Where the Mercedes E Class throttle body is listed
We found priced Mercedes E Class throttle body listings at 156 salvage yards across 32 states. Florida supplies the most, with 503 listings (25% of the total) from 19 yards.

Market analysis
How much does a used Mercedes E Class throttle body cost?
Asking prices for a used Mercedes E Class throttle body 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 54% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $100.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 213 Type (Sedan and Wagon), E350, lists at a $100 median, while 238 type (Coupe and Convertible), E53 commands $147, a 47% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2017 units carry the lowest median at $70, while 2019 tops the table at $140. Parts from 2012–2022 are interchangeable, so if the 2017 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 11 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Mercedes E Class sits 24% below the Mercedes S Class ($120), 9% below the Mercedes GLE Class ($100), and 14% above the Hyundai Sonata ($80) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used throttle body: what to check
- Inspect bore and butterfly blade for carbon: Check the throttle plate for heavy carbon varnish or sticky shaft movement that causes rough engine idle.
- Verify electric actuator plug pins: Check electronic throttle actuator plug pins for corrosion, bent spades, or cracked plastic connector shrouds.
- Check butterfly shaft play and spring return: Wiggle the throttle shaft to check for worn bronze bushings or weak return springs on cable-operated units.
- Confirm vacuum nipples and coolant heating tubes: Check metal vacuum nipples and coolant heating passage tubes for corrosion, clogging, or breakage.
- Perform idle relearn procedure after install: Run an electronic throttle position calibration scan tool routine to clear high-idle fault codes.
