What affects its junk value

  • Age: at 10 years old, a 2016 B-Class is newer than most junk cars, so working parts like the engine, transmission and body panels are in demand from rebuilders and parts buyers.
  • Weight: as a midsize 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.
  • Battery: electric cars have no catalytic converter, but the high-voltage battery pack is valuable to recyclers and rebuilders.
  • Known problems: owners reported the most issues with the engine. If that's what failed on yours, it can still be sold as-is.
