Where the Chevy Cruze radiator is listed

Location matters: yards in Texas ask a median $80, while Illinois yards ask $147, 84% more for the same part. Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Market analysis
How much does a used Chevy Cruze radiator cost?
Asking prices for a used Chevy Cruze radiator are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 8 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 104% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $143.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, diesel, w/o temperature sensor port, lists at a $100 median, while gas, temperature sensor port commands $135, a 35% 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 2019 tops the table at $182. Parts from 2011–2019 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 8 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Chevy Cruze sits 63% below the Mercedes GLE Class ($300), 45% below the Mercedes S Class ($200), and 29% 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
- Inspect for bent fins, crusted seams, and dried coolant trails, all signs of leaks.
- Confirm automatic vs manual transmission versions; auto radiators include cooler lines.
- Plastic end tanks age badly. Favor low-mileage donors.
- Pressure-tested units are worth the premium; ask.
