A friend of mine was looking into foxes again... I remember back in the day 5 grand got you a pretty decent starter project. And back in the day isn't 1997 either.
5 grand gets you a pile of junk, literally. It looks like if you find a decent fox for 10 grand - you are a lucky SOB. I think realistically you need to start with a 15k budget and do your "kijiji" search for foxes between 10 and 20 thousand to ignore the $4,000 shit boxes that need 15 grand in re-work to make it passable.
Even clean 4 bangers are getting up there. My first super clean, no rust original paint, low mile 4 banger fox cost me $300... Today I see people asking near 4 grand for a 4 banger notch.
I'm not surprised, it's not because of BJ auctions either. Supply & Demand is playing a key role here. How many 20,000km original foxes are there in the GTA and even in North America? That supply is drained, now the clean/moderate foxes with around 100,000km are dwindling in supply.
