Supply also plays a role: Mercedes S Class has 5,325 priced listings versus 1,097 for Hyundai Tucson, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
Our guide covers 11 model years for the Hyundai Tucson (2015–2025) but only 9 for the Mercedes S Class (2015–2024), so the Hyundai Tucson data reflects a broader range of generations.

Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used radiator
- Inspect for bent or crushed fins — minor cosmetic bending is OK, but large crushed sections reduce cooling capacity.
- Check both tanks (top and bottom) for cracks, especially along the crimped seams on plastic-tank radiators.
- Confirm the inlet/outlet positions and sizes match — some models moved ports between model years.
- Look for internal blockage: shake the unit and listen for debris, or flush it with a garden hose before installing.
