I recently had the opportunity to purchase a used 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix—it’s in pretty good condition, but it doesn’t have a working catalytic converter. How much will it cost to replace the catalytic converter in a 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix?

Generally speaking, the costs associated with replacing a 1997
Pontiac Grand Prix
’s catalytic converter depends on the vehicle submodel—in this case, either the GT, GTP, or SE. On average, however, you can expect to pay somewhere between $650 and $1,350 for this service.
The 1997
Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
is usually the cheapest to replace the catalytic converter on, with the average cost falling somewhere between $900 and $950.
If you have the

If you own a 1997
Pontiac Grand Prix GT
