huh?

 

"would it be worth out" is northern for "would it be worth anything"

 

got £28 when i took my saab one into scrappy better than a kick in the balls :)

 

I think they saw you coming, theyre worth quite a bit due to the precious metals such as platinum that are in them. Theyre pretty popular for being stolen right from under your car because of this.

I thought your average cat was only worth about 30 (for an escort origional one) with the scrappy obviously selling it on further for a bit of profit

 

Pattern part cats are worth less because they contain less of the precious metal.

 

What kind of cars cat is worth £120 to the owner? (the scrappy must be selling that for megabucks!!)

The st170 is about ~£800+ new, so i guess they could be worth a bit ion scrap!

 

I wonder how much the raw materials within the cat are worth, maybe a fair percentage of the cost of a cat new is the manufacturing process of getting all those different metals into the cat in a set way?
