What affects its junk value

  • Age: at 9 years old, a 2017 Silverado is newer than most junk cars, so working parts like the engine, transmission and body panels are in demand from rebuilders and parts buyers.
  • Weight: NHTSA's crash-test 2017 Silverado weighed 5,262–5,540 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.
  • Hybrid battery: hybrid versions also carry a high-voltage battery pack, which recyclers and rebuilders pay for.
  • Recalls: NHTSA lists 7 recalls for the 2017 Silverado. Open recalls don't stop you from selling or junking it.
  • Known problems: owners reported the most issues with the power train, typically around 47,000 miles. If that's what failed on yours, it can still be sold as-is.

2017 Chevrolet Silverado recalls

NHTSA lists 7 safety recalls covering the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado. Open recalls don't stop you from selling or junking the car, but check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see which apply to yours.

The left-side or right-side roof rail air bag (RRAB) inflator end cap may detach from the inflator or the inflator sidewall may rupture.
