godsend, if you check the Vancouver (or surround area) yellow pages under Automotive there is a huge section on the do's and don'ts of buying new or used. Alot of good advise. Toyota dealerships have a wonderful philosophy, the price you see is the price you pay.
Good luck.

I like to crawl around in a back alley with frozen toes and fingers, buy something, then find out what needs to fixed later. That's not good car-buying advice, but it does keep your mechanical learning curve growing.
If you can buy something with a warranty, that's generally good. Get the warranty in writing. Try to go to a new car dealer instead of a strictly used dealer. Do a lien search. Get a mechanic to check it out.

Quoting
I have had great experiences buying used Seabrings off the lot that people get rid of after their three year lease runs out. I bought my last one for under 15K (I think) with 45k and it. I bought a 2 year extended warranty and I haven’t had to use it. I must admit, I’m very partial to these cars.
If you have any previous (bad/good) experiences, plz share with us? Any tips, advices, or anything that would alert my awareness would be appreciated. 
cheers!
cheers!
My wife rented one of those nice ride but that small gas tank was a pain in the ass had to fill up three time just to get down to the coast and back

You can often make more money by raising prices and selling less....
I had a look at their prices when I was in the market, and they were priced outside of reach for me. The main selling point on a lot of their vehicles is they tend to hold their value, whereas other manufactures vehicle prices plummet when it's time to resell them.
