Market analysis
Why does the Toyota RAV4 ignition switch cost more?
A used Toyota RAV4 ignition switch carries a median asking price of $99, which is 50% higher than the Infiniti Q50 at $66. Supply also plays a role: Toyota RAV4 has 1,538 priced listings versus 503 for Infiniti Q50, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
Grade A (excellent condition) parts make up 86% of Infiniti Q50 listings compared to 66% for the Toyota RAV4, so buyers looking for top-condition units will find more options on the Infiniti Q50 side.
The Infiniti Q50 average ($80) runs 21% above its median ($66), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
At Grade B (good) condition, the Infiniti Q50 is 34% cheaper ($66 vs $100) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used ignition switch
- Determine if the unit includes the mechanical lock cylinder with matching keys, or if it is purely the electrical ignition switch contact block.
- Match key transponder chip frequency (Passlock, PATS, or RFID) and verify if anti-theft relearn or key programming tools will be required.
- Inspect wire harness pigtail connectors for burnt plastic or loose female spade terminals caused by ignition circuit overload.
- Verify key cylinder positions (Accessory, Off, Run, Start) turn smoothly without sticking, binding, or requiring key jiggling.
