When I bring in a vehicle for scrap, I always remove the cat. Then I wait in line for them to tell me what they pay. Sometimes I am really disappointed, and other times very satisfied. The buying and scrapping of vehicles game is sometimes a risky business, especially seeing it is hard to know exactly what they pay for the cats beforehand.
The actual weight is the easy part. Because some of the vehicles have after-market cats, it may kill the profit. There must be an easier way of knowing and determining cat. value. Any tricks you guys have, or a list of accurate pricing would be helpful. I have seen some sites that pay for cats, they seem on the low end of the scale, and they are not car-specific lists.
For example, scrapped a Sunfire, got 225-235? for the car, and then 86$ for the cat. paid 200 for the car. By the time I tow it, gas and time factured in, I break even. The cat. makes the difference.
If someone knows of a list, car-specific or anything helpful, pls.let me know.
