The Honda Civic is one of the most scrapped vehicles in Canada and for good reason. With over two decades of production, millions on Ontario roads, and a consistent appetite for parts among mechanics and rebuilders, the Civic holds up surprisingly well even at end of life. But “scrap value” is not a single number. It depends on the year, the condition, the metal markets at the time you sell, and critically — whether the catalytic converter is still attached.
This guide gives you a realistic, year-specific breakdown of what a Honda Civic is worth to a licensed scrap car removal in Mississauga in 2026, including a focused look at the catalytic converter values on the frequently searched 2005 and 2008 models.
What a Honda Civic is worth as scrap in Mississauga?
In Mississauga and the GTA, a Honda Civic car in scrap condition is typically worth between $300 and $750 CAD in 2026. That range reflects real transaction data and current Ontario scrap steel prices, which sit between $0.09 and $0.45 per pound depending on grade and buyer.
The Honda Civic’s base weight is approximately 1,200–1,350 kg depending on year and trim. At current scrap steel rates, the raw metal floor value is roughly $150–$240 CAD. Every dollar above that floor comes from salvageable parts — particularly the catalytic converter, engine, transmission, and any body panels in resale condition.
Year-by-year Honda Civic scrap value in Mississauga
The table below reflects estimated scrap car value offers from a licensed Mississauga buyer in 2026. Values assume the vehicle is complete (no major parts removed), non-running, and in typical condition for its age. Running vehicles or those with valuable intact components will receive higher offers.
| Year | Generation | Estimated Scrap Value (CAD) | Key Value Drivers |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000-2002 | 6th Gen | $280 – $400 | Mostly metal weight; parts demand low |
| 2003-2005 | 7th Gen | $320 – $480 | Cat converter value; some parts demand |
| 2006-2007 | 8th Gen (early) | $380 – $520 | Higher part demand; cat converter intact adds $80–150 |
| 2008-2009 | 8th Gen | $420 – $620 | Strong parts market; cat converter, engine value |
| 2010-2011 | 8th Gen (late) | $450 – $650 | High parts demand; transmission value |
| 2012-2015 | 9th Gen | $480 – $700 | Electronics, sensors; higher cat value |
| 2016-2021 | 10th Gen | $550 – $800 | Premium parts demand; turbo models higher |
Note: Values are estimates based on current GTA market conditions and scrap metal rates as of April 2026. Actual offers depend on individual vehicle condition, completeness, and market fluctuations at time of sale. Call (647) 547-0393 for a guaranteed quote.
Honda Civic catalytic converter scrap value
The catalytic converter is the most disproportionately valuable component in a scrapped Honda Civic. Weighing just a few kilograms, it contains platinum, palladium, and rhodium- precious metals that refining operations extract and resell on global commodity markets.
For Civic owners, the practical implication is straightforward: do not remove the catalytic converter before getting a scrap quote.
