Where the Hyundai Sonata transmission is listed
We found priced Hyundai Sonata transmission listings at 751 salvage yards across 49 states. Florida supplies the most, with 540 listings (10% of the total) from 53 yards. Location matters: yards in Illinois ask a median $358, while North Carolina yards ask $1,090, 204% 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 Hyundai Sonata transmission cost?
Asking prices for a used Hyundai Sonata 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 24% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $869.
Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $411, while 2024 tops the table at $2,317. Parts from 2015–2019 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 5 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Hyundai Sonata sits 15% above the Ram 1500 ($700), 68% below the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($2,563), 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.
