Resale higher than expected?

Around here ... we call them small d***s.

I agree. And there may have been a bit of bias in his post as well since apparently only the "Asian Community" around there are enthusiasts. I see loads of RWD sports cars around. Even in the GTA.

Well there Strat two things:
1) Toronto and Barrie are not "around here" (Ontario is 1.5 times the size of Texas) for me and I was speaking locally not branching out across the country. Of course you can find some if you spread the net far enough. Obviously around Montreal they are even cheaper since I was replying to Fuman's post and he set the cost.


2) The qualifier there was under $18K. Of the links you provided only one just barely met that at $17,555. I refuse to count the one at $17,998 as being "under" (although of course it technically is).

We have the longest highway on ramps ever and people still merge well below the flow of traffic. These people would die instantly on New York highways

I live in an Asian neighborhood and it's a bit better since we grew up watching Initial D. There are lots of FR-S/BRZ's, genesis coupes and modded import cars in general with the early 20's Asian crowd. But the older crowd is all Corrollas and Camrys. Even the BMWs are all automatic and xdrives.

America's Worst Driver was like one season or something. Canada's Worst Driver is 11 seasons and going strong. And they'll never run out of candidates.

I only ask because on reddit people were stating alot of statistic on Canadian drivers

Well maybe in the new year in the middle of winter I will find a nice one under $20k

When I traded in my tC at 8 years old it was still blue booked at $8,000. The car was only $18,800 new. Held it's value really well. I expect my FRS will as well.

Can't stand modified crap like that - it's one thing to compromise your own car's performance for the sake of outlandish modifications, but big wheels with big wheel poke, and no flaps just toss everything large, small, sharp, heavy, and you name it back up at your car, and every other car and motorcyclist behind them.

Also having to roll up my windows and shut my vents on a nice day because apparently it takes the re-birth of Hexxus to get the thing above 25mph coming from a stop is never anything but a gross, irksome experience.
