    If these 2nd Gen Prius Cats are worth $300 in the US, that means the ones here in London are worth £300 as collected scrap per each one handed it. £300 for an apparently worthless piece of metal that can be sneakily filched from underneath some unsuspecting mark’s automobile. It’s swiped and straight into a back pack - and nobody is none the wiser.

    No wonder 2nd Gen Prii are being vigorously targeted. Their catalytic converters are a literal gold mine of precious metals ripe for the picking by these immoral thieves. Just do one Prius a day, and you’ve scored £300 big ones for a very short days work. Not bad, huh?

    Do a week of targeting 2003 to 2009 UK Prii, at the rate of one Prius a day, and they’re looking at a cool £2,700 per week paid in for what ends up being classed as scrap metal.

    Nice little earner for some feckless criminal toady without a shred of conscience.

    Are you a licensed dealer? With all the theft going on it’s hard to trust anyone.

    There's no such thing as a licensed catalytic converter dealer, at least not in the US. I have bought from a few members on Prius chat and have never wronged anyone.

    I try to specialize in high dollar units so they are worth shipping. But I can put you in contact with my partner if you have various cats. My cell is 6312915509
