Supply also plays a role: Mercedes E Class has 1,729 priced listings versus 184 for Lincoln Aviator, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
The Lincoln Aviator average ($1,219) falls below its median ($1,420), suggesting a cluster of deeply discounted units — often high-mileage or incomplete assemblies.
Our guide covers 10 model years for the Mercedes E Class (2015–2025) but only 7 for the Lincoln Aviator (2016–2025), so the Mercedes E Class data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Mercedes E Class hood is interchangeable across 16 model years versus just 7 for the Lincoln Aviator — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used hood
- Inspect the underside for buckled or kinked reinforcement ribs — a sign of impact damage that may not show on top.
- Check hinge mounting points for elongated bolt holes, which indicate prior adjustment after a collision.
- Look for signs of repaint: overspray on the underside edges, tape lines, or mismatched texture compared to fenders.
- Confirm whether the hood insulator pad is included — replacing it separately runs $30–$80.
