What?
2003 Crown Victoria. 250k km, so 156k miles.
How much?
Canadian $2.5k + tax
Mustachian?
Yes and no. In hindsight it was the wrong vehicle. I love it.
We used to have a 2004 Civic but sadly it got 'crunched' recently, so now DW is driving the Vic to work. Not ideal.
Thing is, in Ontario, you pay tax on used cars, plus insurance on this car is really low - like, half that of the Civic.
So we're paying more in fuel, but saving on insurance, and saving from not having to buy a replacement car (Civic came first, then the Vic for when I needed a car, and then I kept it because it was not worth much and I love it... and now it's being used).
Tricky. We were looking at Corollas, Matrixes, etc up to ~$8, 9k, which after tax and wheels and snow tires would be $10-12k. Seems like just driving the Vic and spending an extra bit on fuel is the smarter thing to do in the mean time, until there is a nasty repair or my wife just can't take driving a boat to work any more :P
