What affects its junk value
- Age: at 12 years old, most of a 2014 Maxima's value comes from reusable parts and scrap metal, not resale.
- Weight: NHTSA's crash-test 2014 Maxima weighed 3,546 lb at curb weight. Scrap value is largely priced by weight, so this is a good starting point. 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.
- Known problems: owners reported the most issues with the air bags, typically around 37,000 miles. If that's what failed on yours, it can still be sold as-is.
