Market analysis

How much does a used Subaru Crosstrek tailgate cost?

Asking prices for a used Subaru Crosstrek 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, (rear view camera), Japan built, lists at a $1,124 median, while (rear view camera), US built commands $1,200, a 7% 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 $328, while 2024 tops the table at $1,225. Parts from 2012–2017 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 6 compatible years.

Against comparable vehicles, the Subaru Crosstrek sits 40% below the Ford F250 ($1,100), 53% above the Ford Mustang ($431), and 11% below 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.
