Default Why the Canadian economy is doing better than the US

I finally figured it out! Us Canadians are a bunch of suckers!

I've been searching months for a Z, found a couple 40th anniversary editions worth pursuing.

Case 1
Dealer is advertising on Craigslist a 40th anniversary 370Z with 10,000Km (6000miles), at full price $48,888.00. I called the sales guy, he says it brand new,.... but it's got 10,000Km! He says "no, it's brand new, never been registered, dealership owner has been driving it". But it's got 10,000Km on it! It's like driving across the country and back! "no, no, no, it's new". Whatever this guys smokin', I want some!

Case 2
Private seller of a 40th, wants to sell the car at the same price he paid for. "Dude, once you drive it off the lot, you lose, .... at least 15%". His reply "But next year it'll be worth more, 'cause it's a limited edition and will be a collectible". He lowered his price a couple thousand, but still....wow!

I think we must be suckers up here as someone will surely buy these cars for those prices and keep our economy going. Are we all that naive?

Has anyone else come across the disillusioned?
