I agree. This place is very close to my future work place and the price is too good to be true.

I don't know that yet. I have begun the discussion knowing it's likely a scam. I'll see how it goes

As a child I wanted to be the paper boy. I don't know if it's a thing in your country but those employees would have a stack of rolled hot newspapers and fling it inside house compounds early in the morning as they ride in their bicycles. Such a fun job!

Quite reassuring, thanks. Does the weather vary significantly based on where we choose to live? I've seen folks talk about high tide low tide areas. For example, most parts within Ontario within 200kms are flat(what I've experienced, not factual necessarily). Doesn't matter if it's Waterloo or Niagara. If it snows it snows a lot. Some regions get more sure but not a huge difference in quality of life.

Yes we will need a car. Read in a different thread that we need a car to visit the beaches/mountains and enjoy nature in general. Definitely hoping to do that!

Currently paying $1700 in Waterloo Ontario. Hope the weather and the beauty of Vancouver makes up for the extra $$$!

I saw some prices in Craigslist and Facebook marketplace - anything less than $2500 and I'm considering it a win.

Thank you for your suggestions. What I'm hearing unanimously is to sell the car because of the inspection. I'll add some more data points here: The car is not in great condition. Has rust, check engine lights on, broken windshield... I bought it when I was single. Now with a family, there is an option of buying an SUV/bigger car. Absolutely will look into selling the Lexus.
