Why Subaru Legacys Are Worth More at Salvage
The Subaru Legacy is New England’s all-weather champion, and that reputation translates directly into higher salvage value. Every Subaru shop from Maine to Connecticut has customers waiting for affordable OEM Legacy parts.
Legacy engines (EJ25, EZ30, FB25, FA20DIT) are legendary for their reliability and are shared across the entire Subaru lineup. The boxer engine design, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive components, and CVT transmissions are in constant demand. Even a Legacy with blown head gaskets has tremendous parts value in its AWD system, doors, glass, and interior.
Legacy catalytic converters are premium due to the boxer engine design requiring multiple cats and higher precious metal content. A single Legacy can have 2-4 catalytic converters depending on the year, with total values ranging from $300-$1,200+ depending on generation and engine.

Subaru Legacy Generations We Buy
We buy every generation of Subaru Legacy ever made. Here is what we see most and what makes each generation valuable:
7th Generation Legacy
2020 – 2024The newest generation with turbocharged FB25 and FA24 engines. These Legacys command our highest offers due to strong parts demand and limited salvage availability.

Subaru Legacy Curb Weight & Scrap Specs
Scrap value starts with weight. Heavier Legacys 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* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7th Gen | 2020–2024 | 3,620–3,750 lbs | 2.5L FB25, 2.4T FA24 | $300–$450 |
| 6th Gen | 2015–2019 | 3,500–3,680 lbs | 2.5L FB25, 3.6L H6 | $280–$430 |
| 5th Gen | 2010–2014 | 3,410–3,630 lbs | 2.5L EJ25, 3.6L H6 | $270–$420 |
| 4th Gen | 2005–2009 | 3,240–3,480 lbs | 2.5L EJ25, 3.0L H6 | $250–$400 |
| 3rd Gen | 1999–2004 | 3,080–3,350 lbs | 2.5L EJ25, 3.0L H6 | $230–$380 |
| Earlier Gens | 1990–1998 | 2,850–3,180 lbs | 2.2L EJ22, 2.5L EJ25 | $210–$360 |
*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.
H6 Legacys weigh 100–200 lbs more than their 4-cylinder counterparts due to the heavier boxer-6 engine. The aluminum H6 block is a premium recyclable component worth significantly more than steel.
Common Subaru Legacy Problems We See (And Still Buy)
Head Gasket Failure
The infamous Subaru head gasket issue affects 1996-2009 EJ25 engines. When repair costs exceed $3,000, selling becomes the smart choice. The AWD system, transmission, and body still have excellent value.
CVT Transmission Problems
2010+ CVT-equipped Legacys can develop shuddering, slipping, or complete failure between 80K-120K miles. The engine, AWD components, and body panels retain full value even with CVT issues.
Subframe Rust & Corrosion
New England salt attacks Legacy subframes, especially 1995-2009 models. Failed inspection for rust? The drivetrain, interior, and recyclable aluminum still make the car worth selling to us.
Timing Belt/Chain Issues
EJ25 engines need timing belt service every 105K miles. When owners skip maintenance and valves get damaged, repair costs can exceed $4,000. We still pay well for these damaged engines.
Collision Damage
Front-end, rear-end, or rolled over — we buy wrecked Legacys regularly. The AWD system, undamaged body panels, interior, and catalytic converters all retain significant value.
Oil Consumption Issues
FB25 engines (2011-2017) can develop excessive oil consumption due to piston ring problems. When the engine needs rebuilding, the rest of the vehicle still has substantial parts value.

Subaru Legacy Selling FAQ
How much is my Subaru Legacy worth for scrap?
It depends on the generation, condition, and engine type. A non-running 2007 Legacy might bring $300–$800, while a running 2018 could pay $2,000–$6,000+. H6 models consistently pay more due to the valuable aluminum engine. Call (603) 392-7313 for a quote specific to your Legacy — it takes under 2 minutes.
Do H6 Legacys pay more than 4-cylinder models?
Yes, significantly. The H6 Legacy has a heavier, more valuable aluminum engine, more catalytic converters, and unique parts not shared with other Subaru models. Expect $150–$1,000 more for an H6 versus the equivalent 4-cylinder.
My Legacy has blown head gaskets. Is it still worth selling?
Absolutely — head gasket failure is the #1 reason people sell us Legacys. Bad head gaskets don’t affect the value of the AWD system, transmission, body panels, catalytic converters, interior, or scrap metal. We buy head gasket failures daily.
Do you buy Legacy wagons?
Yes. Legacy wagons actually carry a premium because wagon-specific body panels (rear hatch, quarter panels, roof rails) are harder to find than sedan parts. Wagon owners love keeping their vehicles on the road.
What year Legacys are most valuable for salvage?
The 2015–2024 Legacys pay the most because parts demand is highest for these newer models. However, even a 2005 Legacy in decent shape can pay $600–$2,500 depending on condition and engine type.
Can I sell my Legacy 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 Legacy
How much do junkyards pay for a 2010 Subaru Legacy?
A 2010 Subaru Legacy (5th generation) typically pays $600–$1,500 if non-running, $1,000–$3,500 if running with high miles, and up to $5,500 in good condition. The H6 models pay $200–$600 more. At 603 Auto Salvage, we consistently beat competitor offers because Legacy AWD parts are in very high demand. Call (603) 392-7313 for your exact price.
Is it better to sell my Legacy to a junkyard or part it out myself?
Unless you have mechanical skills, tools, storage space, and weeks of free time, selling to a salvage yard is almost always the better choice. Parting out AWD components requires specialized knowledge, and many Legacy parts are heavy/bulky. We pay cash, tow for free, and handle everything — usually same day.
What Subaru Legacy parts are worth the most?
The most valuable Legacy parts are: 1) Engine (EJ25/H6, worth $600–$2,500+), 2) AWD transmission ($500–$1,500), 3) Catalytic converters ($200–$800 total), 4) Doors and fenders ($100–$350 each), 5) Subframe and suspension components ($200–$600), and 6) Interior pieces ($50–$200). These parts sell fast because Legacy owners need affordable OEM replacements for New England driving.
Do you buy Legacys with AWD problems?
Yes. Even if the AWD system is damaged, the engine, transmission (in 2WD mode), body panels, interior, catalytic converters, and scrap metal still have substantial value. AWD issues are expensive to fix but don’t eliminate the car’s salvage worth.
How quickly can you pick up my Subaru Legacy?
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 Legacy Catalytic Converter Scrap Price (2026)
One of the most searched questions about junking a Subaru Legacy is what the catalytic converters are worth. Legacy cats contain platinum, palladium, and rhodium — precious metals that recyclers pay top dollar for. Many Legacys have multiple catalytic converters.
| Legacy Generation | Engine | Cat Configuration | Estimated Total Cat Value* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020–2024 (7th Gen) | 2.5L FB25 / 2.4T | Front + rear cats | $300–$600 |
| 2015–2019 (6th Gen) | 2.5L FB25 / 3.6L H6 | Multiple cats | $250–$700 |
| 2010–2014 (5th Gen) | 2.5L EJ25 / 3.6L H6 | Front + rear cats | $200–$650 |
| 2005–2009 (4th Gen) | 2.5L EJ25 / 3.0L H6 | Front + rear cats | $180–$550 |
| 1999–2004 (3rd Gen) | 2.5L EJ25 / 3.0L H6 | Single or dual | $150–$450 |
| 1990–1998 (Older) | 2.2L EJ22 / 2.5L EJ25 | Single | $100–$300 |
*Catalytic converter values based on current precious metal markets (March 2026). H6 models typically have higher total values due to more cats. 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 converters. Selling the whole Legacy is almost always worth more than parting out the cats alone, because the AWD drivetrain, engine, body panels, and scrap metal add hundreds to thousands of dollars in additional value.
