    What are the average values of these cats?

    I was wondering if the value of the cats on 2 vehicles I'm going to junk are worth me messing with them now or waiting until the weather is nicer next year as I'm in no rush, but if they "might have" a decent scrap value I might mess with them now.

    1995 Ford explorer utility 4 that is a x military vehicle. 6 cyl engine automatic

    2000 Chrysler SV TMC van. 6 cyl engine automatic

    I tried to find out what the values might be, but no luck on average values that can be expected without taking them out and reading the numbers on them.

    Just looking for the averages that can be expected as I know that they could be partially empty or such.

    The 2 explorer cats minimum $260. The Chrysler van should be 1 cat around $300-$450.

    Might be worth my TIME cutting them off SOON. The Ford is easy as it sits high enough to get under, but it's still a bit tight in the cool weather with more clothes on and where I parked it..

    The van is like a low rider and has a front tire that leaks around the bead.

    But I have what is needed to jack up the vehicles and cut them off.

    If the weather is nice and my body feels up to it I just might grab them as I have plenty of things I can spend the money on or get a interesting trade.



    The main problem is thinking on it long enough, but not to long as to getting the motivation to do it as this is my lazy time of the year for outside as I get all the more into my inside things.

    As I have never had a "cell phone" I don't have the easy way that most have of taking pictures.

    I might see if I can use the Fugi digital camera I bought years back BUT never got around to using it or even figuring out how as cameras and taking pictures doesn't interest me much. Have thought of looking into a new digital camera that I can easily use and download the images to my computer. The Fugi has a cd with the download, but I might be able to find the information on line as I have a fast enough internet connection these days to download.

    But I have had the camera issue on my lists of things I might do for many years now.

    Heck, I've been wanting to sort through my video game collections for YEARS and just started on that a couple months ago. And then I have my security, leo and military collections and drum sets and............................................... .................................................. ........

    I mostly make it up from day to day with so much I can choose from

    I DO GREATLY thank you for your input.
