Hi guys ! I’m from Canada, and I need some advices on buying my first car. My budget is under 5k. What models/car brands are reliable ? Also, what do I need to verify and ask the seller ? Thanks a lot !

      Yeah even then. It’s one of those things you just shouldn’t entertain because you don’t want to later discover that a small accident actually did more damage than first realized.

        get a pre purchase inspection? there is no reason to pass on a car because it had a fender bender if someone actually looks in over it which everyone should do before a huge investment like buying a car.

          I dunno, my philosophy is that cars are a dime a dozen so you shouldn’t ever settle for one with damage when you can eventually find the same one without if you keep looking.

            Actually, for a used car, I would recommend to look for a nasty but cosmetic scratch. It’s the kind of stuff which gets you a great discount while not impacting the mechanical performance.
