Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.

Model year matters too: 2019 units carry the lowest median at $320, while 2020 tops the table at $771. Parts from 2015–2018 are interchangeable, so if the 2019 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 4 compatible years.

Buying a used rear bumper assembly: what to check

  1. Inspect internal reinforcement bar structure: Examine the inner metal crash bar for buckled steel, crushed crumple brackets, or hidden impact cracks behind the plastic shell.
  2. Verify sensor and blind-spot cutout options: Ensure the cover features the exact parking sensor hole count and internal blind-spot radar bracket mounts required by your trim.
  3. Check outer mounting tabs and guide slots: Broken fender-side attachment eyelets or torn diffuser clips will cause sagging body lines and uneven bumper gaps.
  4. Ask about intact wiring harness inclusion: Buying an assembly with the factory license plate light wiring and rear sensor harness intact saves tedious splicing time.
  5. Match exhaust tip cutout geometry: Single-outlet and dual-outlet bumper cutouts differ between engine options, so verify your tailpipe configuration before buying.
