Market analysis

How much does a used Subaru Impreza tailgate cost?

Asking prices for a used Subaru Impreza 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.

Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $273, while 2025 tops the table at $1,226. Parts from 2012–2016 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 5 compatible years.

Against comparable vehicles, the Subaru Impreza sits 61% below the Ford F250 ($1,100), level with the Ford Mustang ($431), and 42% 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.
