Where the Mazda CX5 engine is listed
We found priced Mazda CX5 engine listings at 506 salvage yards across 44 states. California supplies the most, with 390 listings (15% of the total) from 72 yards.

Market analysis
How much does a used Mazda CX5 engine cost?
Asking prices for a used Mazda CX5 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 106% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $1,288.
Model year matters too: 2018 units carry the lowest median at $725, while 2024 tops the table at $1,904. Parts from 2018–2025 are interchangeable, so if the 2018 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 8 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Mazda CX5 sits 55% below the Hyundai Elantra ($2,483), 40% above the Honda Civic ($792), and 44% 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.
