Market analysis

How much does a used Mercedes S Class turbocharger cost?

Asking prices for a used Mercedes S 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.

Model year matters too: 2017 units carry the lowest median at $366, while 2023 tops the table at $1,970. Parts from 2011–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2017 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 10 compatible years.

Against comparable vehicles, the Mercedes S Class sits 8% below the Mercedes E Class ($487), 36% below the Mercedes GLE Class ($700), and 50% above the Ford F150 ($301) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.

Buying a used turbocharger: what to check

  1. Check shaft play. Any detectable radial movement means the bearing is worn.
  2. Ask for donor mileage and oil-change history if available; oil starvation kills turbos.
  3. Inspect the compressor wheel for chipped blades from debris ingestion.
  4. Budget for new oil feed and return lines. Reusing clogged lines destroys replacement turbos.
