Car prices suck there? Once something is about 20 years old and has 200k (kilometers, no miles), they aren't worth much here.

235km (147k miles), V6, good condition, $1600 canadian pesos ($1250 US). Door handles work and hasn't been painted by a teenager. Found in first search, not my usual patient method of checking every few days for a real deal.

Generally speaking, in similar econo-price range, I can find things in the early 2000s, around the 200k mark all day long...an older one needing repairs and having a rattle can paint job, like that one, I could probably find for half the price.

Just an observation and a curiosity. Different market, obviously. I'd like to see a gradient map of typical car prices all over north america.
