What affects its junk value

  • Age: at 31 years old, most of a 1995 Crown Victoria's value comes from reusable parts and scrap metal, not resale.
  • Weight: as a full-size car, it weighs less than a truck or SUV, so its value leans more on parts than on scrap weight. 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.
  • Recalls: NHTSA lists 8 recalls for the 1995 Crown Victoria. Open recalls don't stop you from selling or junking it.
  • Known problems: owners reported the most issues with the steering, typically around 70,000 miles. If that's what failed on yours, it can still be sold as-is.

Vehicle Speed ControlAug 2007 · NHTSA campaign 07V336000

On certain pickup trucks, passenger vehicles, sport utility vehicles, and motor homes chassis, the speed control deactivation switch may, under certain conditions, leak internally and then overheat, smoke, or burn.

Vehicle description: police and taxi vehicles. The hood latch striker can wear or become detached from the hood.

Risk: Either of these conditions can result in the hood opening without warning while the vehicle is being operated impairing the driver's visibility.

SteeringJul 1996 · NHTSA campaign 96V135000

The pitman arms were not fully lubricated at the assembly plant. The "ball joint" at the outer end of the pitman arm can become contaminated and corrode.

The rivets holding the rear outboard belt d-rings were not heat treated properly causing the heads of the rivets to fracture under load and fail to hold the d-rings to the straps. This does not conform to the requirements of fmvss no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages."

Risk: Consequence of non-compliance: this condition can reduce the restraining capabilities of the safety belt in the event of an accident.
