It had 255k km (160k miles). Engine was good. I advertised the car for a month and highest offer that I got was 500 cad / 400 usd. I got more by scrapping 😯

We have a non-for-profit here in BC that gives incentives to scrap old cars.
I got about 600 USD toward car share or a purchase of an electric bicycle.
I think that I'll go with the bicycle because I cycle 8 km each way to work.

I got a good squeak for you, Steve! Comes with my own lifetime guarantee! :lol:

Bless you all and your pan-American scrap rates! If you can get more than a $100 from scrappers around here consider yourself lucky!
