Market analysis
How much does a used Subaru Forester grille cost?
Asking prices for a used Subaru Forester grille 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, lower, ends (bumper mounted), body colored bumper, RH, lists at a $97 median, while lower, ends (bumper mounted), body colored bumper, LH commands $584, a 502% 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 $133, while 2025 tops the table at $375. Parts from 2014–2016 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 3 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Subaru Forester sits 44% below the Ram 1500 ($340), 62% above the Honda Civic ($117), and 45% above the Toyota 4Runner ($131) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used grille: what to check
- Check every mounting tab. Grilles are almost always removed by breaking at least one.
- Confirm sensor and camera provisions for adaptive cruise trims.
- Chrome versus painted versions of the same grille price very differently.
- Ask for photos in direct light to spot fading and stone chips.
