Where the Jeep Compass engine is listed
We found priced Jeep Compass engine listings at 253 salvage yards across 23 states. Illinois supplies the most, with 255 listings (27% of the total) from 30 yards. Location matters: yards in Illinois ask a median $1,000, while Arizona yards ask $2,312, 131% 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 Jeep Compass engine cost?
Asking prices for a used Jeep Compass engine are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 8 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 118% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $1,637.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (2.4L, VIN B, 8th digit), 9 speed (4WD), lists at a $1,522 median, while (2.4L, VIN B, 8th digit), 6 speed (FWD) commands $1,750, a 15% 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 $900, while 2023 tops the table at $2,428. Parts from 2010–2017 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 8 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Jeep Compass sits 36% below the Hyundai Elantra ($2,483), 101% above the Honda Civic ($792), and 21% 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.
