What affects its junk value

  • Age: at 17 years old, most of a 2009 Expedition's value comes from reusable parts and scrap metal, not resale.
  • Weight: NHTSA's crash-test 2009 Expedition weighed 4,890 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.
  • Recalls: NHTSA lists 1 recall for the 2009 Expedition. Open recalls don't stop you from selling or junking it.
  • Known problems: owners reported the most issues with the electrical system, typically around 66,000 miles. If that's what failed on yours, it can still be sold as-is.

Selling a 2009 Expedition: questions

How much is a 2009 Ford Expedition worth for junk?

Yes. We buy 2009 Expeditions that don't start, were in an accident, failed inspection or have a blown engine or transmission. Towing is always free.

Can I sell a 2009 Expedition with open recalls?
