2013 Tailgate

Recently wrecked my tailgate.
Where’s a good place to find a replacement cheap?

Silver is perferred.
I have the backup camera handle. Just need aluminum and plastic parts.

 

Craigslist

 

This ^ maybe stolen,but who knows.

 

I looked for about 10 months for a nice speedway blue tailgate. I finally gave up and bought new OEM and had a body shop paint it. Nice white tailgates are fairly common as new take offs. They go for about $500. Silver is more common than other colors, but regardless, you will find that wrecking yards are full of tailgates with "2 hours damage", for $400 or more. The bottom line is that unless you get REALLY lucky searching Craigslist, you're not going to find a 2nd gen tailgate for cheap.

 

Do any other gen tailgates fit?

 

There’s no link..?

 

No

 

Welcome to the forum. Start searching www.car-part.com

 

He was meaning that some tailgates on Craigslist might be stolen. If the guy wants to meet you in Walmart parking lot in a beat to hell Nissan Sentra, that's a bad sign.

 

@SL_O Here's 1 for you. A little bit of a drive, but if you can talk them down on price a bit, it might be worth it.

Junkyard is probably a good bet.
