Mileage 235,000. Averages 32 miles gallon on computer readout. Extra clean. Northstar V-8 cadillac engine. No rust

I have no idea how the Canadian dollar compares to the US dollar. However, the Auroras are good cars. You just need to make sure the cooling system is in good shape. I have heard that the Dexcool can clog up the radiator and cause overheating problems.

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?
