Where the Mercedes S Class radiator is listed

Market analysis
How much does a used Mercedes S Class radiator cost?
Asking prices for a used Mercedes S Class radiator are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 160% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $195.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, Non-Interchange search using only Mercedes S Class, lists at a $250 median, while Non-Interchange search using Mercedes S Class and similar models commands $265, a 6% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $179, while 2022 tops the table at $286. Parts from 2010–2021 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 12 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Mercedes S Class sits 33% below the Mercedes GLE Class ($300), 29% above the Ford Explorer ($155), and 18% above the Jeep Wrangler ($170) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used radiator: what to check
- Inspect for bent fins, crusted seams, and dried coolant trails, all signs of leaks.
- Confirm automatic vs manual transmission versions; auto radiators include cooler lines.
- Plastic end tanks age badly. Favor low-mileage donors.
- Pressure-tested units are worth the premium; ask.
