Honda Fit Junk Car Value: Scrap Price by Year
A junk Honda Fit is worth about $125–$310 as scrap in late 2026, depending on model year and trim. EPA test data puts its curb weight at 2,450–2,700 lb across 2007–2020; a 2020 weighs about 2,600–2,650 lb ($130–$305). CarWhere estimate tied to the USGS scrap-steel benchmark.

Junk Honda Fit value by model year
Weight ranges cover the Honda Fit configurations the EPA tested in each year (engine, drive and body), so a base trim sits near the low end and a loaded 4WD or long-wheelbase version near the high end.

What moves the price of a junk Honda Fit
Weight sets the floor. The Honda Fit's tested weights span about 250 lb across the years we have, from the 2009 (2,450–2,550 lb) to the 2017 (2,600–2,700 lb). Beyond weight:
- Complete or stripped. A Fit with its engine, transmission and original catalytic converter sits at the top of the range. Yards deduct for missing parts.
- Runs or not. A running Fit can be worth more as a used car than as scrap. Check used-car values and where to sell before you scrap it.
- Title in hand. Lost it? Get a duplicate first. See title fees by state and our bill of sale templates.
- Towing and location. Free pickup is priced into the offer, and yards far from a shredder pay more freight.
Compare buyers in who pays the most for junk cars, or run a specific weight or a yard's posted price through the junk car value estimator.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a junk Honda Fit worth?
About $125–$310 as scrap metal, by CarWhere's estimate. The low end is a light early model year at a yard that deducts for towing. The high end is the heaviest configuration, sold complete with its catalytic converter. A 2020 Honda Fit comes out at $130–$305. If yours still runs, its used-car value is likely higher than scrap.
How much does a Honda Fit weigh?
Between 2,450–2,700 lb curb weight across model years 2007–2020, estimated from EPA test data. The heaviest year we have is 2017 (2,600–2,700 lb) and the lightest is 2009 (2,450–2,550 lb). Your door-jamb sticker or owner's manual has the exact figure for your trim.
How much do junkyards pay per ton for a Honda Fit?
CarWhere's estimate is $101–$231 per ton of curb weight for a whole car, tied to the USGS benchmark for heavy-melting steel scrap ($318.77 per metric ton in December 2025). Yards post their own prices, which vary by region and change monthly.
Do I need a title to junk my Honda Fit?
Usually. Most yards want the title signed over, and yards that handle five or more junk or salvage vehicles a year must report each one to the federal NMVTIS database. If you've lost the title, a duplicate from your state is usually the fastest fix.
