Where the Jeep Compass starter is listed
We found priced Jeep Compass starter listings at 153 salvage yards across 25 states. Illinois supplies the most, with 159 listings (19% of the total) from 17 yards. Location matters: yards in Florida ask a median $40, while Texas yards ask $107, 168% more for the same part. 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 Jeep Compass starter cost?
Asking prices for a used Jeep Compass 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, (2.4L), engine ID ED6, lists at a $60 median, while (2.4L), engine ID EDE commands $105, a 75% 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 $40, while 2022 tops the table at $161. Parts from 2010–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 11 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Jeep Compass sits 44% below the Ford F150 ($126), 36% below the Mercedes E Class ($111), and 43% 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.
