It us just being fixed up as we speak but we will have it for sure by Monday...
We checked out a few used lots that we knew about and liked a lot, but they were asking way too much, for as is condition, we just did not want to owe money on the car at all.
Hubby talked with one of the guys at his work who works on cars on the side, and told him we were looking for no more then $1500 certified and e-tested (something you have to do in Canada), then we would have enough left over for titles, licenses, insurance...
So, he called his friend at the shop and asked what he had available right now...
As long as insurance is not too much, we will be getting a 1996 Chevy Cavalier, it is only 2 doors, but for a beat around town and drive to work vehicle, it is good...it will also have a new engine, which makes it even better. The guy is a regular mechanic as well, and we have been looking for one that is closer to us then our old guy...
Now, when we get our bigger van, which may not be for a while, we can trade in our current van and only have insurance on a van and car still...instead of 2 vans...see, one step forward!!
So, we got a car and a mechanic all in one shot!!
Yeah! Congratulations.
