at that price, that surrey rs4 i suspect has blocked heads from the carbon buildup that they are known for at high mileage that can cost a fortune to correct.

brand new base price was $94k cdn

You can get a lot for $37K ... eg. how about this one, a 2006 Maserati Quattroport with the Ferrari 430 engine, 106K kms, for $30K, that's a lot of car for $30K!
2007 MASERATI QUATTROPORTE M139 NO ACCIDENTS (WHITE/BROWN)
stay away from the early pre-2007 quattroportes because of the duoselect transmission burning through the single plate clutch. they are cheap used because it costs thousands to fix, and it will just eat the new clutch again (i was told ~70k kms or less)
