the price is a little bite higher.accually you dont need to ask him .
just go to CAA TO CHECK IT THROUGHTLY. ABOUT 150$ the CAA guys will tell you if the car has been clashed or not.
but before this you should make sure that you wanna it or not better ask a guy test it on highway first.good luck.altima is good

Hi, lio,

I went to the montrealautoprix just in this month. The price they offered is lower than the other dealers but is still higher than the price from the car owner.

Except the years, the millage also is a important factor for used cars. However, if that Honda civic only has less than 100k kilometers, the price is reasonable, but we can't say it is a very good price.

多谢， hpyue. 你的见解更加坚定了我要从私人手中买车的决心。 听从folks 的建议，每周六大早去买Gazette,拼他个6 到 8 个周。我就不信买不到。。。

I saw a car,

Volkswagon Golf, 1991, 160000km, manual, the car looks good, ask for 3000$CDN,

How do you guys think about it?

Folks

Lio,
You dont have to buy the Gazette. Save $ 2 and buy me a coffee one day - you can get on the internet and print the car ads from Montreal Gazette  web page

hi, folks
thank you very much for providing us so much useful information. i am hunting for a car now. my budget is $9000, is it realistic for me to get a 98 corolla, auto, a/c, mileage less than 100k km?

Folks

jcz88,
I think it is possible. If $ 9000 includes tax, then you need to work out the budget without tax (if you buy from private sales, you only have to pay GST, I think this model year is no longer in the book of SAAQ - the GST is based on the sales amount - you need to tell SAAQ how much you have paid - no written contract is required.)
But if you are buying from a dealer, then you will have to pay two taxes.
For market price, I think hiyvonne has Lemon Aid - Used Cars, ask her for an update on price. You can also cross check CAA webiste link about used car prices - but it is in U.S. dollars since the link is from the U.S. - another useful resources to check out market prices is go  here - this is in Canadian dollars but this is from a wholesaler dealer. At least you will know the max you should pay for your car.

be careful of one dealer whose phone number is 8082295. he always pretends as a private rich owner, who has 14 companies...but his car's condition is definitely worse than what he told you, and the price is pretty high. he always advertise on Gazette.
It seems some dealers like to pretend as private owners, i don't understead why, can they get more money like that? or maybe they can sell their cars faster.

买10000左右的二手车，你们打算怎么买保险？
单保？ 不怕偷不怕撞?
双保？ 对一辆旧车好像又太奢侈了。

想查车的情况可以问我！
