Default Help wth a car in NS

Hi,

We have been in Chester Basin for just over a week and so far are loving it. BUT - our hire car has to go back on Monday and we don't know where to look for a used car. We have looked at a new Equinox but really don't want to spend that sort of money. Can anyone give any suggestions on where to look for a decent sized used car that won't cripple us too much on the insurance?

Thanks for any advice

Angela

Hi angela,

If you go onto the uk2nova scotia website, they have dealings with I think O'Reagan's used car dealership. They would be able to give you more info!

When we sold one recently it went on Autotrader (online and magazine) and kijiji (had a great deal of luck with lots of stuff on here).

Lots of dealers advertise on Autotrader, which is useful if you don't want to risk a private deal.

Be very careful with O'Regans, one of their dealerships tried their best to rip me off in a big way, using the lack of credit history to take me for a lot of money, they failed however and I eventually get a great deal elsewhere. Be very careful of their "unbaised advice"

Autotrader.ca at least to gauge prices.

And to see what it may have been worth on trade use the free Canadian Black Book:

Good luck...
