Price range for rear-end module (tailgate/powertrunk)?

[lalalatv]

Dear all,

I am trying to find-out the price of rear-end module (powertrunk/tailgate part) in a very rough range.
I understand that the module price varies a lot by car options, class, and types.

Since I have absolutely no idea whether OEMs pay for this rear-end module costs $1,000 vs. $100 vs. $10, I just need a very rough ballpark range of average price (price that OEM pays to module suppliers).

I have attached the images of rear-end module I'm asking about.

Not sure I understand what you're asking ? Are you asking the cost of the entire rear body unit as depicted in your illustration ? If so , the car manufacturers don't buy this as a unit . The individual pieces are stamped from raw steel , put into jigs , and then spot welded together at the factory as a part of the production process . The factory does not build these units for outside sales , only for use on their production lines . To buy the entire unit as shown would require you to go to an appropriate salvage yard having such a unit available . They would then do whatever is necessary to provide the needed unit and load it onto your provided transport for shipment . Not sure if this answers your question ? Good luck !
