This would make my 4 year olds world if I brought this home

Literally nothing. With the crazy used market, and the value of the Canadian dollar, you're looking at nothing but 15 year old Mazda and Nissan commuters.

yep, Mazda 3s, a ton of early 2010 KIA/Hyundais. Sometimes there's a sweet Volvo, or Saab but they are still asking premium. In Canada you really need to have a $10-15K budget to get into something that's somewhat reliable. For the first time in my life leasing something is looking attractive as I don't want to dump money into a used car that might blow up in 2-3 years. I'd rather flush it down the drain with something in warranty the whole time.

I doubt anyone in the US is going to bother with restoring a diesel CX. Even if you're fanatical about them, you can just import one that already is good.
