Where the Buick Encore GX transmission is listed
We found priced Buick Encore GX transmission listings at 161 salvage yards across 20 states. Texas supplies the most, with 235 listings (33% of the total) from 34 yards. Location matters: yards in Oklahoma ask a median $668, while Wisconsin yards ask $900, 35% 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 Buick Encore GX transmission cost?
Asking prices for a used Buick Encore GX transmission are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 5 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 38% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $850.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (AT), 1.2L (FWD), lists at a $800 median, while (AT), 1.3L, FWD commands $965, a 21% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2021 units carry the lowest median at $768, while 2025 tops the table at $873. Parts from 2020–2025 are interchangeable, so if the 2021 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 6 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Buick Encore GX sits 13% above the Ram 1500 ($705), 69% below the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($2,548), and 61% below the Ford F150 ($2,060) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used transmission: what to check
- Ask for the donor mileage. Under 80K miles leaves significantly more service life.
- Confirm the torque converter is included with automatics; most yards include it, but verify.
- Match engine and drivetrain exactly. A CVT from a base trim won't fit a manual sport trim.
- Ask if the unit was test-driven or fluid-inspected before the donor was dismantled.
- Plan a fluid and filter change at install. Old fluid in a good unit causes avoidable failures.
