This whole post makes me sad. For years I thought it would be cool to have a car lot that just sold eco-cars / alternative fuel vehicles etc, but then came to realize that they are totally worthless around my neck of the woods, and the cost to get them anywhere else negates how cheap they can be found here. For example:

Today is Sunday, and I still get phone calls from wholesalers etc wondering if I am interested in cars they have taken in over the weekend. '98 VW Golf, sunroof, power everything, 2.0L 5 speed, 250k KMs for $300, '97 VW Cabriolet, 210k KMs, black, $1500 etc. I say no because that's really all they are worth here. If only I could email cars to people then I could make this work haha
