Just wanna budget ball in a used Audi coupe

That RL is way too much with that mileage IMO!

IT'S A HONDA

So what you're saying is that, there are no recession deals lmao

What I learned after nearly 50 pages of "recession deals" is the real deals go to shady dealers or out of province/country. The market is efficient and there are no deals to be had (unless you want to dedicate all your time to refreshing used car postings every minute).

And yes that RL is a raw deal.

I was on the search for a new bike last september and figured with the recession there would be a ton of choices at some killer deals so the first couple months i checked kijij here and there with no real urgency to buy but any bike i thought was priced fair was gone within days. Fast forward to feb 2016 i was starting to get a little worried so i literally checked kijiji every morning and a couple times through out the day and again anything that i potentially liked that was priced right was gone within days. I finally found my dream bike mid march and when i seen the ad first thing in the morning i texted him but he already had people lined up to view with one saying they wanted it. Told him to reply back if they bailed but nothing so i figured it was sold because it was a good price to begin with. 6 days later i seen the ad again in the morning and the buyer had backed out so i managed to get it for a smoking price because he was so sick of dealing with kijiji lol Sorry for the short story but you pretty much have to check religiously if you want a really good deal because theres still people fire selling but theres also people waiting for these deals

Same thing happened to me, saw a car listed for good price. Buddy wanted to show it to people in order of who texted/called first. All flaked or passed on it. Texted me a few days later saying he was going on vacation and wanted it gone. Needless to say I got a smokingdeal on it

Please tell me it was a W124 CE... I feel like you have been looking for one for about a decade!

I wish It was an E36 328. Unfortunately, the only CE that's popped up was a black pos that got re-posted by 3 different people recently . The right one will pop up one day

If you really want one you need to expand your boundaries. Good ones definitely exist but they will be in the states/vancouver/japan. I looked for many years locally for my SC400 until I found the perfect one in California.

it sounds like a lot of work to look everyday but its easy once you enter your criteria and just go into saved searches and click the link. It sounds a little lame but i was kind of enjoying it because it was like a treasure hunt

I'd rather not say because i might be selling it

[max_boost]

A buddy sent this to me. I'm tempted. Any really good sub $500 lease deals out there?

IS300 will feel much slower than the BMW 328i and have worse fuel econ.

Very similar to my car.

Decent deal, I think. Mileage is up there. Would probably take a higher price to get mine out of my hands.

Anything interesting for me is going to the States. but that seems to have slowed down, and if our dollar creeps up into the mid-80's i think it will slow a lot.

The Americans have to park the car for 30 days on import now I think.
