Market analysis

How much does a used Cadillac CTS turbocharger cost?

Asking prices for a used Cadillac CTS turbocharger 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 75% premium over grade-B stock, with grade-A medians at $328.

Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $210, while 2017 tops the table at $376. 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 28% below the Mercedes S Class ($450), 33% below the Mercedes E Class ($487), and 54% below the Mercedes GLE Class ($700) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.

Buying a used turbocharger: what to check

  1. Check shaft play. Any detectable radial movement means the bearing is worn.
  2. Ask for donor mileage and oil-change history if available; oil starvation kills turbos.
  3. Inspect the compressor wheel for chipped blades from debris ingestion.
  4. Budget for new oil feed and return lines. Reusing clogged lines destroys replacement turbos.
