The sun is out, the temperature is heating up, and most of us are using any excuse we can to get out of the house and enjoy these precious few months of sweet, sweet summer.
There are festivals to attend, patios to drink on, and road trips to take after all. But let's get real for a second and say you don't have a car to get to any of these magical places this sunny season. Chances are, you'll be cramped between a screaming two-year-old and someone who forgot to use deodorant that morning on the Green Line instead. So why not avoid that altogether and consider buying yourself a car instead?
@ciaomiranda12I know, I know... "Well, I can't afford a car, Jen." But I'm here to tell you, you can! While the price of many cars out there can rival the price of a house, or at least a down payment on one, there are a few that - I promise you - are actually affordable. And thanks to local dealership Spinelli, you've got a ton of choices when it comes to finding the perfect set of wheels on a budget.
Here are some great choices to start you off with:
2007 Honda Civic - $5,625
Dealership: Spinelli Honda Lachine
Get this all-black, two-door 2007 Honda Civic Coupe to match your all-black outfits. Its spacious interior can easily fit five passengers, and its 6-speed manual transmission is equipped with a petrol engine that will provide you with 10.2L/100KM in the city and 6.8L on the highway. Oh, and it's only $5,625, meaning you can spend more time actually driving the car than saving for it.
2013 Ford Focus
Dealership: Spinelli Honda Lachine
$39 a week is all you need to make this sleek black-on-black Ford Focus SE work for you. $39 is pretty much the cost of how much you'd spend on public transportation every week in Montreal, so scrap your cramped morning commute and spend that money on a car that can drive you there instead. The Ford Focus SE has sporty handling for a compact car and boasts five doors, so your five passengers don't have to climb over each other every time you drive them somewhere. This baby is also a 6-speed manual transmission vehicle with a FlexFuel engine that will give you 7.8L/100KM in the city and 5.5L on the highway.
2013 Mazda 3
Dealership: Spinelli Kia Roxboro
Prefer automatics? This 2013 Mazda 3 is only $9,998 and has low mileage. It's got power door locks, mirrors, and windows, so you don't have to worry about dislocating your shoulder every time you need a little air. This black interior/exterior Mazda also has four windows and can seat five passengers.
2012 Honda Civic
Dealership: Spinelli Kia Roxboro
Get something practically new with this automatic 2012 Honda. It's black on the outside, grey on the inside, and has four doors with a capacity of five passengers. When winter hits, this Honda Civic also has ABS brakes to ensure you're ready to hit the roads even in winter's toughest conditions.
2014 Hyundai Accent
Dealership: Spinelli Toyota Lachine
This trustyHyundai Accent comes with a boatload of features: Heated seats, Bluetooth, remote keyless entry, and remote trunk release. It has all the drivability you'd want in a Hyundai with all the comfort you've come to expect with the brand, too.
2008 Dodge Avenger
Dealership: Spinelli Toyota Lachine
This low-priced Dodge Avenger has low mileage to match with only 88,235KM under its belt. It's automatic, has heated seats, includes Bluetooth and starts automatically - meaning your winters will be a little less cold thanks to this bad boy!
2014 Toyota Yaris
Dealership: Spinelli Toyota Lachine
This one is technically slightly over $10,000, but would you really let $101 come between you and this beautiful blue car? Its exterior is a rare colour called "wave line pearl", and yes, it's as nice as it sounds. And not only is this 2014 Toyota Yaris good looking, it's also safe and practical too. It's automatic and packed with features like ABS brakes, Bluetooth and remote keyless entry.
Which one did you picture yourself driving this summer? If you didn't particularly take to any of them, don't worry, Spinelli has lots of other cars at incredible prices that will fit your taste and budget.
Their dealership sells new and used vehicles from some of Asia's leading manufacturers like Kia, Honda, Nissan, Infiniti, Toyota, Mazda and Lexus that can get you from point A to B fast and without trouble. Imagine rocking up to work not looking like a sweaty mess because you just spent an hour on the metro with no A/C. Or actually turning up to lunch with friends on time because you didn't have to wait for the bus, which turned out to be 10 minutes late, like always.
