What affects its junk value

  • Age: at 26 years old, most of a 2000 Savana's value comes from reusable parts and scrap metal, not resale.
  • Weight: as a van, it's heavier than a typical car, and scrap weight is a big part of any junk offer. 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 2 recalls for the 2000 Savana. Open recalls don't stop you from selling or junking it.
  • Known problems: owners reported the most issues with the service brakes, hydraulic, typically around 61,000 miles. If that's what failed on yours, it can still be sold as-is.

Power TrainJan 2005 · NHTSA campaign 05V005000

Some pickup trucks, vans, and sport utility vehicles equipped with a hydraulic pump driveshaft that can fracture, resulting in immediate loss of hydraulic power steering assist. On certain vehicles equipped with hydro-boost power brakes, the same condition can result in loss of power assist for braking after the reserve pressure is…

Risk: An inoperative pump can cause increased steering effort, and in hydro-boost equipped vehicles also increased braking effort, but does not completely eliminate the ability to steer or slow the vehicle.

SteeringMar 2000 · NHTSA campaign 00V085000

Vehicle description: passenger vans equipped with a brake warning indicator. Some of these vehicles have a power steering cooler hose that can separate from the power brake booster fluid flow switch assembly.

Risk: If this occurs, power steering fluid could flow onto hot engine parts and an engine compartment fire could occur.
