The Mercedes GLE Class average ($151) runs 51% above its median ($100), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
Our guide covers 11 model years for the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport (2015–2025) but only 9 for the Mercedes GLE Class (2016–2025), so the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Mercedes GLE Class throttle body is interchangeable across 18 model years versus just 13 for the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport — 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 throttle body
- Distinguish between electronic drive-by-wire throttle bodies and traditional cable-actuated units with Idle Air Control (IAC) valves.
- Check bore diameter and butterfly valve throat for heavy carbon build-up, shaft play, or scoring along the aluminum bore wall.
- Inspect electronic sensor housing cover and connector pins for moisture entry, cracks, or burnt circuit traces.
- Verify coolant heating bypass nipple locations and vacuum port configurations, which vary by vehicle region and emission spec.
