Where the Subaru Forester front bumper is listed

Market analysis
How much does a used Subaru Forester front bumper cost?
Asking prices for a used Subaru Forester front bumper are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 6 times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 2 piece bumper cover, upper, lists at a $305 median, while 1 piece bumper cover (Wilderness) commands $320, a 5% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $165, while 2025 tops the table at $305. Parts from 2014–2018 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 5 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Subaru Forester sits 28% below the Ford Explorer ($290), 74% above the Toyota RAV4 ($120), and 18% below the Jeep Grand Cherokee ($254) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used front bumper: what to check
- Check the mounting tabs. Cracked tabs are the most common hidden defect on used bumper covers.
- Color-matched covers save paint costs, but verify the paint code, not just the color name.
- Ask about sensor and camera cutouts. Park-assist variants differ from base covers.
- Factor in paint and blend costs if the cover arrives in a different color.
