ($2,483), 102% above the Honda Civic ($792), and 20% 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.
