One Canadian loony is equal to one Yankee Greenback these days. The Aurora (especially with the Northstar) are darn good cars--one of the best sedans GM made. I was tempted by them as well. But 235,000 kilometers (146,000 miles) is a lot. Be ready to spend a lot of time and money on this car--and these are not like a '72 Cutlass where parts are cheap and easy to replace. Kelly Blue Book shows a "private party" price for a "good" '99 Aurora at $3700. IF this will be your daily driver, remember they don't exactly sip petrol like a Honda Civic, either. I'm surprised by the 32 mpg average. Your grandfather must drive only on the highway and like a erm....uh...grandpa. And, while I'm thinking about it, if the fuel consumption is in miles, does that mean the odometer reading is in miles also?
