What affects its junk value
- Age: at 30 years old, most of a 1996 Hardbody Pickup's value comes from reusable parts and scrap metal, not resale.
- Weight: as a pickup truck, 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.
