4 wheeler starter prices

dlbuck · Jan 13, 2016

I have been checking prices for a starter on my Polaris 4 wheeler. The prices range from $164.00 at local NAPA, to $30.92 +free shipping on Amazon. What's the difference in quality if any? I would like to buy local, but that's a big difference in price.

Okay go back to Amazon and where you see the little stars there is a small number . Click on that and read the reviews. Since I'm so darn helpful I read them for you and everyone likes these starters . But seriously check it out , there is not problems listed.

I agree with dr. I just got a $30 starter for my lawn tractor with a twin Briggs. Super happy with it (wasn't happy with the PIA of installing it). Try this one for size; Needed an air conditioner compressor clutch for my car. Everywhere I looked the clutch was around $70 even online, but I could get a whole reman compressor with new clutch for $35. Bought it, took the clutch off and put it on the old compressor (this way I didn't have to drain and recharge the system).

been down this road a couple of times...oem starter and drive lasted a very short time paid around $170.00 for both. bought a starter and drive for $45.00 from amazon, been working for three years...i recomend amazon...
remove battery and stand 4-wheeler on the back end easyer to change the starter...you are about to experience polaris engineering at it"s absolute worst!

The price is probably the only difference. TDF

Polaris's are SOME FUN to work on aren't they?

I bought one from an online source for my Honda Big Red three wheeler for about 30+ and I bought one about 15 tears ago for about 60 and lasted until this fall. Some aftermarket ones are not rebuildable but I do not care because rebuilding is about 50 - 75 new about 300

It is to the point now you have to shop everything. Recently I needed a strut for a Camry. Best price local was double what I could get online, and it was the exact same part, and shipping was free, and I avoided the sales tax to boot. A couple bucks is one thing, but $50 or $60 is quite another. On the other hand, I was looking for a carb kit today and I can buy local for less on that. Well, Oreilly is not really what I consider local, and they do not stock it anyhow. I have been known to ask local to price match, and sometimes they will if it means they will lose the sale. I now buy most automotive type parts online due to prices.

I priced one for an '86 Suzuki 250 about 4 years ago and the dealer wanted right at $200 for an 'original equipment' starter! :shock: I went online and found one for $65 (was described as OEM and carried a warranty). When I got it I pulled the original and cleaned it off so I could read the stamped markings.
The markings and the manufacturer's name (Nippon-Denso) were [b:5326ab9a96]IDENTICAL[/b:5326ab9a96] - It's still working perfectly as of today. It was a seller on eBay as I recall. 8)

That would be why mine sits unless I need it to chase cattle. I fear it will break again and send me to the poor house with a bar of soap in my mouth.
