Market analysis

A used Mercedes S Class turbocharger carries a median asking price of $450, which is 27% higher than the Infiniti QX50 at $355. Supply also plays a role: Mercedes S Class has 4,127 priced listings versus 326 for Infiniti QX50, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
The Mercedes S Class average ($571) runs 27% above its median ($450), 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 S Class (2015–2024) but only 6 for the Infiniti QX50 (2019–2024), so the Mercedes S Class data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Mercedes S Class turbocharger is interchangeable across 14 model years versus just 6 for the Infiniti QX50 — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Infiniti QX50 is 23% cheaper ($355 vs $464) — the gap narrows compared to the overall median difference.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used turbo
- Spin the turbine by hand — it should rotate freely with zero play. Any shaft wobble means worn bearings.
- Check the compressor wheel blades for impact marks from debris ingestion.
- Inspect the oil feed and return ports for coking (hardened oil deposits that block lubrication).
- Confirm the turbo model matches your ECU tune — different output turbos may bolt on but throw fault codes.
