    Buying a vehicle (non motorcycle) as is from private vs dealer

    One strategy my friends swear by is buy a used vehicle and keep it max for 3 years. Sell it before major repairs and get 80/90% of original purchase money back. Buy next car that requires less maintenance. I tried it and it worked for me as well. Obviously this time I had to go a lot cheaper and...

    Buying a vehicle (non motorcycle) as is from private vs dealer

    1999 Mazda B4000 2wd 5 speed manual, 5 seater with 3 seater bench seat in the front and crank windows. Minimal rust and overall good body. All for $2600. I was gonna get a $20k tundra or $24k Tacoma but with tariffs, overall uncertainty and less folks getting a mortgage (shameless plug I'm a...

Regarding private sales, I did offer sellers an option with money to get their vehicle certified...

    Is it also true that Insurance Companies have access to CarFax now? Apparently, if they find out that your vehicle has an accident on the record, they increase the premium?

    I have always bought my vehicles privately and got safety done without any hassle. However, these days I understand Ontario safety standards have gone up since they have gone digital. I want to buy a truck again as my older one (Honda Ridgeline) had been accumulating too many kms and I sold it...

    Load-N-Go Motorcycle Loading Lift - Anyone have this?

    What does an oil thread mean? There are always ways to improve processes and this is why I am asking for feedback with genuine curiosity. He does a cbr1000rr at 6:30: I see tons of ppl commenting in the video that they used his method and how it was more efficient. I would secure the back of...

    Load-N-Go Motorcycle Loading Lift - Anyone have this?

    This is pretty neat but one would have to get motorcycle specific hardware and ensure they have a long pick up bed.
