Market overview

How much do Model S parts cost from a salvage yard?

The Tesla Model S has 12,145 priced salvage yard listings across 46 part categories (84% coverage). The most commonly listed parts are transmission control modules (639 listings, median $218), engines (638 listings, median $2,000), and brake calipers (536 listings, median $215). High listing volume means these parts are frequently replaced and competitively priced.

The most expensive Model S part to replace from a salvage yard is the engine at a median of $2,000 (range $385–$8,099). The most affordable is the instrument cluster at $70. Salvage parts typically save 50–75% compared to new OEM pricing.

Across all priced categories, the average Model S salvage part costs roughly $383 at the median. Parts with higher listing counts tend to have tighter price spreads because sellers compete more aggressively, giving buyers better leverage when negotiating.

When buying used Model S parts, always match the exact part number and confirm the model year. Parts that look identical between years can differ in mounting points, connectors, or electronic modules. Check condition grades — Grade A (excellent) parts are lightly used with no cosmetic damage, Grade B (good) shows normal wear, and Grade C (fair) may have visible wear or minor damage that does not affect function. Always verify the seller's return policy and ask whether the part was tested before removal.
