Yes and No. A dealer should not be able to sell a car without a catalytic converter. However, the dealer should assume that every car it purchases has a catalytic converter. Therefore, if the dealer was unaware, then the dealer has no liability in selling a car without a CAT. Ultimately, the liability lies in the individual whom removed the catalytic converter in the first place.
My dealer tells me it will be about $1555. After searching the web, this seems to be a common issue with this vehicle.
The dealer uses the factory catalytic converter. The muffler shop uses a generic brand replacement part that may or may not be of the same quality.The dealer uses the factory catalytic converter. The muffler shop uses a generic brand replacement part that may or may not be of the same quality.
I am being quoted a price of $1,300 to replace the Catalytic converter on my 2004 Toyota Highlander. This quote comes from a dealer located in Central Ohio.
$791 at the Lexus Dealer
yes, its a dealer only item in California
That depends on the engine, whether you are buying a dealer part or a generic fit aftermarket part, and what your definition of expensive is. A quality catalytic converter is not cheap.
At a muffler shop-150.00 (approx) A dealer-800.00 (approx)
Retail on these are about $880, but the dealer cost is only about $425
Chevy dealer, auto parts store, etc.
Some do not. Check your VIN number with the HVBOM report from your Ford dealer.
