I need some advice from all you knowledgeable SMF members. I have an opportunity to purchase 8 or so Cat Converters. All of them came off Subaru cars/wagons. Probably a few came off WRX. I do not know much more than that. What is a good price I could offer for each and make some profit?
Pictures would help.Quote:

From what I read, big diesels and European cars have the best cats
We have a Cat buyer here on the forum I would suggest using him
If they came off Subaru cars you'd be safe calling them kidneys or low grade foreigns. Depending on where you sell (most scrap yards aren't great outlets) they should be worth $50-$60. There are some worth more (that look almost identical) but you'd have to have a really honest cat buyer or really know your stuff to get that grading. Now, they usually come attached to a smaller cat (a pre). Those could be called a pre, a foreign pre, half a low grade foreign, etc. But it should be worth about $30 right now if you're selling to an actual cat buyer. Hope that helps!
Make sure they aren't aftermarkets or you'll lose your shirt!
Edited - just so you know I'm not full of it, I've bought 10s of thousands of cats. I'd be glad to help anyone not get shafted, it's real easy to be taken advantage of if you don't know your stuff.
I would be happy to give you a price. You can post the pictures here or if you prefer, text them to me direct.
I spoke with my cat buyer last week, prior to buying a junk subaru outback. The kidneys were between $60 and $80 depending on where, how many / if any O2 sensors. The pre-cat was about $30. Wish I could find those texts to give you a more accurate price.
One sensor kidney I will pay $85. Two sensor kidney I will pay $115. The pre cat I will pay $32. The turbo kidneys will go by codes.
Not to hijack but I have a 96 s10 blazer cat, 02 monte carlo 3800 cat, 01 aztek 3400 cat, 00 dodge ram 1500 5.9 cat (the gigantic one, its a 50 state ram), 87 2.5 s10 pickup cat, 98 2.2 s10 pickup cat, 98 durango 5.2 cat, and two honda cr-v manifold built in cats, unknown year, but it has two sensors on it. I've had most of these cats for years lol.
