Where the Buick Regal transmission is listed
We found priced Buick Regal transmission listings at 282 salvage yards across 37 states. California supplies the most, with 129 listings (17% of the total) from 35 yards. Location matters: yards in Indiana ask a median $402, while California yards ask $1,030, 156% 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 Regal transmission cost?
Asking prices for a used Buick Regal transmission 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 10% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $640.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (AT), 2.0L, AWD, lists at a $575 median, while (AT), 3.6L commands $1,687, a 193% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2020 units carry the lowest median at $580, while 2017 tops the table at $978. Parts from 2018–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2020 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 3 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Buick Regal sits 8% below the Ram 1500 ($705), 74% below the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($2,548), and 68% 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.
