Market analysis
How much does a used Hyundai Tucson starter cost?
Asking prices for a used Hyundai Tucson 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 23% premium over grade-B stock, with grade-A medians at $100.
Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $65, while 2017 tops the table at $161. Parts from 2010–2015 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 6 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Hyundai Tucson sits 36% below the Ford F150 ($126), 27% below the Mercedes E Class ($111), and 35% 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.
