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 Fusion starter cost?
Asking prices for a used Ford Fusion 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.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 2.0L, VIN 9 (8th digit, turbo), w/o automatic engine stop and start, lists at a $50 median, while 1.5L commands $158, a 216% 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 2016 tops the table at $75. Parts from 2012–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 9 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Ford Fusion sits 48% below the Ford F150 ($126), 41% below the Mercedes E Class ($111), and 48% 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.
