Where the Kia Forte hood is listed
We found priced Kia Forte hood listings at 123 salvage yards across 13 states. California supplies the most, with 102 listings (17% of the total) from 24 yards. Location matters: yards in Illinois ask a median $300, while Arizona yards ask $681, 127% more for the same part. Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Market analysis
How much does a used Kia Forte hood cost?
Asking prices for a used Kia Forte hood 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, Sedan, lists at a $544 median, while Hatchback commands $900, a 65% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $160, while 2022 tops the table at $681. Parts from 2014–2017 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 4 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Kia Forte sits 46% below the Chevy Camaro ($838), 54% below the Mercedes E Class ($980), and 47% below the Mini Cooper ($852) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used hood: what to check
- Check for corrosion along the front lip and underside seams, the first place hoods rust.
- Aluminum hoods dent easily in storage; ask for current photos before shipping.
- Confirm hinge and latch compatibility; some facelift years moved mounting points.
- A straight, same-color hood saves $300+ in paint work. Verify the paint code.
