For the most part I agree completely on say a manual or car that is clearly unmaintained but an auto high performance luxury rwd sedan I'd say it's an alright comment. ie. Non tracked or probably redlined often if at all.....this statement shant apply to women who can heeltoe me under the table in heels

But my mom and most family members who are female are religious with their maintenance and only will take it to a dealer for service on time for fear their warranty will be void if they don't. Unlike many of my idiot male friends who would rather hit lube city and forget to check if they replaced the dipstick or not

On the flipside, I looked at a "lady driven" car awhile back with a friend. 2 years old, 11k kms, price was a steal. What I saw was a different story. The car never had been back to the dealership for service (not even an oil change) since she bought it new. Didn't think it was necessary she said, because "it ran fine", and it was like the first time she noticed the "service required" dash light when we pointed it out to her. Two badly curb rashed alloy wheels with a chunk of sidewall missing out of one. All four corners of the car had bumper rash because it was clear she couldn't park worth a damn. Had this little yappy lap dog pissed and scratched everything up... I could go on.


Dont forget the manicure marks on the door handles. Its like wolverine drove the car.

same here... With no registration/title, how do you prove ownership? is just a bill of sale enough? or is this an insurance writeoff that is salvage only?

I would think you can start by getting VIN and running a carfax on it to see where it originated and go from there. Maybe you can get some papers from Province or State that it first registered?

I mean how can it be 'missing' unless it is stolen or something? But it's a dealer so you think he would have done that already. You could probably part it out for more than asking price.

I was going to say a US car, but then I saw the kmh speedo. it might have been sold and exported to US when the dollar was down and now it came back titleless.
Apparently it's a lot of trouble to lose a US state title and trying to re-register a car.
Shady car. Surprised Jakob's is posting it up given their reputation in the Porsche community in lower mainland. And the front tire is bald as f*k..

I would never ever consider cars where women HAVE to put "Lady Driven" in it's ad description. Half the time, these Ladies don't know what the fuck the difference between the left signal is and the right signal is. Guess how much care actually goes into the car is. Basically 0. I find this especially bad with older white ladies for some reason. It's like one of those "My husband will take care of it" type deals.

Some older Asian ladies don't know how to drive for shit, yeah, but at least they are super paranoid and go to the dealer for every single fucking thing, even their morning coffee and Ming Pao and possibly free pineapple buns.

the title being "missing" on a 10 year old car seems sketchy as hell, I'd want them to have some sort of paperwork to back up why it doesn't have a title. I'd be fine buying a car that can't be insured but I'd want to be 100% sure it's not stolen or something.
