Why Subaru Imprezas Are Worth More at Salvage
The Subaru Impreza is the foundation of Subaru’s entire lineup, and that platform sharing is exactly why your Impreza is worth more than you think at salvage. Every mechanic shop in New England has customers looking for affordable OEM Impreza parts, especially for older models that are becoming harder to find.
Impreza engines (the EJ and FB series) are legendary for their reliability and unique boxer configuration. Transmissions, all-wheel-drive components, catalytic converters, body panels, and electronic modules — every component has strong demand. The WRX and STi variants are especially valuable because performance enthusiasts pay premium prices for OEM parts.
Impreza catalytic converters contain concentrated platinum, palladium, and rhodium. The AWD system means dual cats on many models, which increases scrap value. Depending on the year and engine, Impreza catalytic converters can be worth $200–$800+ combined. That premium gets factored directly into your cash offer.

Subaru Impreza Curb Weight & Scrap Specs
Scrap value starts with weight. Heavier Imprezas mean more steel, more aluminum, and a higher base price before parts are even factored in. Here are the curb weights by generation:
| Generation | Years | Curb Weight (Sedan) | Engine Options | Approx. Scrap Metal Value* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5th Gen | 2017–2024 | 3,117–3,285 lbs | FB20, FB25 | $240–$380 |
| 4th Gen | 2012–2016 | 2,956–3,230 lbs | FB20, FB25 | $220–$360 |
| 3rd Gen | 2008–2011 | 2,965–3,395 lbs | EJ253, EJ255 | $220–$380 |
| 2nd Gen | 2001–2007 | 2,535–3,263 lbs | EJ251, EJ255, EJ257 | $190–$360 |
| 1st Gen | 1993–2001 | 2,315–2,975 lbs | EJ18, EJ20, EJ22, EJ25 | $170–$330 |
*Scrap metal value based on current mixed auto body scrap rates (~$150–$220/ton, March 2026). Actual scrap-only value varies by region and market. Our offers include parts value, which is significantly higher than scrap metal alone.
All Imprezas come standard with all-wheel drive, which adds weight and complexity compared to front-wheel drive competitors. The AWD system components (transfer case, rear differential, drive shafts) are valuable recyclable parts worth $200–$800+ depending on condition and model year.
Common Subaru Impreza Problems We See (And Still Buy)
Head Gasket Failure (EJ Engines)
The #1 reason owners sell us their older Imprezas. The EJ series engines (1990s–2011) are prone to external head gasket leaks between 80K–150K miles. The repair often costs more than the car’s value.
CVT Transmission Issues
2012+ Imprezas with Lineartronic CVT can develop jerking, slipping, or whining. When the CVT repair estimate hits $4,000+, that’s when smart owners call us instead.
Excessive Oil Consumption
Both EJ and FB engines can develop oil consumption issues, especially after 100K miles. If your Impreza is burning 1 quart every 1,000 miles and needs constant top-offs, we’ll buy it.
Rust & Corrosion
New England salt destroys Impreza body panels, especially around wheel wells, rocker panels, and rear quarter panels. Failed inspection for rust? We buy these weekly. The AWD system still has value.
Timing Belt Failure (EJ Engines)
EJ engines use interference timing belts that destroy the engine if they snap. Bent valves, damaged pistons — the repair can exceed $3,000. We buy these “blown motor” Imprezas regularly.
Wheel Bearing & Suspension Wear
Impreza wheel bearings and struts wear quickly, especially in AWD applications. When the repair list includes bearings, struts, ball joints, and CV joints, selling whole makes more sense.

Subaru Impreza Selling FAQ
How much is my Subaru Impreza worth for scrap?
It depends on the generation, condition, and trim level. A non-running 2005 Impreza RS might bring $400–$1,000, while a running 2018 Sport could pay $4,000–$6,000+. WRX and STi models consistently pay significantly more due to performance parts demand. Call (603) 392-7313 for a quote specific to your Impreza — it takes under 2 minutes.
Do WRX and STi Imprezas pay more than base models?
Yes, significantly. WRX and STi models have turbo engines, performance transmissions, bigger brakes, and sport-tuned suspension that performance enthusiasts pay premium prices for. Expect $500–$4,000+ more for a WRX/STi versus a base Impreza in similar condition.
My Impreza has a blown head gasket. Is it still worth selling?
Absolutely — this is the most common reason people sell us Imprezas. A blown head gasket doesn’t affect the value of the transmission, AWD system, body panels, catalytic converter, interior, or scrap metal. We buy head gasket failure Imprezas every single week.
Do you buy Impreza wagons and hatchbacks?
Yes. Impreza wagons and hatchbacks actually carry a small premium because wagon-specific body panels (rear hatch, cargo area trim, side glass) are harder to find than sedan parts. Wagon enthusiasts actively seek these parts.
What year Imprezas are most valuable for salvage?
The 2017–2024 models pay the most because parts demand is highest and salvage supply is still limited. However, even a 2002 WRX in poor condition can pay $1,500–$3,000+ due to enthusiast demand. Every generation has value.
Can I sell my Impreza 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 Impreza
How much do junkyards pay for a 2010 Subaru Impreza?
A 2010 Subaru Impreza (3rd generation) typically pays $600–$1,500 if non-running, $1,200–$3,500 if running with high miles, and up to $5,000 in good condition. Manual transmission models pay $200–$400 more. At 603 Auto Salvage, we consistently beat competitor offers because 2010 Impreza parts are in high demand for head gasket repairs and collision work. Call (603) 392-7313 for your exact price.
Is it better to sell my Impreza to a junkyard or part it out myself?
Unless you have mechanical knowledge, tools, storage space, and weeks of free time, selling to a salvage yard is almost always the better choice. Parting out a Subaru means dealing with specialty buyers, shipping AWD components, and having a stripped shell left over. We pay cash, tow for free, and handle everything — usually same day. The convenience almost always outweighs potential extra profit.
What Subaru Impreza parts are worth the most?
The most valuable Impreza parts are: 1) Engine (EJ/FB series, worth $800–$3,000+), 2) Manual transmission ($500–$1,500+), 3) AWD components ($300–$800), 4) Catalytic converter ($200–$800+), 5) Turbo and performance parts ($200–$1,000+), and 6) Body panels ($75–$300 each). These parts sell quickly because Subaru owners prefer OEM parts for repairs.
Do you buy automatic transmission Imprezas?
Yes. While manual transmission Imprezas carry a small premium, automatic models still have full value from the engine, AWD system, body panels, and other components. CVT problems are common but don’t significantly reduce overall vehicle value since most buyers are after engines and AWD parts.
How quickly can you pick up my Subaru Impreza?
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. Call before noon and there’s a good chance we’re at your door by end of day.
Subaru Impreza Catalytic Converter Scrap Price (2026)
One of the most searched questions about junking a Subaru Impreza is what the catalytic converter is worth. Impreza catalytic converters contain platinum, palladium, and rhodium — precious metals that recyclers pay top dollar for. AWD models often have dual cats, increasing total value.
| Impreza Generation | Engine | Cat Configuration | Estimated Cat Value* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2017–2024 (5th Gen) | FB20 / FB25 | Dual front cats | $300–$600 |
| 2012–2016 (4th Gen) | FB20 / FB25 | Single front + rear | $250–$500 |
| 2008–2011 (3rd Gen) | EJ253 / EJ255 | Single or dual | $200–$600 |
| 2001–2007 (2nd Gen) | EJ251 / EJ255 / EJ257 | Single (WRX/STi may have 2) | $180–$800+ |
| 1993–2001 (1st Gen) | EJ18 / EJ20 / EJ22 / EJ25 | Single | $100–$400 |
| Turbo Models (WRX/STi) | All turbo engines | May have up/downstream | +$100–$400 |
*Catalytic converter values based on current precious metal markets (March 2026). WRX/STi and AWD models with dual cats can be worth significantly more. Prices fluctuate with platinum, palladium, and rhodium spot prices. These values are factored into your total cash offer — you don’t need to remove the cats yourself.
Important: We buy the entire vehicle, not just the catalytic converter. Selling the whole Impreza is almost always worth more than parting out the cats alone, because the engine, AWD system, body panels, and scrap metal add hundreds to thousands of dollars in additional value.
