Where the Dodge Challenger starter is listed
We found priced Dodge Challenger starter listings at 495 salvage yards across 45 states. Illinois supplies the most, with 412 listings (15% of the total) from 31 yards.

Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Market analysis
How much does a used Dodge Challenger starter cost?
Asking prices for a used Dodge Challenger 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 25% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $91.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 3.6L, lists at a $65 median, while 6.4L, engine ID ESH commands $131, a 102% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2020 units carry the lowest median at $65, while 2021 tops the table at $110. Parts from 2005–2023 are interchangeable, so if the 2020 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 19 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Dodge Challenger sits 33% below the Ford F150 ($126), 23% below the Mercedes E Class ($111), and 32% below the Mercedes S Class ($125) 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.
