damn thats expensive.. especially since canada money it worth more than us..

ive seen a couple go for $800-1500 locally.. needing different things. And even a few "needing nothing" for $2500..

been thinking of building a few..

That's the least expensive fixxer upper I've seen around here. And 100k km / 60k miles is really low for that year.

And considering he posted it at the start of last month, I bet the price he'd take is much less now.

The least expensive Aveo in working condition within 500 km/ 300 miles on Kijiji is $1600 w/ 145k kms. Everything else is $2k and higher.

The US used car market has always been way cheaper than in Canada. No idea why. Volume, I guess.
