Where the Cadillac CTS throttle body is listed
We found priced Cadillac CTS throttle body listings at 130 salvage yards across 24 states. Arizona supplies the most, with 150 listings (26% of the total) from 21 yards.

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 Cadillac CTS throttle body cost?
Asking prices for a used Cadillac CTS throttle body 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 36% 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, (throttle valve assembly), 2.0L, lists at a $75 median, while (throttle valve assembly), 3.6L, VIN 8 (8th digit, opt LF3, twin turbo) commands $169, a 125% 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 $66, while 2019 tops the table at $80. Parts from 2013–2022 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 10 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Cadillac CTS sits 37% below the Mercedes S Class ($120), 25% below the Mercedes GLE Class ($100), and 18% below the Mercedes E Class ($91) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used throttle body: what to check
- Inspect bore and butterfly blade for carbon: Check the throttle plate for heavy carbon varnish or sticky shaft movement that causes rough engine idle.
- Verify electric actuator plug pins: Check electronic throttle actuator plug pins for corrosion, bent spades, or cracked plastic connector shrouds.
- Check butterfly shaft play and spring return: Wiggle the throttle shaft to check for worn bronze bushings or weak return springs on cable-operated units.
- Confirm vacuum nipples and coolant heating tubes: Check metal vacuum nipples and coolant heating passage tubes for corrosion, clogging, or breakage.
- Perform idle relearn procedure after install: Run an electronic throttle position calibration scan tool routine to clear high-idle fault codes.
