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 Ranger starter cost?
Asking prices for a used Ford Ranger 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.
Model year matters too: 2020 units carry the lowest median at $71, while 2019 tops the table at $155. Parts from 2019–2023 are interchangeable, so if the 2020 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 5 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Ford Ranger sits 14% below the Ford F150 ($126), 3% below the Mercedes E Class ($111), and 14% 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.
