What Makes a Catalytic Converter Valuable?

A catalytic converter is much more than just a steel container. Inside this container there is a catalyst, which is a metallic or ceramic substrate coated with precious metals that will lower the pollution of vehicle emissions.

The three main metals are:

• Platinum – This is used in catalytic systems and is part of the total value of most catalytic converters.
• Palladium – This is commonly found in petrol vehicle catalytic converters and there may be large variations in quantity from one vehicle manufacturer to another.
• Rhodium – This is used in small amounts, but still has a big effect on the value of catalytic converters.

Since the quantity of these precious metals varies from converter to converter, even two apparently identical converters may have completely different values.

How Much Is a Catalytic Converter Worth in Adelaide?

There is not one price that can apply to all catalytic converters.

It may depend on:

• Make of the car
• Type of engine
• Petrol or diesel use
• Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or after-market converter
• Identification of the converter or its serial number
• Presence of precious metals
• Type of converter
• Condition of the converter
• Market prices of platinum, palladium, and rhodium
• Number of converters to be sold

This is why an accurate assessment is better than simply going by the online price of a catalytic converter.

OEM vs Aftermarket Catalytic Converters

However, all catalytic converters do not have the same precious metal content. OEM converters are those which are built into the engine during manufacture. The precious metal content in these converters may vary from that of the aftermarket converters.

Aftermarket converters are those which are manufactured to replace the converter that is taken out. There can be a wide difference between these two types of converters.

That is why it is better to evaluate the converter itself before valuing it.
