    Those are the original cats from that car, and where I am are graded as either a small domestic, or a low domestic, depending on the buyer/customer. Low domestics are currently at around $36, and small domestics are around $44. That's only if they are full, end to end (we use either a dipstick or an antenna to dip them to check). Those cats are bad for being 1/2 empty, but with only 40k or so on them they should be fine.

    i live in arkansas i live between two major towns one about 70000 and the other 35000 and each have one yard. in response to the title comments at one yard we dont need a title as long as its 2000 or older and all we have to do is take off the battery which who would leave it on anyway right. we can leave in all fluids im assuming it lubes the shredder not really sure how it works. we don't get docked for tires either on small cars so you can imagine my dissappointment when i got docked $90 for 6 tires on a dodge dump truck the other yard docks for tires so i dont go there w vehicles anyway but they pay more for batteries brass copper.
