The Mercedes S Class average ($147) runs 23% above its median ($120), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.

Our guide covers 8 model years for the Mercedes S Class (2015–2022) but only 3 for the Jaguar XE (2017–2020), so the Mercedes S Class data reflects a broader range of generations.

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.
