Well I said salvage yard but in reality it could be buy it used from someone who crashed their car. Even my local salvage yard has some they will sell for cheap because they haven’t had the time to go under and remove it. The point is in some cases you can get the parts for scrap prices. Around here the most scrap cars go for is about $300. Lots of people have a yard with 2-3 dead cars. I have 3 currently. Yes if I take every part off and sell individually I can make more money but for just as is $300. The other means of fixing this issue is just not add a catalytic converter but then you need to install a cat delete device so you don’t get a CEL and fail emissions testing. That too would cost several hundred dollars. Wasn’t trying to be condescending perhaps you woke up wrong side of the bed. Good day.
- sagarm 5y agoThis was the part that came off as condescending to me: > while soccer mom means you pay a premium for a new part and pay someone to install it. "soccer mom" is generally not a compliment.
- 14 5y agoPerhaps it was me who woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I’m going through some heavy health stuff right now and don’t feel great. I guess I meant by soccer mom someone in a better position financially who would’ve paid someone to do the job thus costing them more. I hope all is well in your life, cheers.
