Car stuff
Looks like I may be getting a different (better?) car.
D has lost his license for about a year due to stupidity and won't be getting it back till sometime in December. In the next couple weeks/month, he's planning to move out to Saskatoon for a job out there. Rather then deal with all of the headaches of moving a car he can't drive, registering it in saskatchewan, etc. He instead wants to swap cars with me, sell my 2001 chevy cavalier and use the money to buy a vehicle when he gets his license back, while I get the 1992 toyota camry that he has now.
1992 Camry history
-Bought in late 1991/early-mid? 1992
-Was used for several years by parent as main car. Running joke at the time was that the car was getting insufficient exercise/use.
-Approx 2004 or so, was given to D as he was commuting to school.
Cavalier history
-Bought Oct 2000.
-So far; has had part of the steering column replaced (key suddenly no longer worked for the ignition), there have been other problems, but I can't recall them at the moment.
-According to the dealer, my cavalier needs to be in the shop for a checkup approx 4-5 months.
Pros
-It's a Toyota, which means it isn't the chevy that I have now which has given me plenty of grief and headaches.
Cons
-It's was made in 1992, still runs great though. How relevant this is, I have no idea.
-Not sure how much mileage it has on it at the moment. My cavalier has approx 50,000km on it.
-No idea what paperwork/registration is involved, though it should all be very minimal.
In short, I know next to nothing about cars and am wondering if I'm missing anything.
