Yeah, that price is shocking. Only slightly less shocking is how piss poor the mileage is with the antiquated 3-speed slushbox automatic!

I've considered 2 different slushbox Metroids in the last 12 months, but only worthwhile as an auto-to-manual conversion project.

Last summer I tried to get an automatic 1.0L '99 Metro hatch with only 27k miles on it near Montreal. The asking price was reasonable, but the seller was incomprehensibly uncommunicative and I gave up in frustration.
