It's illegal to sell a car anywhere in the U.S. without a catalytic converter. It's a Federal, not State law
Sell it to a scrap metal dealer.
It is illegal for a salvage yard to sell a catalytic converter.
Yes, it is illegal to sell a vehicle, that came equipped with a catalitic converter, with the converter removed, in any state.
You can take them to some jewelers and they will buy them.
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.
They steal them and sell them for the scrap value of the precious metals (platinum and others) in the catalyst.
Yes, but you must tell the potential buyer that it is missing. That it may be illegal to drive the vehicle without it.
Most metal recyclers will take a catalytic converter, but be aware that Federal and State law enforcement is now requiring tracking information whenever someone tries to sell them. Stealing catalytic converters has become an industry for criminals and law enforcement has been watching closely.
Not legally.
Depending on where you live it may be illegal to sell anything without the proper permits.
Yes, the engine will run albeit not as it should, but you are also polluting the atmosphere and you will be driving an illegal vehicle you cannot sell in this condition. I highly recommend you not drive your car without a converter installed.
yes they can but i don't think that they would buy it though.
