Grade A (excellent condition) parts make up 78% of Volvo S60 listings compared to 56% for the Chevy Silverado 1500, so buyers looking for top-condition units will find more options on the Volvo S60 side.
The Volvo S60 average ($99) runs 32% above its median ($75), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
The Volvo S60 starter is interchangeable across 18 model years versus just 13 for the Chevy Silverado 1500 — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.

Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used starter
- Match the bolt pattern and nose cone length — starters from the same engine family may physically bolt up but not engage the flywheel correctly.
- Check the solenoid for corrosion on the electrical terminals.
- Ask whether it was bench-tested. A starter should crank firmly without excessive draw.
- Verify the tooth count on the drive gear matches your flywheel or flexplate.
