OEM cats value?

Ïon · 06-16-2021, 01:39 PM

Hey guys wasn't sure where to toss this so here I am, but next week im having my test pipes installed. shop doing the work is offering me 500$(cad) for my oem cats does this seem like a reasonable value? slightly over 10,000km on them. Couldn't find much in the way of cats for sale on here to compare to...seems like a lot of people scrap them for 150-300 usd?

just my 2cents here , don't know about restrictions there but here in Cali you will need them for when the smog inspection is due , but $500.00 cad if you don't need them sounds good , but in the other hand if the shop is offering you that much , means he can sell them for double the money to someone that will need them in the future ????? like you perhaps

They ditched air-care here in 2014 due to the number of old high pollutant vehicles being so low, it’s a very new car dominant market here so it wasn’t cost effective to have it in place so I can’t see it coming back. I thought about selling privately as well for say 750 but 500 no hassle seemed reasonable 🤷🏻*♂️ But if it comes across as a good price to others such as yourself I’ll probably take it 👍🏻

I'd take that if I were you. Fair price and no hassle. Sure, you can probably get more, but the question is how much time and energy will you use in doing so.

That’s a good deal!

Zingston · 06-16-2021, 05:33 PM

I'd take that deal for sure. 500$, no hassle!

Got $600 in FL

I’m in Florida can get 800for both cats, but if you’re in Cali I recommend keeping them just in case you get caught
