I think it's just a case of supply / demand and the buying power of canadians.

It's been on there for a long time.

Originally it was priced at 35k, back in feb i think, then it dropped to 30 arround spring time, and in the last month he's dropped it to 25.

I wonder if something is wrong with the car? I offered the guy $27k for that car back in
March but he wanted closer to $32k and I thought that was a reasonable price.
I assumed it would go for $30k. What does this mean for other FD owners??
Guys on there have cars priced the same with 100k km's are FD's tough sells?

I hope for all our sake a FD like that does not go for $20k In the US that car would fetch 25-28k US. What wrong with this picture?

I think FDs are a tough sale since the target market is so small.

I'd agree. FDs > 20k seem to take forever, FD's under 20k seem to go pretty quickly.

I think it depends on how close you are to the US market. Vancouver and Toronto guys, can pick them up accross the border, without much trouble, but as you get into manitoba, Sask, and AB, It's just as much of a pita to get one from inside canada as it is to get one from the states, and you eventually come to the realization that you'd pay the extre 3-5k to get one locally to avoid all tha hassle whatsoever.

So i think that FD would sell in a heartbeak if it were in Calgary, Edmonton or Winnnipeg for 25k, but not in Vancouver or Toronto.
