Market analysis

How much does a used Buick Regal radiator cost?

Asking prices for a used Buick Regal radiator 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 101% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $173.

Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 2.0L, lists at a $138 median, while 3.6L commands $195, a 41% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.

Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $100, while 2015 tops the table at $178. Parts from 2010–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 11 compatible years.

Against comparable vehicles, the Buick Regal sits 49% below the Mercedes GLE Class ($300), 23% below the Mercedes S Class ($200), and 1% below the Ford Explorer ($155) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.

Buying a used radiator: what to check

  1. Inspect for bent fins, crusted seams, and dried coolant trails, all signs of leaks.
  2. Confirm automatic vs manual transmission versions; auto radiators include cooler lines.
  3. Plastic end tanks age badly. Favor low-mileage donors.
  4. Pressure-tested units are worth the premium; ask.
