What affects its junk value

Age: at 26 years old, most of a 2000 Civic's value comes from reusable parts and scrap metal, not resale.
Weight: as a small 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 6 recalls for the 2000 Civic. Open recalls don't stop you from selling or junking it.
Known problems: owners reported the most issues with the air bags, typically around 59,000 miles. If that's what failed on yours, it can still be sold as-is.

Fuel System, OtherNov 2007 · NHTSA campaign 07V512000

On certain compressed natural gas (cng) vehicles, in the event of a severe interior fire in the area of the rear seat, the cng tank may be heated unevenly, preventing the pressure relief device from venting the contents of the tank as designed.

Electrical SystemMay 2002 · NHTSA campaign 02V120000

On certain sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, and sport utility vehicles, electrical contacts in the ignition switch can degrade due to the high electrical current passing through the switch when the vehicle is started.

Certain sedans and coupes fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 209, "seat belt assemblies." certain rear seat belt buckles were improperly manufactured.
