Re: Car leasing in BC

Exactly, I've had my eye on something with extra seats for a while now. Would probably go 7 seat if we stay in the UK as well, as current car is on last legs.

Re: Car leasing in BC

I've always driven Fords in the UK with a similar "low hassle" experience. Love the idea of an Escape (hired one (well, a Kuga) here recently), but if there is a chance of keeping it long term need...

Re: Car leasing in BC

Yep, I must admit that's a competing instinct with the leasing one. Know it will save me a lot of money.

Car leasing in BC

Re: Brexit and Canada

Yes, good advice. We're not naive about this - we've seriously looked at Melbourne, Austin and France in the past and for various reasons not done it - and know it might not work. We're trying to...
