The Ford Explorer average ($263) runs 41% above its median ($186), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
Only 65% of Lexus IS350 grille listings include a posted price (601 of 924 observed) — the rest are "call for price," which usually signals negotiable or higher-than-average pricing.

Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used grille
- Check all clips and mounting tabs — grilles are brittle and tabs snap easily during removal.
- Confirm the trim level matches. Many vehicles have different grille designs for base, sport, and premium trims.
- Look for chrome peeling or pitting on chrome-finish grilles — these can't be economically re-plated.
- If the grille integrates sensors (adaptive cruise, parking sensors), confirm those modules are included and functional.
