I am parting out a 350z. A guy wants to buy my stock cats as he needs to pass inspection. For most parts I just check car-parts.com for value. No cats listed there. Any idea what the value is?

 

I was offered 200 for mine. But he also wanted me to ship them. That would of been 50-70 buck because of the weight. They are still sitting in my garage.

 

If you google it, the range in price is from $170 to $1,100~(which is obviously insane). I'd say the most a consumer like myself would be willing to spend would be like $450..tops, for a good set.

 

Guy only offered $100 for both. Seems too low. I should call and find out what they are worth for scrap.

 

I've seen them go for $200 to $400 ... my oem cats are tucked away in a box in my attic (just incase)...

 

I sold my old stock cats ($120 for the pair) to a guy who buys them for scrap - they had 129k miles on them.

I had found some low-mileage take-off cats to put on my Z when I replaced the entire exhaust system from the exhaust manifolds back this year. I paid $125 for the pair of take-offs - found them on craigslist.

 

I sold my to a "recycling" place for the platinum in them, dont know how legit they were... but i had to show my license. if i remember i got $150 for them

 

Most go for $150-300 if no codes. The hard part is the weight and people don't want to pay $90 shipping. I had my OEM 06 FR/RR brake kit sold to a guy 150 miles away for a fair price and he bailed over shipping cost.

 

I threw mine in the trash = $00.00

 

I purchased a clean (no rust, no dents/rash, and no busted or cracked welds), low mileage, used set for $180 (came off a 06 G35). Condition/Mileage will make a huge difference in price. If your Z has very high mileage, odds are the CATs won't have much life left in them, making the value very low. In short, $100 - $200 is about what I would expect for a pair of OEM cats. The values could be much higher in states like CA because of the draconian C.A.R.B. rules.

Where did you find the numbers on the cats?

 

DE or HR Cats?

DE = $100 - $180
V/HR= $300 - $500 currently.

I know that since I'm trying to buy one or borrow one myself haha.

 

I have a hr. I’m putting resonated TP on and my buddy wanted to make a offer to scrap. But I couldn’t find numbers and it seems like it’s hard to anyways lol. I’m in Ohio if that helps you and need any

 

Junking a fully running/driving audi a4 2.8. Guy is paying me $250 and said he gets basically nothing for the car and all the value is in the cats

 

If I had a nickel for every "WTB cats for smog" ad I've seen...

 

You'd have 50 cents, cant even buy a coke

 

Yeah, maybe, but that's still ten people who should not have thrown away their cats.

And yes I can buy a coke. On sale, 12-pack is $5.99 (and lower) so juuuuuuust under fitty cent. Yeah yeah, I drink far too much diet soda....
