    Hello Group,

    Dan from Ontario, Canada. Just bought my first car, a silver 2000 GTP Coupe. 328k and needed work done. Current issues are a leaky trunk, front seats not latching and OBD code C0035 (replaced front left wheel hub assembly and ABS light is still on) but can't complain that much for paying $700.
    I'm sure I'll have questions to ask in the future.

    Thanks,
    Dan

    Yeah I was just going to say, I think Canadians use metric, not imperial. My car had a digital climate control that came out of Canada measuring the temp in Celsius, I had to pull it out to flip it to Fahrenheit.

    Wow... I think we just had a blonde moment... I'm fairly certain the US is the only country that manufactures cars that still uses the imperial system as their standard... But still anything past 300K will only last if its been taken care of and you're going to continue to take care of it.

    Thanks for the input guys.
    Yes, I should have stated 328,000 KM. Sorry for the confusion.
    I hope to get 45,000km (2-3 years) out of it.
    I read the posts on ABS and resealing the spoiler. They were very informative.
    This site looks like it will be a great asset.

    Yeah. If I recall there is a switch on the back. You have to rip the dash apart and pull it out to get to it though.

    If you ever have regional questions go there.

    Also the F/S section might be better than buying from the states.
