Market analysis

How much does a used Infiniti Q50 ignition switch cost?

Asking prices for a used Infiniti Q50 ignition switch are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 7 times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 61% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $66.

Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $61, while 2017 tops the table at $99. Parts from 2014–2019 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 6 compatible years.

Against comparable vehicles, the Infiniti Q50 sits 34% below the Mercedes S Class ($100), 34% below the Hyundai Elantra ($100), and 33% below the Mercedes GLE Class ($99) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.

Buying a used ignition switch: what to check

  1. Inspect contact board for arc burning: Check multi-pin electrical harness plugs for brown heat discoloration caused by worn internal switch contacts.
  2. Test key cylinder detent feel: Turn the key through Accessory, Run, and Start positions to ensure crisp detents without key binding or slop.
  3. Verify immobilizer antenna halo inclusion: Confirm the plastic transponder receiver ring surrounds the key cylinder and has undamaged wiring terminals.
  4. Check mechanical steering lock bolt: Verify the spring-loaded column locking bolt extends and retracts smoothly when inserting and removing the key.
  5. Plan for key matching or re-keying: Ask if matching door keys are included, or budget for a lock technician to re-key the cylinder to your original key.
