Friends of mine own a used car lot... and this is currently on their lot!

2008 5-speed with 255k kms = 158k miles. Accident-free. Asking $995 as-is [not mechanically inspected, which is needed in Ontario for the new owner to get plates].



They get many of their cars from the local new car dealers -- usually trade-ins that are older or have higher kms. This is one of those.


It's the trim with power windows & locks, so maybe also has AC and cruise? I dunno my Fits.

They say it drives fine - they've been using it as their errand car for a few weeks.

But I just said to someone yesterday: I have to start getting rid of cars. Not buying more! Far too many projects.
