Only 65% of Kia Optima fender listings include a posted price (630 of 969 observed) — the rest are "call for price," which usually signals negotiable or higher-than-average pricing.
The Jeep Gladiator has 12 known trim variants compared to 3 for the Kia Optima, which means buyers need to be more careful about matching the exact engine or drivetrain configuration on the Jeep Gladiator.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used fender
- Check bolt holes for elongation — this means the panel was adjusted after impact and may not line up cleanly.
- Run your hand along the inside surface to feel for body filler. Filler means the fender was repaired, not original.
- Confirm whether the fender liner and side marker light are included.
- Match the paint code stamped on the driver's door jamb — even the right color name can vary by production code.
