Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 113% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $85.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, Denso manufacturer, lists at a $85 median, while Bosch manufacturer commands $181, a 113% 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 $85, while 2025 tops the table at $90. Parts from 2006–2022 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 17 compatible years.

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.
