Where the Cadillac CTS water pump is listed
We found priced Cadillac CTS water pump listings at 94 salvage yards across 26 states. Michigan supplies the most, with 98 listings (26% of the total) from 14 yards. Location matters: yards in Texas ask a median $30, while Florida yards ask $120, 300% 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 Cadillac CTS water pump cost?
Asking prices for a used Cadillac CTS water pump 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 30% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $65.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 3.0L, lists at a $75 median, while 2.0L commands $120, a 60% 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 $50, while 2022 tops the table at $97. Parts from 2008–2023 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 16 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Cadillac CTS sits 57% below the Mercedes S Class ($150), 59% below the Mercedes GLE Class ($158), and 55% below the Mercedes E Class ($144) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used water pump: what to check
- Inspect weep hole for coolant stain trails: Check the bottom housing weep hole for wet coolant leaks, green crust, or rust trails indicating shaft seal failure.
- Verify shaft bearing play and impeller rotation: Spin the pulley hub by hand to feel for gritty bearing movement, radial shaft wobble, or binding impellers.
- Check impeller blade material and condition: Inspect plastic or stamped metal impeller vanes for cavitation erosion, broken fins, or loose press-fit hubs.
- Confirm housing mounting flange flatness: Verify that aluminum mating flanges are free of deep gouges, corrosion pits, or cracked bolt holes.
- Install a new gasket and flush system coolant: Clean block mating surfaces thoroughly and refill with fresh manufacturer-approved coolant during installation.
