A used Dodge Challenger starter carries a median asking price of $85, which is 13% higher than the Subaru Impreza at $75. Supply also plays a role: Dodge Challenger has 1,537 priced listings versus 519 for Subaru Impreza, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.

The Dodge Challenger average ($113) runs 33% above its median ($85), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.

Our guide covers 8 model years for the Dodge Challenger (2015–2024) but only 6 for the Subaru Impreza (2018–2023), so the Dodge Challenger data reflects a broader range of generations.

The Dodge Challenger starter is interchangeable across 21 model years versus just 7 for the Subaru Impreza — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.

At Grade B (good) condition, the Subaru Impreza is 31% cheaper ($85 vs $123) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.

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.
