Model year matters too: 2017 units carry the lowest median at $280, while 2025 tops the table at $510. Parts from 2015–2017 are interchangeable, so if the 2017 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 3 compatible years.

Buying a used rear bumper: what to check
- Inspect for previous repair filler. Thick paint or ripples signal a prior hit.
- Verify sensor cutouts match your trim's park-assist configuration.
- Confirm the paint code if you want to skip repainting.
- Check that the yard includes mounting hardware; clips are often broken during removal.
