New, about $1000. Used, uncertified? Maybe $100. If you're lucky.

used,with *13 years of use*,almost 200,000 miles of "wear". Probably well past it's expected lifetime.

Strangely, Honda OEM cats will reamina effective for over 500,000 miles, given proper care. Try THAT with an aftermarket cat!

Of course, "proper care" is the key phrase.

My sources tell me the most common cause of early cat failure is poor maintenance, especially poor ignition maintenance. Even slight misfires will eventually "sinter" the ceria surface of the core, greatly reducing surface area.

REMAIN effective.

My keyboard's keys will randomly change position, for some strange reason.

A likely story.

I suppose that the next thing you'll utter is, "That damned tree jumped right out in front of me." Or, "That freakin' pole wasn't there before I backed up."

Typical "north-of-the-border" rhetoric.

OTOH, my splel cheekah alus woks gud...

(Who's spell checker always wants to correct "tegger" to egger...)

Spell Checkers are useless if they can't fix its/it's errors or the poke-in-the-eye "Who's", which should have read "whose" :-)

You nailed it!
