Buying a car and getting scammed

Well... the story about our car has been the most frustrating one so far...

I started looking into the car market already before coming to Canada and now thinking about it, it was a good idea. It is something different than in Europe and when coming here you do have to realise that! The market here is loaded with trucks (pick up trucks) and SUV´s. Took me a while to understand, but thing is gas is cheaper here, so loads of cars here are 3L+. Also I guess one of the reasons why so many people are driving are driving so big cars is because of the mental reason of trying to protect themselves of the same big cars they are buying. Probably still the best place to buy used car is Kijiji, but to get the idea of the car prices might be AutoTrader. I would have wanted to get a van, but the price of those is really high and there is not that many for sale. So you would end up paying so much more than it is actually worth.

This is where stupid Blogger made disappear my few hours of work, even though I did hit save button ONLY LIKE 3 TIMES...

Anyways I will then write quickly what I remember I had...


We did ended up buying SUV, GMC Jimmy and the reason for it was condition compared to other similar cars available, good reviews (only problem was fuel economy, but we knew that already) and being able to use it as a camper as well due to the size.

But here´s the story of buying the car and what happened next:

And how our car got broken into 3 TIMES (almost week between each):

Please let me know if you have tips and ideas how to improve my editing using GoPro Studio. And I know they are maybe bit too long :)

We are planning to move by the end of this month. Have been applying in different places, but mostly been looking around Banff area. Canadian employers take their sweet time sometimes, so been a slow progress, but progress non-the-less. I did just accept a chefs position in Kananaskis, now we are waiting for them to contact Liis. For some reason front desks are slower and most likely they receive more applications as well. So hoping for the best now...

PS! Canada did just legalise recreational use of cannabis, not so much is still known about it other than few government approved shops and online governmental stores, with some weird identification system. The medical cannabis has been legal for long time now and there is plenty of proof that it does have lots of uses. In the example of US it has provided the government with incremental tax revenue boos, but has brought up few other issues, mostly regulatory. Anyways only time will tell how Canada is effected by it, but for sure it will boost the governmental budget and create many other jobs...
