Looking for a $5,000 or less used car
My cousin-in-law is moving to the Island and is searching for a cheap reliable vehicle. She's still over in UK right now and has asked me to do some scouting for her. The only problem is that all my vehicles up to my Delica have been hand-me-downs from family members. Any advise on good sources of used vehicles in the Parksville to Victoria region? I'm guessing she's looking for something relatively small.

Re: Looking for a $5,000 or less used car
I have an '87 Honda accord hatchback 5 spd for $2800 in Nanaimo
Runs great, well maintained, 228000 kms, I would keep it but I can only afford to have one vehicle and that goes to the Delica.
PM me if you want more info

I have a 5-speed 1991 Mitsubishi (badged Plymouth) Colt for sale. It's reliable but it's due for brakes and suspension. $1000

Re: Looking for a $5,000 or less used car
Thanks for all the repsonses. I'll forward them on to my cousin. Right now she's driving my old '95 GMC Safari, but she may the gas bill too much to handle (as we did) and want to downsize.
