Market analysis
How much does a used Buick Encore strut cost?
Asking prices for a used Buick Encore strut 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 44% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $75.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (front), FWD, LH, lists at a $75 median, while (front), AWD, RH commands $119, a 59% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $60, while 2021 tops the table at $80. Parts from 2013–2022 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 10 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Buick Encore sits 79% below the Mercedes S Class ($350), 21% below the Jeep Compass ($95), and 37% below the Ford Explorer ($120) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used strut: what to check
- Buy struts in pairs. Mixing wear levels ruins handling and tire wear.
- Check for oil streaks on the strut body, the sign of a blown seal.
- Confirm sport vs base suspension. Spring rates and heights differ.
- Factor in new mounts and bearings; reusing old ones wastes the labor.
