Market analysis
How much does a used Acura MDX starter cost?
A used Acura MDX starter costs between $40 and $290, with a median asking price of $125. That figure comes from 115 priced salvage-yard listings tracked by our index. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 25% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $125.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 3.5L, lists at a $95 median, while 3.0L (Type S) commands $156, a 64% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2017 units carry the lowest median at $81, while 2025 tops the table at $141. Parts from 2014–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2017 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 6 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Acura MDX sits 15% above the Ford F150 ($109), 45% above the GMC Sierra 1500 ($86), and 33% above the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($94) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used starter: what to check
- Ask if the unit was bench-tested. Starters are cheap to test and yards that do will say so.
- Match the flywheel tooth count and mounting bolt pattern to your engine code.
- Check the solenoid connector style; mid-year changes are common.
- A remanufactured unit with warranty is sometimes only slightly more than used, so compare both.
