my limited knowledge of this vehicle is that it is safe, but unreliable, and boring to drive.

Any transverse engined SUV will be pretty boring to drive.

Problem with volvo of this particular generation is always transmission and the seal between it and the engine.

Not that many 7 seaters SUV of in this era.. the other is the Disco which is even worse in reliability.

Not sure if this and been posted already as I don't frequent this thread. Outside of the gigantic fridge on the front - what a sleeper! For me the price is a little on the high side especially considering you could get a nicely equipped rhd supra among other things for that money.

^ I believe the owner that boosted it was local and owns an auto repair shop in Langley. Forcefed was involved with the work on it when it was here. You are saying it went to the US afterwards and then came back up?

Why would the Infiniti dealership have a brand new 2015 Brabus S63? Kind of weird.

canceled lease maybe?

someone told me an auto group that carries different brands under their banner might shift inventory around to generate sales interest? sometimes it could even be from another province. i'm not sure... i still remember going to burrard acura and finding a near new camaro ss sitting on the showroom floor

Probably one of the best cars Suzuki has ever made.

2003 Suzuki Aerio Fastback M/T Local BC Car One owner 170,000 KM

The instrument panel looks similar to a certain Japanese front-mid engine roadster

sprint/firefly turbos come in at a close second, but they tend to suffer from shoestring budgets... but there are still a few good ones out there though:

The Swift GT and firefly are great cars. The firefly turbo is definitely a hidden gem.

While we're at it, a toyota starlet GT is a nice option as well. Always had a soft spot for these cars and they're a fun little cars:



Temped to buy one as a daily as I bet they can't be that expensive to import.

Ahhhhhhhh the Swift, i remember back in the day when my dad used to have one. It was hilariously agile and although it wasn't the prettiest thing my dad had fun with it. I'm gonna bring it up to him next time I talk to him

Ive read that the shitty canadian currency will stay or even go as low as .75 for the rest of the year. Very very bad year for buying cars down south.


I actually found 2 NSX that's just been hiding for the past 4-5 years. Its a combo deal the black one is complete (150k miles) while the red is a parts car (50k miles). Next week I'm going to do an oil change and start it up inspect if the frame is good and if it is it will be a done deal!
