Best place to take catalytic converter?

[EP82JM]

I knew if I wrote cats id have got some animal related responses hence catalytic converter lol.

Anywhere local that gives proper money for cats? I have one here that companies in England are buying for £200/250 region, but I couldn't imagine tmet etc paying that,or would they? Id imagine them to pay **** money for them and I cant be bothered travelling the country for them to say 40quid mucker

Any suggestions on good places to take them?

@Lyons had quite a success rate with recycling catalytic converters for cash

 

[EP82JM]

He was always going to get tagged in this lol

Just make sure its an OE cat. Aftermarket ones are worth about 2 quid.

Last time I was in tmet, they had a book with all the different manufactures listed, for cats, they can probably give you a price over the phone, if you tell them what car it came off.

Bump, who are people using these days for good prices

I went to PPP in portglenone last week there and was quoted 280 for one and said they would check with some chap who collects them. He says there is something wrong with it and it's only worth 100. They may well be right so I'm going to chat with them on Friday. Tbh, they seem straight enough so I'll be interested to hear what the craic is with the one I've left with them.

very few cats get done now compared to what it used to be.
There’s a decent amount of alloy scrap here if you’re still interested Fred?

They're buying old used cats for £280 ??? For one ?

Flip I've two massive secondary cats removed from the rs6 lying around didn't realise they were worth anything never mind a hundred or two

Yes mate il fire you a txt later and arrange to get it lifted.

 

[FM155]

@stevieturbo Yep although they say it's only worth 100 now because of damage internally. They could well be right as it came off my targa car.
£280 is the 'book value' of the mx5 mk2 cats. A mk2.5 is worth approx 350.

 

[stevieturbo]

Holy ****....that's like a 10x increase from a few years back

 

[FM155]

Depends on the code of the cat on the casing. Not all are worth that.

 

[Apis]

There's cat code checkers online, worth a browse.

 

[DJMCA]

Excuse my stupidity.... but why are they worth so much????

 

[Coog]

Precious metals in them.

There is a guy (I'm sure there's a few) in the us sweeping streets and collecting the precious metals expelled from catalytic converters at the side of the road!

The prices are away bonkers now. I have a friend who breaks the odd car, he sends me snaps of the receipts for scrapping the cats. There is a certain model which he gets £750-850 for a single 2nd hand cat. EP3 ones are at about £400

Is there a lost online somewhere of the valuable ones ?

Would be like a shopping list for thieves with cordless angle grinders.

Yeah sure you see the videos of it happening in broad daylight

Well clearly the thieves already know, that's why they're stealing them.

At least one got justice though

Swindon catalytic converter thief was found dead under car

Gary Gray was found crushed to death by garage staff when they came into work in the morning.
