Supply also plays a role: Mercedes S Class has 1,219 priced listings versus 212 for Buick Regal, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.

Our guide covers 9 model years for the Mercedes S Class (2015–2024) but only 6 for the Buick Regal (2015–2020), so the Mercedes S Class data reflects a broader range of generations.

Only 65% of Mercedes S Class master cylinder listings include a posted price (1,219 of 1,881 observed) — the rest are "call for price," which usually signals negotiable or higher-than-average pricing.

The Mercedes S Class master cylinder is interchangeable across 15 model years versus just 10 for the Buick Regal — 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 brake master cylinder

  • Verify reservoir port style, fluid level sensor connector pin count, and brake line flare port sizes and locations (metric vs imperial threads).
  • Check bore size specifications, as vehicles equipped with heavy-duty tow packages or larger brake calipers use larger diameter master cylinder bores.
  • Inspect primary and secondary piston bore seals for internal bypass leaks, fluid weeping at the brake booster mounting flange, or dark sludge build-up.
  • Confirm whether the unit is designed for vacuum-assisted, hydro-boost, or electro-hydraulic brake systems.
