Richmond VW said business registration is for 1 car.
White Rock is more aggressive on their trade in offers.

@RabidRat - business registration is $351.50 and is a couple of simple forms (technically you don't even need to do them before - you just need to do them if asked)
You may need a business license in your municipality, which you'd usually need to provide the Notice of Articles and Incorporation Agreement.

His X5 has become more utilitarian than intended. Do we see a minivan in his future?  | |

We aren't quite ready to let it go yet because I don't know if ICBC is going to call about the wheels, but I'll keep you mind if we end up not buying another X5 (it's looking more and more likely to be a iX)

did your x5 have the Luggage Compartment Package? is a retractable privacy screen that automatically extends to cover cargo when the tailgate closes and retracts into a hidden compartment.

No, I just have the manual tonneau cover. I actually don't want the automatic system. More shit to go wrong and just doesn't fit my use case with large bulky things in the trunk all the time. If you need the manual cover I have it as well. IIRC it SHOULD be included with the car as standard, but I'm not 100% sure.

I did that with the Audi.

EVs are completely sold out at YVR Avis / Hertz this month, who is renting these?
They have everything else available and even C300 and A4 are super cheap (40/day)... but EVs are sold out.

Huh, I wonder if that'll apply to Canada as well.
They are so damn cheap now with Richmond VW advertising 99/w leases. Sure it's not actually going to be $400/m but even at $600/m it's an insane deal.

Legitimately $450/m I would then seriously consider it. The range is honestly not great and doesn't really serve my needs. It's basically a big extended city runabout, but it's built like it's meant for road trips, doesn't fit here nor there.
