Which cars to pull them from

The same part is worth very different money on different cars. "Highest prices" are the models whose part brings the most (at least 10 sales); "sells most often" are the volume models, easier to find in a yard and to sell.

Before you pull

  1. Match the exact unit. Part number, options and what's included in the assembly move the price more than the model does.
  2. Check condition first. Broken tabs, missing connectors and untested electronics cut what a buyer will pay.
  3. Work back from your costs. A sold price isn't profit: take off the yard price, fees, packing and shipping.

Method

Typical price is the sales-weighted median of each vehicle/part pair's median eBay sold price; the range is the weighted 25th–75th percentile of those per-vehicle prices, not of individual sales. Model lists need at least 10 sales, and a single-year entry is one model year's sample. Overlapping searches can count the same listing twice, so this report gives no sale counts. Figures are as shown on our live part-price pages on October 22, 2026 (45 parts tracked); this edition stays fixed while those pages update.
