We buy every year from the 2006 CD3 launch through the discontinued 2020 CD4, including S, SE, SEL, Titanium, Sport, V6 Sport, Hybrid, and Energi plug-in hybrid trims. Same-day free pickup across Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana. Call (773) 939-3333 or submit a free quote.
The Fusion has a unique profile in our yard: Ford discontinued it in 2020, so the entire fleet is now aging out without replacements. Most Fusions reaching us are 2013-2020 CD4-generation cars, where the 1.6L EcoBoost (coolant intrusion) and 6F35 transmission (shudder, harsh shifts) drive repair-or-replace decisions. The Hybrid and Energi plug-in variants add additional complexity because battery-pack degradation becomes the deciding failure mode after 10+ years.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a junk Ford Fusion worth in Chicago?
A junk Ford Fusion in Chicago typically pays $300 to $3,800 depending on year, powertrain (gas, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, EcoBoost), title, and cat condition. 2017-2020 CD4 Fusions with working 2.5L or 2.0L EcoBoost engines pay $1,000-$3,800, 2013-2016 CD4 Fusions with 1.6L EcoBoost (coolant intrusion era) run $500-$2,000, and 2006-2012 CD3 Fusions quote $300-$1,600.
Is the Ford Fusion really discontinued?
Yes — Ford ended Fusion production at the Hermosillo, Mexico plant in July 2020 as part of Ford's shift away from sedans to crossovers and trucks. That means no new Fusions enter the used market. The existing fleet (roughly 2006-2020) is aging out, and our Chicago yard sees steady volume as 10-year-old Fusions hit their first major repair bill.
Will you buy my Fusion Hybrid or Energi (plug-in hybrid)?
Yes. Fusion Hybrid (2010-2020) and Fusion Energi (2013-2020) both carry hybrid-battery recycling value on top of scrap metal. Typical Hybrid adds $200-$400 to our offer versus a comparable gas Fusion, and Energi adds $300-$600 due to the larger plug-in battery pack. Even Energi cars with failed batteries have recycling value.
Do you buy Fusions without a title in Illinois?
Yes. Illinois' 10-year rule applies — any Fusion from 2016 or older sells with just photo ID and VSD-190 title application. Newer 2017-2020 Fusions need registration plus a bill of sale or ownership affidavit. Indiana residents use BMV Form 43399. Details at [we buy junk cars no title](/we-buy-junk-cars-no-title).

Same-day. Call (773) 939-3333 before 3pm — Chicago-area Fusions typically get loaded onto our flatbed within 2-4 hours of the quote. We cover the full metro and Northwest Indiana.
