Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Model-year comparison
Market analysis
Asking prices for a used Volvo S60 engine are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 9 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 225% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $3,086.
Model year matters too: 2017 units carry the lowest median at $2,148, while 2025 tops the table at $4,475. Parts from 2015–2018 are interchangeable, so if the 2017 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 4 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Volvo S60 sits 17% above the Hyundai Elantra ($2,475), 266% above the Honda Civic ($792), and 36% above the Toyota RAV4 ($2,137) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
