Yeah for sure. They bought my 4runner at the price I paid for it four years ago, and sold this 2023 for significantly less than the previous owner paid. Plus, I paid a grand total of about $4500 in tax.

And yeah, paying half price for a house on the island compared to Vancouver is how I can have cars.

At least it’s not a beetle. Taycan looks much more interesting ! Although still beetle-like, the front end is much more eye pleasing

There's a saying I hear all the time in Toronto when they talk about Vancouver.

You're either already rich, or you're a drug dealer.

Badhobz is both.

i ended up with a Ford Everest in Melbourne, a X3 35i in Perth, and a lousy Mitsu Outlander in Gold Coast.

Worst by far was the outlander, then everest, and the x3 was decent.

The X3's safety systems were annoying though like lane keep would jerk the wheel randomly at times, and also flash errors like BRAKE BRAKE BRAKE for no reason. Also wireless car play died a few times on the x3 but not as much as it died on the mitsu, which was basically just trash on wheels.


Ford Everest: randomly tells me to keep my hands on the wheel even though both my hands were on the wheel. Kept giving me a fatigue warning too. diesel was fun until its not, the clankering gets annoying and if you pair it with start/stop its a fucking disaster. Rode like an ox cart, especially on the bad roads around Melbourne. Got sea sick driving to the 12 Apostles


Mitsu Outlander: The brake was nothing, nothing, then full lock. It was very hard to modulate. The steering was way too vague, and the transmission was lethargic and dimwitted. Interior was utter garbage, seats were uncomfortable and the apple car play would die 1 out of every 4 times you use it. Considering the car only had 1000kms on it when i got it, you would expect a better product. No wonder mitsubishi is dead in north america, this product is absolute dog shit.

not sure what it was with bmw and wireless car play. mine disconnects and i have to re-pair it every few weeks. its a known problem and bmw's answer is "it is what it is". i wonder if its fixed in their lci products.

meanwhile the $300 wireless car play on my amazon unit on the e46 has never disconnected even with a battery swap it stayed paired.

^ Same with my Supra, heaven forbid I ever turn the wifi off for any reason and then back on again, then try to reconnect... have to go through the entire pairing process again. If the car is already running/you're driving forget that too, need to pull over and turn the car off lol
