Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.

Model year matters too: 2023 units carry the lowest median at $140, while 2020 tops the table at $436. Parts from 2013–2023 are interchangeable, so if the 2023 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 11 compatible years.

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.
