Market analysis
Why does the Dodge Challenger strut cost more?
A used Dodge Challenger strut carries a median asking price of $165, which is 74% higher than the Mercedes Sprinter at $95. Supply also plays a role: Dodge Challenger has 4,638 priced listings versus 194 for Mercedes Sprinter, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
Grade A (excellent condition) parts make up 78% of Dodge Challenger listings compared to 54% for the Mercedes Sprinter, so buyers looking for top-condition units will find more options on the Dodge Challenger side.
The Dodge Challenger average ($215) runs 30% above its median ($165), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
Our guide covers 9 model years for the Dodge Challenger (2015–2023) but only 6 for the Mercedes Sprinter (2015–2021), so the Dodge Challenger data reflects a broader range of generations.
Only 54% of Mercedes Sprinter strut listings include a posted price (194 of 358 observed) — the rest are "call for price," which usually signals negotiable or higher-than-average pricing.
The Dodge Challenger strut is interchangeable across 13 model years versus just 6 for the Mercedes Sprinter — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Mercedes Sprinter is 45% cheaper ($100 vs $182) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used strut
- Check the shaft for pitting or rust — a pitted shaft will chew through the new seal and start leaking immediately.
- Look for oil weeping around the seal area. A light film is normal on older units; dripping means it's spent.
- Confirm whether the strut mount and spring are included, or if you'll need to transfer yours over.
- Match the part to your vehicle's suspension type (standard, sport, electronic/adaptive) — they're not interchangeable.
