Market analysis
Asking prices for a used Volkswagen Passat rear bumper are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten 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, w/o park assist, lists at a $378 median, while park assist commands $610, a 61% 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 $200, while 2020 tops the table at $400. Parts from 2012–2015 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 4 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Volkswagen Passat sits 20% above the Jeep Grand Cherokee ($245), 30% above the Ford Explorer ($227), and 13% above the Ford Edge ($262) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
