Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
It's just possible that the car you're interested in is fine, but I'm going to have to say that you should just forget about it. Do a search in VAC for "Milani" and you'll get basically the same results for this sort of place. Always be wary of these used car dealerships; high mileage cars with rolled back odo's, shoddy rebuilds, poor maintenance, etc., etc.
Keep looking and spend a little bit more by buying whatever car you're looking at from a reputable dealership, or by buying it from an owner after getting it inspected by a trusted mechanic.
Grab the VIN number from that Civic and do a free status check on the Icbc website to determine of it has a normal status or rebuilt status.

SRS. A lot of those dealers are worse than the scum of the earth, they will lie, cheat, and steal, to get you into one of their shitty, poorly repaired, poorly maintained cars.
Through my experience with these dealership, and if you don't have knowledge that is better than average on cars, don't bother with it.
You'll end up spending more money fixing these junk in the long run.
I don't know how much you're looking to spend on a car, but buying brand new is always the best if you don't have any knowledge on cars.
If you just want a car to get around, don't spend more than $2000 IMO. Although one time, I spent $1500 on an accord an ended up paying almost $3000 gradually over time to fix. Sold it for like $500 in the end. NEVER BUY USED CARS.

You said to not spend over $2000 on a car..and then said to never buy a used car in the same paragraph. Please, point me in the direction of the car dealer selling brand new cars for $2,000 or less. I'd really like to know.

I've never had a new car and likely never will. I'll gladly let someone else eat the majority of the depreciation.
I bought a 2009 Versa in September 2010, was nearly half the price of a 2011 and the previous owner had purchased an extended warranty, so it had a longer and more comprehensive warranty than when it was new. Purchased from a Nissan dealership, car had full records of maintenance, and I had a 3rd party do an inspection and it came up clean.
2 years and 29,000 km isn't worth an extra 50% to me.

You looking at that Si or that regular civic? Either way the prices are way too low. They definitely have been involved in something before. Posted via RS Mobile
most of the cars in a used car dealer typically come from two places. The first is a dealership as a customer traded their vehicle in and the dealer decided it was not worth keeping to fix and resell (and believe me, it's almost always something major or expensive). The other place they come from is auction. Most commonly these vehicles come from out of province. Rust is a big issue if the vehicle is coming from back east. Another thing is claims and other information can slip through province to province, or even from the states. Dealers love getting cars from Quebec because accident history is not claimed and readily available (this I've heard from my used car manager)
Haha when it was Milani like a decade ago, a friend of mine went to test drive a car there. They wouldn't give her credit card back!! They said they had a verbal agreement of sale and it had been a 20 minute pre-purchase drive and not a "test" drive. The guy seriously refused to give someone back their card.
A few friends of hers went by that little shed they had on the lot, opened the door, and took her card back the next day.

Even the Tata Nano, the worlds cheapest car cannot be had that cheap new.

That's your opinion, and your entitled to it, but quite frankly its a stupid opinion.

This.
Obviously it depends on the car, and the individual, and their situation in life.
But for the vast majority of people, it makes more sense to let someone else take that initial depreciation hit. The value of repairs due to someone driving a car like an asshole for 30 or 40000km will never amount to more than that initial depreciation. So while yes, you may or may not spend more on maintenance, it will never cost you more than having bought that same vehicle new.
