Where the Hyundai Kona starter is listed
We found priced Hyundai Kona starter listings at 82 salvage yards across 7 states. California supplies the most, with 261 listings (34% of the total) from 26 yards.

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 Hyundai Kona starter cost?
Asking prices for a used Hyundai Kona 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, automatic engine stop and start, lists at a $85 median, while 2.0L, w/o automatic engine stop and start commands $107, a 26% 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 $60, while 2022 tops the table at $161. Parts from 2012–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2021 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 9 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Hyundai Kona sits 30% below the Ford F150 ($132), 15% below the Mercedes E Class ($110), and 26% 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.
