Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a missing catalytic converter reduce my car's value?
Typically $150–$300 below what the same vehicle would fetch with the converter intact. Toyota Prius converters are worth more (up to $400+) due to higher precious metal content, so their absence impacts the offer more.
Will my car run without a catalytic converter?
Usually yes, though poorly. Without the cat, you'll likely have a check engine light, reduced performance, and a loud exhaust. Many states also won't pass inspection without a functioning catalytic converter.
Can I sell a car to you if the catalytic converter was stolen recently?
Yes. Just let us know upfront. We don't need a police report — just an honest description of the vehicle's current condition.
My Prius converter was stolen — is it worth selling the whole car?
Toyota Prius converters are among the most stolen because of their high precious metal content. Replacing a Prius converter can cost $2,500–$4,500. For older Prius models, selling the car often makes more sense than replacing the converter.
