• Just wondering what you would expect to pay for this tailgate. Everything works perfect. Slight cup to the inside, outside has that one surface rust spot, not bad yet though. I'm trying to make a decision on it and could use some help. Thanks!

• If I were looking for one, I'd have no problem paying $150-200 for that. Maybe even more since my caddy is white.

• I thought tailgates were going for $400 or so? Not anymore? I ended up paying $200 for it so that's still a good deal but I thought I stole that dang thing.

  If they have any sort of bow, you're under $250. Dents and rust bring it down from there. Nice OEM used ones (no dents or bows) fetch about $300-500. NOS ones are still floating out there in the $700+ range.

  Good to know. I think I'll keep it and just re-paint it when I get around to fixing up the body, after the TD swap
