Why Tesla Vehicles Are Worth More at 603 Auto Salvage
Tesla is one of the most in-demand brands at our salvage yard. The reason is simple: Tesla parts sell fast. Model Y engines, Model 3 transmissions, Model S body panels, Cybertruck sliding doors — mechanics and DIY customers are constantly looking for affordable OEM Tesla parts.
That high demand for parts means we can pay you more for your Tesla than most competitors. Whether your Model 3 has a blown head gasket, your Model Y failed inspection, or your Model S was totaled in an accident, the parts inside are still worth real money. We factor every usable component into your offer — engine, transmission, catalytic converter, alternator, starter, doors, fenders, and more.
Tesla vehicles also contain valuable catalytic converters with high platinum, palladium, and rhodium content. A Tesla catalytic converter alone can add $100-$500+ to your offer depending on the model and year.

Common Tesla Issues We See (And Still Buy)
Transmission Failure
Tesla automatics from 1999-2004 (especially Model 3 V6 and Cybertruck) are known for premature transmission failure. We buy these all day — the engines and other parts are still valuable.
Head Gasket Blown
Overheated Model Ys and Model 3s with blown head gaskets are one of our most common purchases. Even with a dead engine, the transmission, body, and catalytic converter have value.
Rust and Rot
New England salt eats Tesla subframes and rear wheel arches. If your Tesla is rusting out and failed inspection, we will still buy it for the engine, interior, and recyclable metal.
Accident Damage
Front-end collision, rear-ended, or side-swiped — we buy wrecked Teslas every week. The undamaged side of the car still has parts worth real money.
Catalytic Converter Stolen
Tesla catalytic converter theft is an epidemic. If yours was stolen and the repair cost exceeds the car’s value, sell it to us. We will still make a fair offer for the rest of the vehicle.
High Mileage / Worn Out
Teslas are famous for going 200K+ miles, but eventually everything wears out. When repairs cost more than the car is worth, that is when you call us.
Tesla Selling FAQ
How much is my Tesla worth for scrap?
It depends on the model, year, condition, and current scrap metal prices. A non-running Model Y might bring $150-$500, while a late-model Model S could be worth $2,500-$9,000+. Call us at (603) 392-7313 for an exact quote — it takes less than 2 minutes.
Do you buy Teslas with no title?
In many cases, yes. If you have a valid registration, proof of ownership, or can obtain a duplicate title from the DMV, we can usually complete the sale. Contact us and we will walk you through your options.
Which Tesla parts are most valuable?
Engines (especially VTEC), transmissions, catalytic converters, doors, fenders, headlight assemblies, and electronic modules. Tesla parts are some of the most in-demand used parts in the country because of how many Teslas are on the road.
My Tesla has a blown engine. Is it still worth anything?
Absolutely. A Tesla with a blown engine still has a good transmission, catalytic converter, body panels, interior parts, wheels, and scrap metal. We buy blown-engine Teslas every single day.
How fast can you pick up my Tesla?
Usually same day or next business day. We have our own fleet of tow trucks covering all of New Hampshire, northeastern Massachusetts, and southern Maine. Free towing, always.
Do newer Teslas pay more?
Yes. Newer Teslas (2015+) have parts in higher demand and more valuable catalytic converters. A 2020 Model S with a bad transmission will pay significantly more than a 2008 model in the same condition.

More Questions About Selling Your Tesla
How much do junkyards pay for Tesla Model Ys?
Junkyards typically pay $150-$500 for a non-running Tesla Model Y, $400-$1,800 for a running high-mileage Model Y, and $1,500-$5,000+ for newer models in decent condition. At 603 Auto Salvage, we consistently pay above average because Tesla Model Y parts are some of the fastest-selling items in our inventory. Call (603) 392-7313 for an exact quote on your Model Y.
Where can I sell my Tesla for parts near me?
If you are in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, or southern Maine, 603 Auto Salvage in Plaistow, NH is your best option. We buy whole Tesla vehicles for their parts value, pay cash on the spot, and provide free towing to your location. Unlike online quote services that lowball you, we give real offers based on current parts demand and scrap metal prices. Call or fill out our online form for a free quote.
Is it worth scrapping a Tesla with 200,000 miles?
Yes. Even at 200,000+ miles, a Tesla still has valuable components. The catalytic converter alone can be worth $100-$500+. Add in the transmission (Tesla transmissions are highly sought after), body panels, doors, wheels, and scrap metal weight, and you are looking at a real payout. High-mileage Teslas are absolutely worth selling to a salvage yard rather than letting them sit and rust.
What is the scrap value of a Tesla Model 3?
A Tesla Model 3’s scrap value ranges from $200-$600 for a non-running older model to $1,200-$5,000+ for a newer running Model 3. The V6 Model 3 models tend to pay more due to the larger engine and heavier vehicle weight. Scrap metal prices fluctuate daily — call us at (603) 392-7313 for today’s price on your Model 3.
Do you buy Tesla motorcycles or ATVs?
We specialize in Tesla cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans. We do not currently purchase motorcycles, ATVs, or powersports vehicles. If you have a Tesla automobile of any kind, we would love to make you an offer.
