bdonkersgoed Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 That seems pretty expensive to me . . . at least, in the Toronto area it is expensive. There is a Red '92 with 135000 kms selling here for $6995CAN. There is also a Black '93 with only 82550 kms selling for $9500CAN (although it has been for sale for a while, so you could probably pick it up for $8500CAN) I bought my Green '92 (5-Speed) with 132000kms 2.5 years ago for $9500CAN I think a more fair price for that car would be $7000CAN - $7500CAN. Are the prices in Vancouver that much different? Good luck in your search! Bryan
3ztwint Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 Bryan, you said you get about 30mpg in your ES, do you have any tricks to get this that you could pass along? Oh and SK, you crack me up. J
SKperformance Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 thanks, i think 3z? i think one of my lobes is damaged from childhood which causes me to create and destroy things with ease but speak very frankly. Which part are you talking about?
Lexusfreak Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 Used car prices should not be any different in BC or Ontario. All the dealers when the cars were brand new paid the exact same price for their cars. I found the prices quite simular all over Canada actually. Are you looking to buy the car privately or from a dealer? Many "private" sellers have no idea what their car is worth & come up with a number well above what the car is actually worth (the car dealers do too......but their excuse is they need to make a profit! :chairshot: ) . I got 30 mpg + on my trip down & back from Florida easy! B)
P-Funk69 Posted June 24, 2004 Author Posted June 24, 2004 Yeah, i think that car is worth $7500. But imports are really big here and people want a fortune.
Lexusfreak Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 Same thing here in the Greater Toronto area (GTA).
P-Funk69 Posted June 24, 2004 Author Posted June 24, 2004 Interesting, I'm coming to Toronto in August. I might check out the cars out there. My buddy said import cars are cheaper there then in BC.
Lexusfreak Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 Really? One example is at a Lexus/Toyota store in Toronto, they have a 93 ES with about 80k for $13,900! Check www.lexus.ca & do a search for a "pre-owned" ES all accross the country, you will see what I mean. :)
bdonkersgoed Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 30 mpg ?????WHAAAA? Actually, I just recalculated and I am more getting around 25-26 mpg . . . I am Canadian, and I like to measure fuel consumption in kms/L (contrary to the standard L/100kms which I think is stupid). Andyways, I was converting to miles per Imperial (UK) gallon. The UK gallon is 4.54609L where as the American Gallon is only 3.78541L. Thus, when referring to mpg in terms of the US gallon, the mpg will be smaller. Oh well, the feul consumption still isn't too bad. It still uses less gas than my '93 Mazda MX-6 did . . . Regards, Bryan
Lexusfreak Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 I did the same calculation......I might be getting the milage I am because of the VVT-i feature & and more refined technology than a 92 model as an example but I'm sure there are others factors as well.
