I wouldn’t hold my breath. If we couldn’t get high speed rail between Montreal and Toronto in almost 50 years, I doubt Alberta can make it swing without the dysfunctional feds even attempting to help. Canaduh is hopeless.

Byfords’ a good man, he did some great things at the TTC, despite Toronto and it’s council critters being a complete and utter disaster.

Madness, how badly does someone need a Tesla? and with these payments you are not saving money over running a regular gas car.

We managed to score 0% for our demo cx5 in 2020, now rates are at 6.7% for the 2023 models.

There are enough people in the market that need a car right away either due to a job or a move to an area with no transit. So most of us cannot wait until the OEMs stock exactly what we want. So if it’s a grey auto SUV/CUV with decent financing, that is the way most people will go.

I’ll take things that never happen for a thousand, Alex.

Any decent landscaping business is likely not just cutting grass but lawncare and landscaping jobs where it can be into the thousand per job.

that HD is a big write off and needed for the business, so not a terrible purchase. It’s the F150 grocery getters that never use the truck bed except for ikea furniture that are questionable.

In Ontario: Was on the dealer lot this morning at Mazda, a 2023 CX5 is selling for $374 (let’s call that $800 a month) biweekly for 84 months and 6.7% interest rate, So that $1000 a month figure is not far off. Here in Canukistan the average new car sale is $61,000.

That’s great if you live in a warmer climate, Northern US and Canada is rust central.

Looks I am being further rewarded with keeping my 13 year old SUV. Saving on car payments was enough of a reward but this is the cherry on top.

ND, only 100 miles of range

Some deal, cars are criminally expensive and seem like junk more and more.

Yup, add the Canadian tax, all that for “free” healthcare.

I can confidently say after buying a 2020 cx5 before things went nuts and keeping our cx7, dealerships won’t be seeing me for a quite a while.

Maybe cars from the 80's become unreliable as they approach 100K miles, but cars these days can do 200K miles all day long.

I don’t think the Orcas give a shit about some proxy war

A keyboard...how quaint...

We bought a cx5 recently before the market went nuts, probably a safe bet of the more recent cars. Other than that our 2nd car a cx7 is going to be around for a while. It had a transmission rebuild a few years ago and the MZR/duratec 2.5 ltr engines are pretty common and bullet proof.

They don’t call them stealerships for nothing.
