Car for sale!

There you go Prages. Problem solved.

Yeah, wish it was that easy. I'm starting back to work on Monday and there's a good chance that she'll have to drive the minivan until we either find a car or wait until her dad's lease expires. Too bad the summer is over or I could ride the bike.

I have been buying used cars from dealers without any problems. I bought used Toyotas in Ottawa from Mendes and also BelAir. Both times the car was a year old, less than 20KM and the price was 25-30% lower than the new model.

No problems with either. I have had the first about 10 years and the second about 2 years.

A good time is late summer or early fall about the time of the new model year.

I'm not sure if anyone recommended it, but the Rideau auction is a great place to get a good vehicle for cheap.
