Damn, shit is expensive up there… You can buy 4cyl coupes in running, driving condition for $1000-1500 down south lol. $2000 will get you one in mint condition.

That being said, if it’s worth $3500 to you for the car and you don’t want to sell it for less, tell people who don’t want to pay your price to go pound sand.
