No for me. Show up with my scan tool, confirm reason for CEL, maybe buy, maybe clean CAT before buying a replace. $720 for a car with maybe 100,000 or 200,000 miles still in it! If true, great beater deal.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
