Aight, fess up. Who bought it?

40k USD is 53.5k CAD before taxes and duties. There's a long list of cars you can get for that much money.

Not to mention one that looks like it came from the Fast and Furious 1. lol

Claims cleanest. Has stretched front tires.

Went to look at this one. I forgot how peppy these 2.0FSI engines were, many smiles were had driving this. Seller was very up to date on maintenance, looks like everything has been done aside from suspension bits. Won't be taking less than 6700 though. Very tempted.:alonehappy:

Doesn't look as loaded, but year newer and stick shift

2007 Audi A3 Sportback - VICTORIA $7,300 | autoTRADER.ca

No pano roof, looks like base model. I'm actually one of those that are looking for an Auto as well. Just scared of another horrific euro experience. Been through a e46 that had meltdown after meltdown, and a C-Class with huge maintenance bills.

216k miles :pokerface:

hows the maintenance on one of these?

2013 Focus ST with 67k km for trade in value at $17000.

About as bad as my maserati if you take it to the dealership. (3k a year on average for routine maintenance .. this is just maintenance. If shit goes south it's a couple of thousand every time )

You can do some of the work yourself but it's still an expensive proposition if you use it as a daily. Although the price is quite good ... oh nevermind , it's a rebuilt and ex USA. I'd stay away.

Doug demuro had videos of his used Aston on YouTube. The new owner of Doug's ride , tavarish is working on it himself.

Watching these videos kind of got me excited for about 10 years down the road. With the number of exotics on the roads today, and the number of people that can actually afford the maintenance on a used car, or even want a "old" exotic. These things should take a massive hit in depreciation. Maybe i'll own a supercar one day! That will sit on the street with my parking permit... hah

Very true. Majority of the maserati / Ferrari guys in Vancouver are only interested in the latest and greatest. After 4 years and when the warranty is done they always trade up for whatever the next greatest thing is .

Not too many people keep them like I do. However I do warn you that the stinking oil filter is $80 for my car. Parts alone is going to be double or triple your average car

really wish i sold mine here! mine had pano roof. it just had high k's over 200.

i had it listed for about 6 months before i gave in and taking low balls.

Seems like a reasonable pickup if you're in the market for one of these (assuming that there is no major accident, BC car, things check out mechanically, etc.).

^^That place is basically a Kingsway Dealership

narrow body automatic with an off colour front bumper

Hood looks off, too.

Good eye!

I have the same thoughts, and then I remember the old Top Gear episode about old supercars for 10 grand. The hard part would be figuring out where the graph showing when I could afford to buy an exotic and the graph of how old of an exotic I could afford to maintain will intersect.

Maybe if I get lucky I'll be able to get an old Vantage before they're all too old to be driven, but I'm not holding my breath.

Back bumper as well

Just went and picked up the A3 :) new daily!

2009 E92 M3 DCT, 85000km for $28,900 at a dealership. Most likely has a big claim on it.

Possible odometer rollback? The wear and tear on the drivers seat and steering wheel
