Thanks. The car is mint. Only 47,000km. I got it for $35000CAD. They are really hard to find here in Ontario, I've been looking for a while.

Converted to U.S. - thats about 30,000 miles and priced about $27,000USD. Don't get me wrong, congrats all the way but a bit high in my opinion. I used to live in Niagara Falls, Ontario when I was younger. Still have most of my family living there or Windsor, Ontario. My family would purchase U.S. cars and import them to Canada. Its a long process, but I bet you could have saved yourself a few thousand dollars importing an RL to Canada.

Just my

Gratz tho, A-Spec looks nice!

Man. Thats the exact color I initially wanted, but ended up with dark silver. I was insistent on an 06' (because of warranty length) and got a great deal w/ low mileage (30,000).

Damn. A-Spec! That would make up the difference of an 06 vs 05 for me!

Congrats. Buy the 100,000 / 7 - if possible! !

Considering yours came With the A spec package it is probably not as over priced as some may think..

Thanks guys. Hopefully I can learn a bit about this car here. There aren't too many around.

If you check Autotrader.com, there's quite a bit, check Autotrader.ca and you will see probably 10, lol.

So 47,000km is 28200 miles

$35000CAD with today's exchange rate is $43,750USD (all taxes included in this price).

RL's here brand new sell for $69,995 CAD and the A Spec package is an extra $7000 which equals $76,995 plus 13% tax = $87004.35. With this in mind I think I got a good deal.

Our cars are different than american RL's. You guys have On Star in yours and have live traffic updates. We don't get that, we get heated and cooled seats, lol.

I think that line is incorrect as a dollar is worth more than the CAD.

As far as heated and cooled seats, we got that toy for 2009...

Welcome to the club!
