First off, I'm in Canada...I saw an ad for a 2000 ITR CW for sale, but as far as I can remember, this car only came in PY for year 2000. Am I wrong?

 

In Canada, yeah.

 

Alright..time to look into this car then...here are the details on it

2000 ITR CW
Gun Metal Rims
30,000 KM's
No Accidents

Asking $25,000 CDN

Good deal or not?

 

i dont think canada ever got the PY.... but i would jump all over the CW. take a magnet and walk along the body. where ever it does not stick to then you know bondo was there good luck.

 

post the advertisement here, so we could see if its a good deal and maybe it someone here...

 

Yeah we got PY in manitoba for 2000, i got the 2001 CW

 

Pretty good deal. Where was this ad posted?

 

I do not believe that CW was available in Canada in MY2000. 1999 and 2001 for sure though.

 

In Canada, CW was available in the following years: 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001

And in Canada, PY was only available in 2000

End of story, I know because "I AM CANADIAN!".

 

hey tommy where in canada do you live?

 

Thats a good idea, i never thought of that.

 

There is this thing called a paint gauge. It's a gauged magnet. Stick it to a particular point on the car and pull away. It is spring loaded and gauged so you can tell how much force is required to pull the magnet away. The more paint there is, the less force needed and vice versa.

 

damn right

 

my mechanic buddy told me about that. i used that for a while, but then he got me the guage one that gives you a digital range of paint. i dont know where he got it but i have one, so if you need one and you are in no cal....look me up i will be glad to help. but if you cant source one the just do what i said in my last post and just use a magnet. make sure you pay very close attention to the amount of force it takes to pull the magnet away from the metal. logic is the less it takes the more **** is betwenn the metal and the magnet...... good luck HTH
