Sell or Trade-In car w/no cat converters

[chris308]

OK, i may have to unload my C5 fairly quickly in the next month or so...

As it sits, my car has a full exhaust; LT headers, x-pipe no-cats, and catback exhaust.

If put in the position to sell/trade the car do I need to put cats back on the car before i can trade her or sell her? Do i need to disclose that there are no cats on the car?

Chris

P.S. If i do get rid of the vette it will be replaced by the 4-door version

Chris, I traded in my 88 at a chevy dealer in clearwater, no cats, I did not say anything, they inspected the car 2 X , they didnt say anything or ask, I didnt either, no problem.

They dont put it up on the lift to check at most stealerships so not an issue.

Good Luck on what you get Chris!!

The FL counties that used to have vehicle emissions inspection no longer do, so it should not be an issue.

Tracy - If i sell, moving to a CTS-V, need the 4 doors and backseat

Thanks for the replies all!

When I traded in the Vette they didnt ask at the Ford dealer. When I got rid of the Shelby I had to sign a waiver saying that the emissions hasnt been modified. I was asked if cats were still on the car. When I told the salesman that I turned a vette in with basically dumps and they never asked or had me sign anything, he said they could get fined for that because I guess its becoming regulation where dealers cant sell a car without emissions being up to epa standards. That might explain why the ford dealer only sold the vette within 3 days.

Yea, that's what i was wondering if they could come back afterwards and fine me...
