That would be nice... Would probably have to go to Vancouver, Victoria cars are mucho dinero.

My latest idea is to go down to Seattle and buy a Subaru...

Am I the only one who thinks $10,500 for a 6+ year old economy class car is high? Like really really high?

I agree 100% Marko.  A car that may have a good reliability history, but is not too far off of a new car is not a "good used car buy" in my book.

Autotrader.com shows the average price of A3s within 100 miles of the Seattle area code are $31,000...a tad more than the P5 you're looking at.

Here's a 1-owner '05 9-2X Aero...21,000 miles...$15,000 US.  Sorry 'bout the auto trans.

Used A3 is rather pricey, and Audi parts prices are rather scary ...

A Saab 9-2x would be great!

Excellent condition! Selling only because we will be away traveling for a year. Must sell by January 31, so we are willing to negotiate on price.

2002, 5 speed, pwr windows/locks/mirrors, sunroof, cd player, AC, anti-lock brakes, cruise control. Just over 138,000 km.

I've been looking at Outbacks lately (listings, at least.) Seems like an 05-08 would be pretty well priced in Seattle. Since I have friends there, it's an easy trip. i have a few US bucks, so the currency gap wouldn't be so big.
