My friend has the exact same thing but I think he payed around $2000 CAD for it, I have seen them for around the 1500-3000 range in my area but its up to you if you want to buy it. I just think you could get one a bit newer or with less km with that much money.

yea i know i have been looking around the aria, plus thats just the price i was told. price is always nagitable, as i said i would put my tires on it any way so they wouldnt have that extra expence there for sell it for much less. and i could get a payment plan aposed to having to come up with all the money at once, i am going back on monday to get more info and a test drive

Hi I made a mistake it's actually a 2004 so it's a little high mileage for its year and it only has a class 2 trailer hitch. I prefer a class 3 but that's easily changed

Could be the brake calipers, my dodge did that before I replaced them.

Which province? Leather, sunroof, power everything, 2-door or 4, etc? Get the frame independently checked too. There's a mint '05 with only 78,000km up the road for sale where I live in NB for only $4,500. I'd only offer $2,000 for it only if it's loaded due to the rust/damage; the trade-in was probably only like $900-$1000 anyway so they're still making money off you then of course there's the hidden paperwork/lot fees + tax. High km's for the year so too many variables in my opinion, something better always comes along anyway. Anyhow, good luck mate!
