Why Mitsubishi Eclipse Are Worth More at Salvage
The Mitsubishi Eclipse built a legendary reputation over 22 years of production, especially the turbocharged DSM models from the 1990s. Even though Mitsubishi stopped making the Eclipse in 2012, these sport coupes remain highly sought after by enthusiasts, tuners, and mechanics who need affordable OEM parts.
Eclipse turbo engines (4G63T, 4G64T) are legendary in the tuning world and worth significant money even when the car doesn’t run. The AWD models (GSX, GST) are especially valuable because those drivetrain components are shared across the Galant VR4, 3000GT, and Lancer Evo platforms. Even the naturally aspirated 420A and 6G72 V6 engines have strong demand.
Eclipse parts are becoming harder to find as these cars age out, which means higher prices for good used components. Body panels, interior pieces, turbos, transmissions, and performance parts all command premium pricing in today’s market.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Curb Weight & Scrap Specs
Scrap value starts with weight. Here are the curb weights by generation and drivetrain:
| Generation | Years | Curb Weight | Engine Options | Approx. Scrap Metal Value* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4th Gen | 2006–2012 | 3,186–3,472 lbs | 2.4L MIVEC, 3.8L V6 | $240–$390 |
| 3rd Gen | 2000–2005 | 3,055–3,307 lbs | 2.4L, 3.0L V6 | $230–$375 |
| 2nd Gen DSM | 1995–1999 | 2,900–3,263 lbs | 420A, 4G63T, 4G64 | $220–$365 |
| 1st Gen DSM | 1990–1994 | 2,570–3,065 lbs | 4G37, 4G63, 4G63T | $195–$345 |
*Scrap metal value based on current mixed auto body scrap rates (~$150–$220/ton, March 2026). AWD models weigh ~150-200 lbs more than FWD. Our offers include parts value, which is significantly higher than scrap metal alone.
Eclipse turbo models typically weigh more due to the intercooler, turbo plumbing, and reinforced drivetrain components. The AWD transfer case and rear differential add substantial weight and recyclable metal value.
Common Mitsubishi Eclipse Problems We See (And Still Buy)
Crank Walk (DSM Turbo)
The infamous 4G63T crank walk issue that destroys turbo engines. When the repair cost exceeds $3,000+, that’s when you call us. We still pay well for the turbo, transmission, and AWD components.
Rust & Body Deterioration
New England salt destroys Eclipse body panels, especially rear quarter panels and wheel wells. Failed inspection for rust? The drivetrain, interior, and recyclable metal still have significant value.
Transmission Failure
Both manual and automatic transmissions fail in high-mileage Eclipse models. Manual gearbox synchros wear out, automatics slip and burn. The engine and other parts maintain their value regardless.
Timing Belt Failure
Interference engines mean timing belt failure equals bent valves and expensive repairs. When the rebuild quote is $2,500+, selling to us makes more sense. We buy these “blown engines” regularly.
Electrical Issues
DSM models are notorious for electrical gremlins: ECU failures, wiring harness issues, alternator problems. These electrical headaches make the car unreliable but don’t significantly reduce parts value.
Collision Damage
Front-end, rear-end, or side impact damage. Eclipse are performance cars that sometimes meet unfortunate ends. The undamaged portions, drivetrain, and performance parts all retain value for enthusiasts.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Selling FAQ
How much is my Mitsubishi Eclipse worth for scrap?
It depends on the generation, turbo/NA, and condition. A non-running 2002 Eclipse GS might bring $300–$1,000, while a running 1995 GSX could pay $3,000–$6,000+. DSM turbo AWD models consistently pay the most due to enthusiast demand. Call (603) 392-7313 for a quote specific to your Eclipse.
Do DSM Eclipse pay more than newer generations?
It depends on the specific model. A clean 4th gen (2006-2012) V6 might pay more than a rusty 1st gen base model, but a turbo AWD DSM will often command the highest prices due to their cult following and parts scarcity.
My Eclipse has crank walk. Is it still worth selling?
Absolutely. Crank walk is a common DSM issue that makes rebuilding uneconomical. However, the turbo, intercooler, transmission, transfer case, ECU, and body panels all retain significant value for other Eclipse owners.
Do you buy Eclipse convertibles (Spyder)?
Yes. Eclipse Spyders actually carry a premium because convertible-specific parts (top mechanism, reinforcement panels, interior trim) are harder to find than coupe parts. If you have a convertible Eclipse, we want it.
What makes turbo Eclipse worth more?
Turbo Eclipse have the legendary 4G63T engine, larger brakes, upgraded cooling systems, and performance parts that naturally aspirated models lack. The turbo assembly alone can be worth $300–$800+, and the complete drivetrain is highly sought after by the tuning community.
Can I sell my Eclipse without a title?
In many cases, yes. If you have a valid registration, proof of ownership, or can get a duplicate title from the NH DMV, we can usually complete the purchase. Call us and we’ll walk you through the options for your specific situation.
More Questions About Selling Your Eclipse
How much do junkyards pay for a 1995 Eclipse GSX?
A 1995 Eclipse GSX (turbo AWD) is one of the most valuable Eclipse variants. Non-running examples typically pay $800–$2,500, running high-mileage cars $2,000–$5,000, and good condition examples can command $4,000–$8,000+. At 603 Auto Salvage, we understand DSM values and consistently beat competitor offers. Call (603) 392-7313 for your exact price.
Is it better to sell my Eclipse to a junkyard or part it out myself?
Unless you’re deeply familiar with DSM parts values, have storage space, and weeks of free time, selling to a salvage yard is usually the better choice. Eclipse enthusiasts are particular about parts condition, and selling individual components means dealing with dozens of buyers. We pay fair market value and handle everything — usually same day.
What Eclipse parts are worth the most money?
The most valuable Eclipse parts are: 1) 4G63T turbo engine ($800–$3,000+), 2) AWD transfer case and rear diff ($400–$1,200), 3) Manual transmission ($300–$800), 4) Turbo assembly and intercooler ($200–$600), 5) ECU and wiring harness ($150–$400), and 6) Clean body panels ($50–$300 each). Performance parts and rare trim pieces also command premium prices.
Do you buy non-turbo Eclipse models?
Yes. While turbo models command higher prices, naturally aspirated Eclipse still have significant value. The 420A, 4G64, and 6G72 V6 engines are reliable and sought after. Body panels, interior components, suspension parts, and scrap metal value make every Eclipse worth buying.
How quickly can you pick up my Eclipse?
Usually same day or next business day. We operate our own fleet of tow trucks covering all of New Hampshire, northeastern Massachusetts, and southern Maine. No third-party carriers, no delays. Eclipse are a priority pickup due to parts demand.
Mitsubishi Eclipse Catalytic Converter Scrap Price (2026)
Eclipse catalytic converters contain platinum, palladium, and rhodium. Values vary significantly by generation and engine type.
| Eclipse Generation | Engine | Cat Type | Estimated Cat Value* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2006–2012 (4th Gen) | 2.4L MIVEC / 3.8L V6 | Close-coupled | $180–$450 |
| 2000–2005 (3rd Gen) | 2.4L / 3.0L V6 | Underfloor | $150–$400 |
| 1995–1999 (2nd DSM) | 420A / 4G63T / 4G64 | Single | $120–$350 |
| 1990–1994 (1st DSM) | 4G37 / 4G63 / 4G63T | Single | $100–$300 |
*Catalytic converter values based on current precious metal markets (March 2026). Turbo models may have different cat configurations. Prices fluctuate with platinum, palladium, and rhodium spot prices. These values are factored into your total cash offer.
Important: We buy the entire vehicle, not just the catalytic converter. Selling the whole Eclipse is almost always worth more than parting out individual components, especially when you factor in the engine, transmission, performance parts, and scrap metal value.
