What affects its junk value
- Age: at 14 years old, most of a 2012 Tribeca's value comes from reusable parts and scrap metal, not resale.
- Weight: as a SUV, 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.

Selling a 2012 Tribeca: questions
How much is a 2012 Subaru Tribeca worth for junk?
