Market analysis

How much does a used Buick Regal tailgate cost?

Asking prices for a used Buick Regal tailgate 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, Hatchback (Sportback), w/o spoiler, lists at a $525 median, while Wagon commands $650, a 24% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.

Model year matters too: 2017 units carry the lowest median at $198, while 2018 tops the table at $600. Parts from 2014–2017 are interchangeable, so if the 2017 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 4 compatible years.

Against comparable vehicles, the Buick Regal sits 14% below the Ford Mustang ($431), 50% below the Mercedes C Class ($739), and 7% below the Chevy Camaro ($400) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.

Buying a used tailgate: what to check

  1. Inspect bottom lip seam for hidden rust: Examine inner bottom hem flanges and drain slots for hidden bubbling rust beneath seam-sealer rubber.
  2. Verify power liftgate motor and latch inclusion: Check whether automatic power trunk latches, cinch motors, and liftgate struts are included with the shell.
  3. Check camera mount and handle bezel fitment: Verify license plate light bezels, backup camera mounts, and keyless entry release buttons match your trim.
  4. Confirm heated glass defroster grid continuity: Examine rear window defroster line traces for scratches, broken grid lines, or snapped wire terminal tabs.
  5. Adjust hinge shims and striker for proper alignment: Align tailgate hinges and latch strikers carefully to maintain uniform body gaps and weatherstrip seals.
