Damn, the floor is like $10k cad (7500usd?) here for something that runs and drives. Registerable can be an extra bit more. Everyone here “knows what they have” and is gouging way above value.

minus-squareRedderthanmistylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·9 months agoMy 2003 Honda CR-V is probably worth ~£1000 if I were to sell it today, and other than a dead AC, it runs perfectly fine.
