How much does it cost to repair catalytic converters on a 1997 mercury cougar?

Question

I was told it was like $800 bucks for all 3 of them.

Answer 1

$800 sounds like a good price. It has 3, 1 on each exhaust manifold and 1 underneath.

Answer 2

That's not a bad price, but it you're not going to keep the car for long, you can get universal cats from a muffler shop. They're not great, but they work. They're cheaper too.
