"Many"...?  No.  Only ~3% of the early cars motors had the casting 
problem.  Many were resolved and if the car has made it to 100k miles, 
it will likely not exhibit the problem.  I see them as low as $11-12k 
(US) and think they are wonderful bargains.  Especially for a track car.

Are you comparing Canadian dollars to US dollars?

I stay far away from autotrader now that it is primarily a dealer forum. 
  Craigslist is getting far too many dealers too, but many private party 
vehicles are readily available.  The trouble is that you have to search 
every major city individually.  I have heard of Craigslist macro search 
tools, but have never used any.

I see plenty of deals in my neck of the woods (Seattle).  Hope that 
helps, and keep us posted.
