Or $6000CDN? Seems pretty complete - I think I considered all the cars listed here before I bought mine.

not sure how the exchange rate would work... for example a $6000 impreza 2.5RS would have to be really ratbagged or has a blown head gasket :o

Plus market values vary widely. I have a 1990 Miata, and had been keeping an eye on prices the last few months.
Locally $6000 will not buy a 2nd gen Miata (after 1999). $6000 is more a great condition 1.6L (1990-1993?) or an average condition 1.8L (1994-1997).
Also, the majority of local 240SX's for sale in the GVRD are high mileage and have at least some amount of rust.
However, still a good list of decent and (relatively) cheap used cars.

I think used cars on the east coast of the US are much lower due to rust issues...Maybe it should be less than $10,000.

Used car prices are lower in the states (just search Seattle's Craigslist ads - and Seattle should have higher used car prices than the rest of the states).
Used car prices in BC, especially the South Coast (Vancouver/Victoria) are pretty much the highest in Canada.
