With the Canadian election on the horizon, I am in the position where I have a job with Elections Canada for about 6 weeks. This job is about 20km from my home, so not having a car becomes a huge inconvenience. I live close enough to my regular job that I just bike to work, or take the bus if the weather sucks. Therefore, I'm really not interested in continuing to pay for a car after the election period. I reach out to you fine goons to help me decide whether it is worth it to buy a used car that I would use for two months, and then sell. I understand I would have to pay HST as well as registration fees, though I'm not exactly sure how much they would be. Renting a car for the same period would cost about $1500, plus $25/day or something like that for the insurance. I'm also only 24, so I would imagine there would be some newb tax on top of that. Biking/bussing is also a last resort, since either one of those would take about 3 hours out of my day. So far, I've looked at cars in the under $5000 range, and I like the look of this 2005 Saturn Ion: http://www.carpages.ca/used/2005/Sa.../Ontario/673837 I know I could probably get something cheaper too, but looking at all of those cheap cars scares me, since I don't know much about cars, and don't know how reliable they will be. So what do you goons think? Would this be a smart move, or do you think I would end up spending too much money on fees and taxes? What other options do you think I would have? Thanks in advance.
