Received code P0421 on my car & catalytic converter was ruled out as the issue at three different car shops. Last car shop offered best deal but still can't afford to pay his amount. I asked if I were to buy a catalytic converter on my own would he install it & he said yes. I realize I don't have the option to drive the car indefinitely as this would create a larger problem. Which is the lesser evil, buying a lower online priced catalytic converter or buying a rebuilt OEM catalytic converter? Last mechanic said he'd charge $150 for labor. Before he said lowest he could go is $590 total (if he bought the cat. con.). I'm determined to get this cheaper, I just need feedback on this.

That is real advice. A car is NOT a "right" but rather a privilege. If you can't stand the heat get out. If you want you can pay 10% of what tools cost me and you'd be broke!

Wow, you need to be deleted as a moderator & fast!!! I pity you. Maybe someone will have compassion on you when you need it some day. What a cold stone heart you have. I will never return to this site. Have fun making fun of people & giving useless advice. What an excellent example you serve for this website!

Not sure where you are getting that code number from. PO421 is not a legit code. PO420 is however a Cat code.
