Anyone else experience this or is it just because I’m a Pisces?

From Vancouver to Nanaimo 🚗🌊

Carrie had just moved back from Ontario and needed reliable wheels to help her get back on the road, find work, and enjoy island life again. She was on a tight budget and pension income, and while her credit was pretty thin, the bank still saw enough positives to say yes 🙌

We got her approved on a brand new 2026 Mitsubishi RVR ES FWD at just 2.07% interest.

After delivery, I spent the afternoon checking out the marina and grabbing some fish & chips before heading back to Vancouver.

Like I said, I’ll deliver right to you. 📍

Message me if you’re anywhere in BC and want to see what options are available for you.

Customer of the Week 🚗

I worked with Faith over a few weeks to find the right fit for her situation. She had never financed a vehicle before and was used to keeping older cash cars running, but with her music career taking her all over Vancouver Island she needed something reliable, affordable, and a way to start building her credit.

We found the perfect match with a 2020 Kia Soul. Just as important as the vehicle itself, we structured the deal to keep her payments comfortable while helping her establish and grow her credit.

My goal with every client is to make the buying process as smooth and stress free as possible. Most of this was handled remotely so everything was set up ahead of time. All she had to do was show up, sign, and drive away.

If you are looking for something reliable, affordable, and want to build your credit the right way, I can help guide you through it step by step.

I also offer delivery anywhere in BC if getting to Vancouver is not convenient.

Stay tuned for upcoming deliveries to Kelowna and Mackenzie.

If I had bad credit and kept getting declined for a car… this is what I’d fix first:

Stop the bleeding
No more missed payments. No new collections.
Bring anything current if you can and keep it that way.
Fix your credit utilization
If your cards are maxed, that’s killing your score.
Get them down under 30% (even 50% is a big step).
Focus on income before a car
A vehicle doesn’t fix your situation if the income isn’t there.
Stable, provable income is what actually gets approvals.
Stop shopping your credit
Every application = another hit.
Multiple inquiries in a short time makes lenders back off.

Do this consistently for 3–6 months and you’ll be in a completely different position.

Most people rush it and pay for it with higher rates or declines.

Build first. Then apply properly.

DM me today with any questions on how to build credit so you can get the vehicle you want!

History in the making

Gas in Vancouver is sitting at $2.15/L. How much higher does it need to go?

At some point it stops making sense to stay tied to fluctuating fuel prices. EVs and PHEVs give you control back. Charge at home, spend less, and stop stressing every time prices spike.

Example: this Toyota Prius PHEV is only $125/week. That is basically a tank of gas right now.

So the real question is, are you paying for gas or paying for your own car?

DM me “EV” to see your options.

📕 Story time: I do a lot of remote car deals to the interior and sometimes things don’t go according to plan… here’s what happened and how we fixed it 😵‍💫

What does an $8000 claim actually look like?
This is it.

Just a cracked front bumper from a minor fender bender. No sensors, no major damage, just an RVR ES bumper.

But between parts, paint, labour, and tax, it still adds up to around $8000 through insurance.

So when you see a “minor claim” on a Carfax, it doesn’t always mean the vehicle had serious damage. Sometimes it’s just how expensive even simple repairs have become.
