In Canada late model car theft is a huge issue, especially in the Greater Toronto Area.
Thieves will usually use a signal extender or something to take advantage of the keyless go and drive away, usually driven to a port in Quebec IIRC where they are then shipped to Africa or the Middle East where they’re resold.
Just two weeks ago $60 million in stolen cars were recovered (article)), I hear about people’s cars being stolen from work parking lots, know of people on my street who have had attempts to steal their cars.
Most commonly stolen cars are probably Toyota/Honda SUVs and pickups.
The 2024 one? I’m seriously considering a hybrid one. Care to elaborate why is it a “lemon”? (Never heard this expression too ahah)
No, it’s a 2018. Bought it off a friend who said it was in perfect shape, except he doesn’t know anything about cars.
Oil dilution, broken door latch actuator, bad wheel bearing, CVT judder, engine/trans vibration at idle.
Honestly, I hate the car and regret buying it.
Shows you what your friend thought of you. I’m using past tense because I’m assuming you’re not friends with them anymore after this.
They may not know cars, but they’ll know that a car is in bad shape.
