A Toyota catalytic converter’s value ranges from $75 to $700 when sold for scrap, depending on the specific make and model.
The most valuable Toyota catalytic converters: Catalytic converters in hybrid cars typically contain more of the valuable metals that make them worth so much. For this reason, the Toyota Prius is one of the
most commonly targeted cars for catalytic converter theft
.
Here are some tips to determine the worth of your specific Toyota model’s catalytic converter:
  • Weight and value: Newer
    catalytic converters
    don’t weigh as much, but they tend to contain higher-value materials. Scrap yards will check your cat serial number to determine the weight and value of precious metals in a catalytic converter.
  • Condition: Older catalytic converters will carry less value if they’re worn out or have any noticeable holes or damages.
Keep in mind: It costs much more to replace a Toyota catalytic converter—as much as $2,500. Make sure your Toyota is protected with
comprehensive insurance
if you’re concerned that its catalytic converter is at risk of theft.
