Default You have to realize the scope of this number........

1992-2007 = 15 years

Mileage - 245,000 (most american cars are nearing death at 70k)

These cars are still worth SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS.

I was kicking this around at kbb.com throwing out mileage numbers to see what they said on different ones. The sheer scope of a 15 yr old car with 250,000 miles still being worth $6,000.00 is amazing.

We're not talking these hoopties I see some people buying for $3k, I'm talking about clean examples with no bad history.

I paid $7500 for a clean '92 with 82000 miles.... that may be a lot of money for a 15 year old car, but I cant think of any other car i'd rather be driving at this price point. Keep in mind, SC are pretty rare in canada so you can't find them for the prices you can in the states.
