when i said not too far, i made a mistake when converting canadian to us dollars. my bad. $20k canadian is way too high. i was thinking it was $16k canadian.
bad repaints can be costly to fix, and can really annoy you over time
high mileage cars (118k is pretty darned high) can start to cost money. things like variocam, valve job, head gasket, suspension bushing, clutch, will almost certainly all need to be done if they haven't been
75k is pretty much the tipping point on these. cars below that point are worth on average $5k more than cars over that point. i know it should be a graduated slide, but history shows that it isn't
other than a couple of
really well sorted cars, i cannot remember the last time i saw a 100k plus car go for more than $14kUSD
i think my estimate of value of that car is right though at 13-14k canadian
also, realize that unless the list of things above is handled, you can expect to spend a fair amount of dough in the first 2 years, as you sort things out. keep that in mind when setting your budget.
take your time shopping for the car. it will be worth it in the end.
