Moving to canada. Does shedding work?

[matthias73]

Hey guys! Im in the fortunate position to be moving to canada for a ski season, and possibly for up to two years if I feel like it.

Whilst I wont be in dire need of a car per se, I wouldnt mind having one.

Now, in the UK you can buy a top shed for a thousand pounds, due to low used car residuals. Whats the deal in canada? Can you buy decent cars for relatively little money like you can here? I quite fancy the idea of knocking about in a cheap old truck.

Also, would insurance be crippling for a twenty year old with a british lisence?

Good god. I might stick to renting a ford mustang when then need arises instead!

[matthias73]

I've managed to hire a mustang twice before, I'm sure I can manage!

If not, I'l be riding a bear around town.

Found some reasonably priced stuff in vancouver, where I'm going. Might look into it further. If I plan on staying a bit longer, I will buy an old volvo turbo. If not, my uncle has all sorts I can borrow should I want to go on a roadtrip.

Point taken. Not going to get a car.

I've spoken to my uncle and he still has his old volvo I can borrow whenever I'm visiting them, which is nice. He also has an F250, which he is fine with me using should I be in a fix.

I know I'm going to miss my 3 series though

Just an update for those who care.

My house in whistler is lovely and my bus pass is sixty dollars a month.

The safety standard of used cars here is shocking. Final comment on hat.

I'm going to rent a mustang in he spring.
