Market analysis

Why does the Kia Soul rear view mirror cost more?

A used Kia Soul rear view mirror carries a median asking price of $103, which is 21% higher than the Nissan Altima at $85. Supply also plays a role: Kia Soul has 1,377 priced listings versus 911 for Nissan Altima, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.

The Nissan Altima average ($126) runs 48% above its median ($85), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.

Our guide covers 11 model years for the Nissan Altima (2015–2025) but only 9 for the Kia Soul (2015–2025), so the Nissan Altima data reflects a broader range of generations.

The Kia Soul rear view mirror is interchangeable across 25 model years versus just 21 for the Nissan Altima — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.

At Grade B (good) condition, the Nissan Altima is 25% cheaper ($77 vs $103) — the gap narrows compared to the overall median difference.

Buyer's checklist

What to check before buying a used rear view mirror

  • Verify mirror feature integration, including auto-dimming electrochromic glass, integrated compass or Homelink garage openers, emergency assistance buttons, and backup camera displays.
  • Check windshield mounting bracket style (wedge mount vs twist-lock button) and trim cover wiring shroud size.
  • Inspect electrochromic glass for discoloration, perimeter bleeding, or liquid crystal separation, which ruins auto-dimming performance.
  • Match wire harness pin count and plug keying to your vehicle's overhead console harness.
