What affects its junk value

  • Age: at 15 years old, most of a 2011 MDX's value comes from reusable parts and scrap metal, not resale.
  • Weight: NHTSA's crash-test 2011 MDX weighed 4,565 lb at curb weight. Scrap value is largely priced by weight, so this is a good starting point. See how scrap prices by weight work.
  • Catalytic converter: like all gas and diesel cars, it has a catalytic converter containing precious metals, one of the most valuable parts on a junk car. An offer assumes it's still in place. More on catalytic converters.
  • Known problems: owners reported the most issues with the engine, typically around 92,000 miles. If that's what failed on yours, it can still be sold as-is.
