Where the Dodge Journey starter is listed
We found priced Dodge Journey starter listings at 32 salvage yards across 4 states. Texas supplies the most, with 80 listings (33% of the total) from 5 yards. Location matters: yards in Florida ask a median $40, while Texas yards ask $75, 88% more for the same part. Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

| Florida | 68 | 6 | $40-20% |

Market analysis
How much does a used Dodge Journey starter cost?
Asking prices for a used Dodge Journey starter are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 8 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, 3.6L, (6 speed transmission), lists at a $50 median, while 2.4L, (4 speed transmission) commands $55, a 10% 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 $40, while 2016 tops the table at $75. Parts from 2010–2021 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 12 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Dodge Journey sits 58% below the Ford F150 ($120), 60% below the Mercedes S Class ($125), and 41% 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.
