It appears to be a U.S car with low miles.
They are best to send it back to the U.S if they want U.S money.

They would be hard pressed to see 100k canadian here in canada. $90k tops.

Need to ditch the wheels too.

A Canadian selling a car in Canada to a Canadian and quoting prices in USD seems so ... well .... un Canadian ... it should almost be illegal , I am starting to understand Bill 101 a little better now .
This is Canada for Christs sake ,,, even if its 30% more sell it as CAD !!!

My friends at the auto auctions, are saying they can't win any auctions. American buyers are scooping up trailers full of Canadian used cars. The Canadian dealers are having a tough time getting used inventory for their lots. How do you compete with a 70 cent dollar?

I regularly spend time on Bring-a-Trailer http://bringatrailer.com/ Instead of raising my kids and going to work.

There is an increasing trend of Canadian cars being posted and sold to the US. Seems like people that have been holding out and using the exchange as an advantage. Good for them!! I would do the same.

(My US bank account is empty... crappy time for that!!! Wife shops in the states too much.)

^+1 I would only sell to US or Europe if it ever came to that point. Larger pool of buyers and send your truck and pick it up (no uvip, etest, safety bull) after the $ transfer clears and the exchange bonus is banked.

Totally off topic... but sorry I have to comment...

Bringing the old jobs back to America is how we(US/Canada/Mexico) will fail. We can't rely on brute force lower end working class unskilled to marginal skilled labour as the solution. Creating a highly educated and productive workforce that leads the world in creativity, innovation, and advancement that strives forward while utilizing the large and lower cost workforce of other countries is possibly the best way towards a sustainable and productive future.
