Is $3k steep for a 25 year old Metro? Do the low miles & clean condition warrant it? (No, I'm not shopping!)

Or are we starting to see the return of crazy prices for old Metros due to the return of high gas prices?

Hmm...makes me wonder how much I could get for mine.

One way to find out!

Is it surplus, now that you have the Echo?

Indeed!

Was going to flog it off cheap, but maybe it's worth more to someone under these circumstances.

Record-setting gas prices in Vancouver! (Victoria too?) Send it over on the ferry!

Higher fuel costs + elegibility for "collection car" status due to its age + fewer of this model on the road = skyrocketing prices. Seems quite predictable. IIRC the same phenomenon happened to the Ford Festiva in 2003 when the military operations in Iraq started.

Now that is a thought-provoking phrase :-)
