Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Market analysis
How much does a used Mercedes E Class turbocharger cost?
Asking prices for a used Mercedes E Class turbocharger 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.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 213 Type (Sedan and Wagon), E53, electric, lists at a $550 median, while 238 type (Coupe and Convertible), E53, exhaust driven commands $1,177, a 114% 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 $375, while 2021 tops the table at $1,177. Parts from 2012–2019 are interchangeable, so if the 2017 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 8 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Mercedes E Class sits 8% above the Mercedes S Class ($450), 30% below the Mercedes GLE Class ($700), and 61% above the Ford F150 ($302) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used turbocharger: what to check
- Check shaft play. Any detectable radial movement means the bearing is worn.
- Ask for donor mileage and oil-change history if available; oil starvation kills turbos.
- Inspect the compressor wheel for chipped blades from debris ingestion.
- Budget for new oil feed and return lines. Reusing clogged lines destroys replacement turbos.
