How much can you make parting out a Ford Escape 2013-2019?

Parting out a Ford Escape (2013-2019) has a twist most cars do not: the transmission, not the engine, is the single most valuable part. A clean third-generation Escape takes home roughly $4,787 in the parts worth pulling, after marketplace fees, before your own labor and freight. This is the third-generation C520 Escape (2013-2019), not the 2020-up redesign, so the body parts do not interchange with the newer car. But “an Escape” is not one number - the real figure depends on the engine, whether the car is AWD, and the trim. This is the full Ford Escape part-out value breakdown: what each major part sells for, why the transmission leads, how the four engines and AWD move the numbers, and how to get the exact figure before you buy.

Parting out a Ford Escape 2013-2019: the top parts

A few majors carry most of the part-out value. These are real used-market prices for the third-generation Escape, ranked by overall part-out value - your own labor, packing, and freight come off on top:

At a glance: estimated parts take-home $4,787+ · top part transmission at $1,775 · 18+ parts priced · prices updated Aug 2026 · years 2013 - 2019 · third generation (C520) · body SUV, AWD available. The “$4,787+” is the take-home across every part worth pulling, not just the five above - the top 5 are shown here, and 13 more sit behind them.

What each part is worth when parting out a Ford Escape

The table is the summary. The money is in reading it correctly, part by part.

Transmission - the standout, and the surprise. It lists around $1,775 and takes home about $1,539 after the marketplace fee - the most valuable part on the car, on a deep 191-listing sample. On most vehicles the engine leads; on this Escape it is the transmission, because used Escape automatics are in steady, strong demand. If the unit is good and the mileage checks out, the transmission is where a clean Escape pays for itself.

Engine - the solid second. The engine takes home about $765 on 195 listings. The range ($523 to $1,467) reflects the lineup: a 2.5L I4 and three EcoBoost fours (1.6L, 2.0L, 1.5L) are all “Escape engines,” and they are not the same money. The 1.6L EcoBoost in particular carries a recall history worth verifying. Decode the VIN and confirm the exact engine before you quote it.

Carrier differential, hood, and fender - the mid-tier. After the drivetrain, the value is a cluster. On an AWD car the carrier (rear) differential keeps about $407, though it rests on a thin 25-listing sample, so treat it as a soft number. The hood keeps about $469 on 91 listings - steady, because front-end hits are common on a high-volume SUV. The fender keeps about $311 but varies by trim and rests on demand more than price, so verify the configuration before you list it.

The full picture: 18+ parts, not 5

The five above are the headline, but they are not the whole car. 18-plus parts are worth pulling on a 2013 - 2019 Escape - the top 5 by overall value, plus 13 more that fill in the margin: headlights and tail lights, the infotainment and cluster, wheels, seats, mirrors, bumpers, modules, and the small mechanical parts. On a high-volume SUV the long tail is deep, because there are so many donors and so many buyers for the common parts.

Four engines - identify it before you quote

The Escape ran four engines over this generation: the 2.5L I4 (the base), and three EcoBoost fours - the 1.6L EcoBoost, the 2.0L EcoBoost, and the later 1.5L EcoBoost. The gap between them shows up in the price range ($523 to $1,467), and the 1.6L EcoBoost carries a recall history that is worth checking before you resell one. Sell the wrong engine and you buy a return; miss it on a bid and you misjudge the donor. Decode the VIN first, every time.

AWD adds the driveline a front-drive car does not have

The Escape shipped front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and that split decides which driveline parts the donor even has. An AWD car carries a carrier (rear) differential (about $407 take-home) and a transfer case (about $138) that a front-wheel-drive Escape simply does not - so those are a bonus on AWD donors and absent on FWD ones. It is a modest add, not a pillar. Confirm the car is actually AWD before you price the rear diff or transfer case.

Trims change which parts a car has - and what they sell for

Trim decides the hardware: lighting, wheels, seats, and audio all differ by trim, and so do their prices. This generation ran S, SE, SEL, and Titanium - and they are not the same donor. A Titanium carries better lighting, larger wheels, upgraded audio, and interior a base S does not; its parts sell for more. Read the trim before you price the trim-specific parts, because an S headlight and a Titanium headlight are different money.

The small parts only pay in volume

The alternator, starter, and A/C compressor all list under about $135 apiece. They are worth pulling only if you move them in volume - one or two at a time, the labor to pull, test, photograph, and ship eats the margin. On a car this common the upside is that buyers are always searching, so the small parts move fast if you list them well; the downside is that everyone else has them too, so price to the market. This is where a small operation quietly loses hours: the parts feel like money on the shelf, but they only pay if your listing and fulfillment are fast enough to move them at scale.

Get the exact number for your VIN before you buy

Everything above is the generation average. The car in front of you is a specific engine, drivetrain, and trim, with specific damage - so the real part-out value is specific too. That is what Pre-bid ROI gives you: paste the VIN and your max bid, edit the projected parts list to match what is intact on the lot, and it returns resale revenue from real used-market prices, minus marketplace fees, transport, and your bid - the net profit, a days-to-sell read per part, and a risk score. It works the same for Copart, IAA, and private buys, and it does not scrape the auction - you enter the price. Decoding the car is free: start with the free VIN decoder, then run the full profit number in reParta.
