Market analysis

How much does a used Tesla Model Y engine cost?

Asking prices for a used Tesla Model Y engine are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 5 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 47% premium over grade-B stock, with grade-A medians at $1,309.

Model year matters too: 2022 units carry the lowest median at $1,100, while 2025 tops the table at $1,500. Year-level pages linked in the table above break each one down by grade and variant.

Against comparable vehicles, the Tesla Model Y sits 47% below the Hyundai Elantra ($2,475), 65% above the Honda Civic ($792), and 39% 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

  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.
