Market analysis
How much does a used Buick Regal starter cost?
Asking prices for a used Buick Regal 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. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 192% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $146.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 2.0L, lists at a $65 median, while 3.6L commands $190, a 192% 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 $50, while 2019 tops the table at $151. Parts from 2008–2019 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 12 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Buick Regal sits 45% below the Ford F150 ($120), 47% below the Mercedes S Class ($125), and 22% below 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.
