I have a 2005 Toyota 4runner that I need to sell. The catalytic converter needs to be replaced and my mechanic quoted me $2,500 for parts and labor. I’m trying to get the best value. Should I fix it first? Or just post it online and disclose the defect in the ad? Thank you!
If if runs OK, I’d sell it as-is to somebody that thinks they can fix it on the cheap or run it as-is. You’d feel pretty bad if you replaced the cat and it got stolen before you sold the vehicle.
Get at least two more quotes.
What state/province do you live in / what are the emissions/inspection laws for registration/plates?
I live in Colorado so need emissions, which already passed it couple of months ago.
If it already passed… What problem are we trying to solve here captain?
Why can’t you get new tags for this vehicle you own, and passed emissions/inspection, to get maximum value out the resale of the vehicle?
Well the check engine light is on.
