That is a lot. I average 10-10.5/yr (16-16.8K kms) or less than half that.
According to the listing you posted, the car has 139,000kms (86,000 miles.) At 32K kms/year, how long do you think the 04 will last you and how much will it be worth then?
I'm all for getting a HB Jaimie. I love mine and think you know that, but fuel mileage will be less and the car already has 139K on the clock!!
$9999.00 CDN is currently equivalent to $9,659.00 USD, guys.A rough estimate of what mine might be worth w/it's mileage (42,200 miles) is $11,000USD.

Richard, did you mean the dealership quoted you the $11k as what its worth? My local dealerships tell me mine is worth $8k - $11k and I have a little over 80k on it right now.

No, this was a rough,online calculation I did a few months back, and based on my own opinion of the condition of my car as it is. (<<< Not TOO biased....

Wow that seems rather pricey for a car with 100,000+ miles on it. I bought an '05 Mazda3s with 24,000 miles on it for $14,000. No leather but the works otherwise (moonroof, premium sound, etc). I guess it all depends on where you live!

...and then I went back and realized you had written "kms"!
