It depends... If the mileage is quite low and the car is in pristine condition and needs nothing, I would be willing to pay up to $8000 CDN. An SVX with a good body but with a lot of mileage, wouldn't be worth any more than $3000 to me.
There's a black one selling at "Jasmin Used Cars" with 205000 kms for $2900. Is that the one you are warning us about? I had considered that one, which at first glance seems like an appropriate price (from what I can tell from the pics) and assuming that it's in good running condition didn't seem like a bad deal at all. The problem is that I would have to get my brother who lives in St. Catharines to get the car checked out by a mechanic for me. With shipping and taxes on top of that, that car would end up costing me about $4200.
All of the sudden that $2900 doesn't seem like such a good deal.
