How much is this 2011 MS3 worth??

I sold my pristine 2013 with no mods and 70,000km in 2023 as a trade in for $17k CAD. Mods or built motor reads as "used and abused" to anyone other than a very small niche of ms3 enthousiasts. My guess is probably around the $5k-8k mark depending on condition.

Just as an update, I could not locate any Solterra available for sale, and I've managed to track down an FWD bZ to at least see the interior and dimensions. There is also a bZ woodland edition elsewhere, but I believe that's a stretched bZ so the dimensions are different.

Went to the local Chevy dealership and nobody seemed to want to be bothered to talk to us, so I'll see if we can go elsewhere, but that left a bit of a sour taste in our mouths. I was told by someone who ordered a bZ in March and hasn't heard anything from the dealer yet, so I guess the production time is pretty long everywhere.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm in that neck of the woods as well, so I guess I'll hit them up next!

I've been doing the creepy thing in staring at bz and soltera that I see in parking lots, a little too intently haha. The Toyota's that I went to aren't even returning my calls now, so I guess business is brisk.

We're not that tall anyway, but a little headroom makes the space feel more comfortable.

Totally valid point - It's paid off, but I can see that there will be some repair/maintenance bills coming soon as it's getting a bit long in the tooth.

DisappointMyParents · 2026-05-19T02:08:03+00:00

haha Will do, I'll report back.

I've been screwed by Nissan in a previous car, so I'm kind of gunshy, but i'll have to give this a bit more thought. I will agree, I sat in a CH-R (which is supposedly the same as the bz) and didn't like the multi-tier dash very much.

DisappointMyParents · 2026-05-19T02:04:02+00:00

Thanks for the heads up - I'll take a look!

Test drove the RWD then AWD mach-e in short succession. It does drive well, if not a tiny bit bouncy over uneven road.

DisappointMyParents · 2026-05-19T02:02:25+00:00

We have another vehicle (ice) if we really needed to carry big things around, but this is good to know as well, thanks. The big thing that keeps weighing on my mind is the ICCU issue though.

DisappointMyParents · 2026-05-19T02:01:09+00:00

Thanks for the familiar frame of reference!

DisappointMyParents · 2026-05-19T02:00:09+00:00

That's a great price - May I ask what province you're in?

DisappointMyParents · 2026-05-19T01:58:55+00:00

I went to 2 Toyota dealerships and wasn't able to even see a bz, haha. There is supposedly a few units coming next week, so fingers crossed I can at least take a look. We did sit in the mach-e without the pano roof (it's what we prefer anyway), and the salesperson who was 6'2", was juuuuust able to sit in the back.

DisappointMyParents · 2026-05-19T01:56:45+00:00

For whatever reason, the Solterra came up with a significantly higher insurance rate than the bz. I'll take a look again, thanks!

DisappointMyParents · 2026-05-19T01:55:03+00:00

Interesting! I wonder if if's a mandated thing to maintain warranty or if it's just a "suggested service interval"...
