Supply also plays a role: Mercedes E Class has 2,466 priced listings versus 1,357 for Chevy Camaro, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
The Mercedes E Class average ($6,137) runs 22% above its median ($5,038), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
Our guide covers 10 model years for the Mercedes E Class (2015–2024) but only 7 for the Chevy Camaro (2016–2024), so the Mercedes E Class data reflects a broader range of generations.

Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used engine
- Confirm the VIN-matched engine code — the same model can use different engines across trims and years.
- Ask for the mileage on the donor vehicle. Under 80K miles is ideal; over 120K usually needs a compression test.
- Look for signs of overheating: warped heads, milky oil on the dipstick or filler cap, and coolant residue around the head gaskets.
- Check whether accessories (alternator, A/C compressor, power steering pump) are included or if you need to swap yours over.
