What affects its junk value

  • Age: at 31 years old, most of a 1995 Continental'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 1 recall for the 1995 Continental. Open recalls don't stop you from selling or junking it.
  • Known problems: owners reported the most issues with the exterior lighting. If that's what failed on yours, it can still be sold as-is.

How junk car offers are calculated

1995 Lincoln Continental recalls

NHTSA lists 1 safety recall covering the 1995 Lincoln Continental. 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.

Exterior LightingJan 1996 · NHTSA campaign 96V009000

A defective control module in the "autolamp" system can malfunction. If the "autolamp" system is being used to activate the exterior light (including headlamps), the headlamps could shut off without warning. This will not occur if the exterior lighting is turned on manually by the headlight switch.

Risk: If the headlamps shut off while the vehicle is driven, driver visibility would be impaired increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
