At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Nissan Murano is 37% cheaper ($85 vs $135) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.
The Mercedes S Class has 5 known trim variants compared to 3 for the Nissan Murano, which means buyers need to be more careful about matching the exact engine or drivetrain configuration on the Mercedes S Class.
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.
