Hi guys ! I’m from Canada, and I need some advices on buying my first car. My budget is under 5k. What models/car brands are reliable ? Also, what do I need to verify and ask the seller ? Thanks a lot !

      Well the good news is that after I dumped a ton of money into it, it’s running smooth and still looks pretty new. It’s a Typ 8P A3 hatchback which are kind of rare here in the US.

      The impression I got from the car history was that owner #2 drove it pretty hard and never maintained it. I’m dreaded owner #3.

          It isn’t here either. That’s over the course of ~2 years but I’m not wealthy by any means either. I’m lucky to not rely on it for work, so I can wait and take my time repairing it when needed.
