The most affordable variant we track, (2.4L), VIN D (5th digit), lists at a $4,917 median, while (2.4L), VIN E (5th digit) commands $7,000, a 42% gap inside the same part category.

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.
