Catalytic converter scrap prices

Ohh, it's a 2004 Toyota Celica

Replacement cats for those seem to be 50 for aftermarket ones so from that you wont get much for the original cat. Maybe 20 quid or less.
If aftermarket cat for your car costs like 200 quid then you will get serious cash for the original

Heard an auris without it’s cat today. Sounded horrible, felt sorry for the owner.

Seems to have migrated oooop north now.

Close encounter last week, they did the hospital car parks while I was visiting a relative. Luckily the space I found was out of sight. In the main carpark where there's footage of them doing a Prius and a Jazz. Can't see the point in buying a Catlok, they'll likely just damage the car worse trying to get it off.

Depends what brand. For most cats, may not be worth it. If it's a Japanese one it's worth a million pounds.

If it's a Toyota hybrid one, or a Honda Jazz as they contain Palladium. Not an old Celica.

I work in the sticks and the PCSOs came round last week to warn us that a nearby gypsum plant had the cars in their carpark decatted by 3 men in a Galaxy with Irish plates.

On some of the MX5 pages there's a lot of people asking for anyone selling their cats! Seems the demand is rising

2 cars in our work car park were done. Auris Hybrid and a jazz. Must be gutting to start car and hear that.

 

[Gaygle]

Four have been done in my area in the last 2 weeks. All Honda's.

So much for saving money by running a hybrid. This will be hitting insurance prices as well.

Once the cat business is over, they will probably move on to thieving batteries and other expensive components from EVs.

DPFs are getting stolen aswell. I expect they are more likely sold on rather than scrapped for the metals.

Wondering if removing the Hybrid badging might stop them targeting an Auris...

Probably stuck straight on ebay. Which then gets bought by one of their other victims.

A guy at work has his car stolen and found his laptop (which was in the car when it was taken) listed on ebay within days. So he bid on it and told the seller he'd collect/pay it in person, got the address and phoned the police Took some convincing though, initially the police just did not give a ****.

Auntie had her Prius cat nicked during the night when down south for her father in laws funeral proper scummy move.

There has been a spate of cat thefts from my local hospital staff car parks last night and the past few nights. Having reported it to the police this morning a colleague was told they are being sold for approx £80 on average.

"Come on Barry, just suck on the pipe and siphon the electricity out"

Hybrid owners need to get imaginative, perhaps rig a battery up to the exhaust so they get nice little shock when they try to pinch the CAT

 

[MagicBoy]

A couple of hundred volt zap from the traction battery should put them off.

I've got a 2.5 CAT somewhere that is apparently worth about £400..

Apparently it depends entirely on the code, rather than the gen it came off, but get rid of it asap if it is worth that much!
