CND and AUS dollars about about the same, I think that the CDN dollar is a bit more than the AUS. For an SE, $2400 is a good deal, I'd probably snap it up.

Yeah, so LONG AS THE BODY HAS NO RUST (check storage bins)

its a definate buy. I bought mine for 3 grand, near perfect body/paint, WITH RIMS, but with a terribly neglected engine (hadnt been propperly tuned in years, previous 2 owners were girls)

If you want the car buy it before it goes. First impressions are what matter as there will always be minor faults to make you be uncertain if you have a shadow of a doubt from your first drive.
