Hi guys ! I’m from Canada, and I need some advices on buying my first car. My budget is under 5k. What models/car brands are reliable ? Also, what do I need to verify and ask the seller ? Thanks a lot !

    i don’t think it qualifies as that reliable if rust killed it only 4 years later. car bodies can usually last decades…

    unless it had serious unseen rust issues beforehand, or you were driving it in salt all the time.

      It had a dead transmission when I bought it, poor thing did not get a wash after winter.

      My Audi that I’ve been driving for 8 years gets her belly washed every month. No rust in sight so far.
