How much is a cat worth? - Joe205 - 09-02-2013

Just wondering if anyone knows the scrap value of a cat these days? From a t reg dturbo?


RE: How much is a cat worth? - Birk - 09-02-2013

Depends if it's genuine or aftermarket.

Anything from £0-160, but I highly doubt it will be at the top end of that scale.

Genuine ones normally go for about £70 or so in my experience... Aftermarket ones about £30-40...

If I post a pic up will anyone be able to tell me if its genuine or not?

It should have a code stamped on it somewhere. Google it and you can normally find out if you search hard enough. Got 80 for mine out of a hdi

Depends what breed of cat tbh. My friend will pay good money for a decent tabby but hates Persians
Most people don't deal with many of the "big cats" but they're generally worth a bit more. Lynx being quite rare iirc
So it can be hit and miss but I hope this helped :-)

Surprisingly good analogy!

Scrap value of a diesel partical filter is nothing more than the steel its made from if you cant sell it to someone privately


How much is a cat worth? - Joe205 - 09-02-2013

Really? I thought they were more? O well hey!

Scrap it and find out!

Some of the genuine ones are worth a bit more than you might think but most scrap dealers have cottoned on to this and will rob you blind and give you £40 and tell you you're lucky to get that.
Find a specialist that deals in nothing but catalytic converters and contact them for a good price.

If they are ceramic Dpf they are worthless, but if they are platinum finished they they are worth money


RE: How much is a cat worth? - Toms306 - 09-02-2013

They aren't DPFs. Wink

I got £45 for a genuine mk4 golf diesel cat, depends entirely on the car and the cat contents tbh.


RE: How much is a cat worth? - sweeney1987 - 14-03-2013

DPF's only came in around 05.
doubt a treg dturbo has one...
meanwhile cats were bunged onto everything prior to this until they learned more...
