Where the Lexus NX300 engine is listed
We found priced Lexus NX300 engine listings at 76 salvage yards across 8 states. California supplies the most, with 55 listings (32% of the total) from 20 yards.

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 Lexus NX300 engine cost?
Asking prices for a used Lexus NX300 engine are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 4 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 10% premium over grade-B stock, with grade-A medians at $1,500.
Model year matters too: 2021 units carry the lowest median at $1,450, while 2018 tops the table at $1,595. Parts from 2015–2021 are interchangeable, so if the 2021 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 7 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Lexus NX300 sits 40% below the Hyundai Elantra ($2,475), 88% above the Honda Civic ($792), and 30% 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.
