The price reference is the median of configuration medians, not the median of all active cars. Each configuration has equal weight. Configurations with at least 3 priced listings are used when available; otherwise the reference uses the configurations with a recorded price. Model years, mileage and condition vary.

The 5.2L 8-cyl D-Series: common questions

Which D-Series years have the 5.2L 8-cyl?

1984–1993, without a break — 10 model years in our VIN decode, across 19 factory configurations and 648 VINs.

What does a 5.2L 8-cyl D-Series cost?

$14,925 is a configuration price reference: the median of configuration medians, with each priced configuration weighted equally. It is not a listing-level median or a valuation of an individual car. The year-by-year ladder shows VIN and inventory counts; its links open model-year price reports covering all engines.

What is the engine code, and does it matter?

2BBL — the code the VIN decodes to on the configurations on this page. It matters when you order parts or read a service history: the same displacement badge on another model can be a different code with different outputs.
