Autotrader shows it smack in the middle at $24,800 :rolleyes:



Here's a decent buy:
https://vancouver.craigslist.org/bnc...823414253.html
2010 Acura TL SH-AWD A-Spec with a 6spd manual; 157k km, $11,995. According to the pictures, I would rate this car's condition as fair/good rather than "excellent" as stated in the ad.

New paint, whole body. New rims, new aftermarket wheels. No Carproof provided (says it’s available, why not link it?)

I’m betting it has had a huge claim on it.

tofu1413 02-19-2019 03:37 PM

alberta car all its life for the TL.

no claims on carfax.

Im sure this is cool for someone. $3500 isnt bad for a v8 coupe.

You will need a pair of these if you buy it tho..

worst time of year for CL good buys. Past the point of people trying to sell before winter storage, too early for the pre-season stuff to hit the market.

CL good buy rules:

no dealers
no rust
no 2 pedals

pickins are slim - daily reposts and RHD trash

snowfarmer 02-19-2019 08:24 PM

And a mullet & mustache.

Great list! Let me add a few more :thumbsup:

No 6cyls. I6 okay but no V6!
No tilt only sunroof
No pleather surfaces
No slider controlled HVAC units
No cars with under 19" wheels

And finally:

NO TRUCKS!

Because they tend to have rust and most have GASP two pedals!

Matrix XRS in a unique color (not the usual boring silver) It’s a little light on details and pics in the ad but could be a good deal.

https://vancouver.craigslist.org/rds...824344156.html

2004 Toyota Matrix XRS - $2500 (Langley)

https://images.craigslist.org/00X0X_...F_1200x900.jpg

2004 Toyota Matrix XRS

6 Speed manual transmission

Excellent running

New clutch last year

Body has a few small dings otherwise in great shape inside and out.

Badhobz 02-20-2019 08:44 PM

Ugh other than the fact that the 2zz was prone to some oil pump issues, I'd buy this in a heartbeat. Toyota VTEC what's not to like !?

tofu1413 02-20-2019 08:58 PM

That’s a fun to drive beater.


Like the yellow too. Can’t lose it in parking lot.

That's a Tiida, so not in the North American market. Don't get how the exact same car was called three different names (Versa, Tiida, Latio) in different markets.

I know there was/is an Impul Versa (or Versa Note) driving around locally though.

The market says, yes.

Forster XT. Boring colour and automatic but looks clean. The fact the current owner replaced the cat shows he probably actually does maintenance instead of just putting tape over the CEL
