Market analysis
How much does a used Buick Encore GX starter cost?
Asking prices for a used Buick Encore GX starter are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 1.3L, lists at a $75 median, while 1.2L commands $91, a 21% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2023 units carry the lowest median at $75, while 2021 tops the table at $190. Parts from 2020–2026 are interchangeable, so if the 2023 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 7 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Buick Encore GX sits 24% below the Ford F150 ($120), 27% below the Mercedes S Class ($125), and 7% above the Dodge Challenger ($85) 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.
