Yeah, $8K USD converts to about $10.4K CAD. That's right in line, maybe a touch higher, than I expected. It's one of those things, very comparable MGBs have brought more (I've seen similar cars go for $15K+), but at that price you'd be waiting around for months or years for that 'right' buyer. Better to be happy with a fair price and move onto something else.
Not sure what I'll do with the little injection of cash....Kiddo is pretty well set for now; I'll either just add it to the growing 'car fund' or be boring and put it against the mortgage.
