Market analysis
How much does a used Lincoln MKZ starter cost?
Asking prices for a used Lincoln MKZ 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, 3.0L (turbo), lists at a $104 median, while 2.0L, VIN 9 (8th digit, turbo) commands $236, a 127% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $65, while 2017 tops the table at $123. Parts from 2007–2019 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 13 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Lincoln MKZ sits 42% below the Ford F150 ($120), 44% below the Mercedes S Class ($125), and 18% below the Dodge Challenger ($85) 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.
