Identifying Mercedes-Benz Catalytic Converters for Scrap
How to Identify and Sell Mercedes-Benz Catalytic Converters with RRCats
Mercedes-Benz Catalytic Converters are classified as foreign catalytic converters and have very distinct serial numbers. When looking for a price, it is essential to look at and send all the codes on the converter, as more information from you leads to quicker prices from the team at RRCats.com.
While Mercedes-Benzes are expensive, their catalytic converters could be both low- and high-value. These cars typically have 1-2 catalytic converters, and Mercedes does an excellent job of stamping serial numbers on the units. This allows them to be easily recognized as OEM units and have multiple serial numbers listed simultaneously.
What does a Mercedes-Benz Catalytic Converter Look Like?
Depending on where they come from, they could be a brighter color and generally always have the Mercedes logo. Mercedes produces many diesel cars, and many times, those cars will have 1-2 catalytic converters on them, and those catalytic converters could have mixed values.
Some diesel units are called DPFs (Diesel Particulate Filters) and have little to no value other than scrap steel pricing.
Everyone thinks Mercedes-Benz or other European catalytic converters always have a high value. Still, many of these could be foil cats and less valuable than their ceramic counterparts. To be sure, send us pictures and the serial numbers of your Mercedes-Benz units for an accurate price quote.
Mercedes-Benz Serial Identification
Below are some general tips for identifying the Mercedes-Benz cats you may have:
- They have 8 to 11-digit serial numbers.
- They often feature the Mercedes logo stamped directly on the casing. These converters may also stand out with brighter-colored paint or markings, which help with identification during grading.
- 2-3 sets of numbers/codes will be listed.
- Example: KT0121 = different ranges.
- Often, people send us messages with the letter “O” instead of the number “0” (zero). On Mercedes-Benz and all cars, the “0” you see will be zero instead of the letter “O.”
