Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $56, while 2023 tops the table at $213. Parts from 2007–2017 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 11 compatible years.

Buying a used alternator: what to check
- Ask for the amperage rating. The same vehicle can ship with multiple outputs.
- Bench-tested units are worth a small premium; ask for the test result.
- Check pulley type (solid vs clutched) matches your old unit.
- Low-mileage donors matter less here than test results. Brushes wear by hours, not miles.
