What drives the price of a junk Mazda Protege

Weight. The Protege is a car or small crossover; vehicles in that class typically weigh about 2,800–3,500 lb, and scrap value is paid by weight.
Catalytic converter. An original, intact converter adds value; a missing or cut one lowers the offer.
Running or not. A Protege that starts and drives can be resold or parted out, which usually beats pure scrap value.
Condition and year. Newer model years, fewer missing parts and less body or flood damage push offers toward the top of the range.
