Market analysis
Why does the Hyundai Elantra tailgate cost more?
A used Hyundai Elantra tailgate carries a median asking price of $600, which is 54% higher than the Subaru WRX at $390. Supply also plays a role: Hyundai Elantra has 3,133 priced listings versus 1,305 for Subaru WRX, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
The Hyundai Elantra average ($693) runs 16% above its median ($600), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
The Hyundai Elantra tailgate is interchangeable across 14 model years versus just 10 for the Subaru WRX — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used tailgate
- Verify feature provisions such as backup camera mount cutouts, keyless entry release solenoids, power liftgate struts, and integrated step ladders.
- Inspect bottom hem seams and lower drain holes for rust perforation, rot, or previous dent repair filler.
- Check hinge pin bushings, latch alignment hooks, and support cable attachment points for metal fatigue or bend damage.
- Match bodyline contours, spoiler mounting cutouts, and emblem indentations between base and sport trim models.
