I bought a "new" used car a year ago in August. The car I had been driving for a number of years before that had been written off by my insurance provider, but was still quite functional, even though there was no hood seal, and people would sometimes gesticulate wildly at me thinking my hood was open when it was not, and it was also securely closed so no worries there about it suddenly or unexpectedly flying open while I am driving around. Any ways.
I know what a hassle looking for a car can be, because the good ones get snapped up so fast it makes your head spin. One time when I was looking for a new car, I enlisted the aid of someone who seemed willing to help, but all he did was steal from me. So the next time I bought a car, I just went for it, and bought the first one I went to look at. That was the one I just got rid of last year. I did the same for this car I have now, and it was my first ever dealership experience, which was great. They really looked after me, took me to the bank so they could take all the money I was willing to give them (LOL it was certainly considerably more than what cars were worth pre-COVID, but then so is everything else!!!), bought me breakfast while I was waiting for some appointment to deal with paperwork etc and then the nice young man who sold me the car came out to the house later in the afternoon, switched out my plates for me, and drove the old car away. They even paid my taxi fare to get there in the first place to look at the car.
When I phoned the dealership before our first snowfall here late last year to see if there was anti-freeze in the car, he remembered who I was. I asked him what they did with the old car (partly because I could have gotten $$ for it if I'd turned it over to our insurance guys [the government]) but I felt better about not doing that when he told me it had been donated to the kidney foundation.
My now new car had just over 106,000 kms on it when I bought it and now has just over 109,000 because I don't drive as much as I did before. That's under 70,000 miles. The dealership guy was getting calls all day about it but it was mine all mine LOL. From before he even got to work that day! Keep checking the online ads and find a car make model and year you want and just go for it. That one car I bought and got rid of last year had 173,000 kms on it when I bought it, but Toyotas are a great brand and their engines last a long time. Get something you can trust.
