Market analysis
How much does a used Subaru Outback radiator cost?
Asking prices for a used Subaru Outback radiator 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 30% premium over grade-B stock, with grade-A medians at $143.
Model year matters too: 2019 units carry the lowest median at $88, while 2024 tops the table at $243. Parts from 2017–2024 are interchangeable, so if the 2019 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 6 compatible years.

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.
