Canadian Cars at US$ Prices www.bowmanauto.com

Well with all the reports in the media and consumer pressure over the past few months we've been seeing some dramatic price pressure on the Canadian car values. Things have already begun to equal out on used vehicles now sold in Canada.

Some cars are already dramatically cheaper in Canada than in the US.

Here is an example:

We currently have in stock (see the above picture) a 2004 Buick Regal LS with 62,000kms on it. Our price is $10,990 CAD. The same car in California at Wally Edgar Chevrolet Buick, with the same option package and very similar mileage, is $13990. That's over 20% cheaper here at Bowman's Auto Sales in Canada.

Another Example:

2004 Chevrolet Cavalier at Bowman's Auto Sales is $7990 CAD. Again the same car in California at John Hall Chevrolet is $12,000. That's 35% cheaper here at Bowman's Auto Sales in Canada.

The message from this is shop around and you'll find that many cars in Canada are better priced than those in the US. Check our website at http://www.bowmanauto.com/ before you look south and remember if we don't have it we can get it.

Consumer Reports names best used cars for every budget

Bend Weekly News for Bend Oregon

I don't always agree with Consumer Reports because I really don't see an easy comparison between say at 2003 Chevy Cavalier with remaining factory warranty and a 1997 Toyota Tercel with no warranty at the same price. Even the comparison between any 2003 car and a 1997 car is really out there to me.

Using their 2006 Annual Car Reliability Survey is in my opinion not the best source for actual reliability statistics.

The fact is car reliability has improved over the past several years at a remarkable rate. When buying a used vehicle my advice would be to always buy the newest car with the lowest mileage for the money. Even Honda's and Toyota's need more maintenace above 100,000kms then most cars below 100,000kms and even minor repairs can cost a considerable amount more.
