A used Mercedes E Class starter carries a median asking price of $100, which is 18% higher than the Jeep Wagoneer at $85. Supply also plays a role: Mercedes E Class has 1,930 priced listings versus 166 for Jeep Wagoneer, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.

The Mercedes E Class average ($121) runs 21% above its median ($100), 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 3 for the Jeep Wagoneer (2023–2025), so the Mercedes E Class data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Mercedes E Class starter is interchangeable across 14 model years versus just 7 for the Jeep Wagoneer — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade B (good) condition, the Mercedes E Class is 46% cheaper ($80 vs $147) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used starter
- Match the bolt pattern and nose cone length — starters from the same engine family may physically bolt up but not engage the flywheel correctly.
- Check the solenoid for corrosion on the electrical terminals.
- Ask whether it was bench-tested. A starter should crank firmly without excessive draw.
- Verify the tooth count on the drive gear matches your flywheel or flexplate.
