Market analysis

How much does a used Nissan Altima tailgate cost?

Asking prices for a used Nissan Altima 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, w/o spoiler; rear view, lists at a $800 median, while spoiler, surround view commands $1,176, a 47% 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 $277, while 2020 tops the table at $973. Parts from 2013–2015 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 3 compatible years.

Against comparable vehicles, the Nissan Altima sits 32% below the Ford F250 ($1,100), 74% above the Ford Mustang ($431), and 1% above the Mercedes C Class ($739) 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.
