Not quite sure what to make of this, but it appears that someone in Victoria, British Columbia has just sold a 1998 GV1 for 5,000 (about 1,835 U.S.). We got a tip from Patrick J. who said that he spotted the ad but was unable to get a hold of the seller before his or her contact information was taken off the ad.
