Where the Ford F150 starter is listed
We found priced Ford F150 starter listings at 532 salvage yards across 47 states. Illinois supplies the most, with 772 listings (16% of the total) from 31 yards. Location matters: yards in California ask a median $75, while North Carolina yards ask $160, 113% more for the same part. 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 Ford F150 starter cost?
Asking prices for a used Ford F150 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 166% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $133.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 2.7L (turbo), lists at a $126 median, while 3.5L (turbo), hybrid commands $197, a 56% 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 $75, while 2021 tops the table at $153. Parts from 2015–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2020 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 6 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Ford F150 sits 14% above the Mercedes E Class ($111), 1% above the Mercedes S Class ($125), and 48% 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.
