Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 2.0L, lists at a $98 median, while 3.0L commands $212, a 116% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $65, while 2023 tops the table at $151. Parts from 2011–2018 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 8 compatible years.

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.
