* Prices shown are indicative market values. Catalytic converter pricing depends on metal content, unit type, and verification.
Used heavily in gasoline catalytic converters
Stable pricing compared to other metals, but still impactful on overall value.
Common in modern gasoline vehicles
Often the largest contributor to converter value in newer vehicles.
Highly valuable and volatile, often present in smaller quantities
Small amounts can dramatically increase converter worth.
Converter value is closely linked to live market prices for platinum, palladium, and rhodium, which fluctuate daily based on global demand.
OEM converters typically contain higher precious metal loadings, while aftermarket units vary widely depending on brand and construction.
Serial numbers and stamped markings help identify the converter model and internal composition, allowing for more accurate valuation.
The ceramic or metallic honeycomb inside the converter plays a major role in recoverable metal content and overall value.
Converters that are intact and unmodified are generally easier to evaluate. Missing components or heavy damage can affect pricing.
Bulk or mixed loads may qualify for volume-based pricing, especially for commercial, recycler, or fleet sellers.
We use live precious metal pricing combined with converter identification and real-world buyer demand to determine fair, up-to-date values. This approach helps ensure pricing reflects actual market conditions at the time of quoting.
