Where the Ford F250 starter is listed
We found priced Ford F250 starter listings at 344 salvage yards across 42 states. Indiana supplies the most, with 318 listings (8% of the total) from 12 yards.

Market analysis
How much does a used Ford F250 starter cost?
Asking prices for a used Ford F250 starter are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 7 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 122% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $144.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 6.7L, lists at a $127 median, while 7.3L commands $164, a 29% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2021 units carry the lowest median at $130, while 2023 tops the table at $147. Parts from 2011–2022 are interchangeable, so if the 2021 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 12 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Ford F250 sits 18% above the Ford F150 ($120), 13% above the Mercedes S Class ($125), and 66% 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.
