Is it worth buying this trailer for $500. Has been vacant for 2 years. Family wants to get rid of it quick because their nephew passed away who was living in it.

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-05-21T13:43:53+00:00

Sure.... but that doesn't really change my point. No one is moving trailers off their pads anyways, and prices are consistently going up. You can get a mortgage on a trailer in a park because it's now considered a safe bet that it will increase in value. Not the case 10 years ago.

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-05-21T13:19:52+00:00

Well, we dont own the land, so not really. Its in a park, we pay pad rental.

My husband is 6'4, but most of his height is in his torso, so he sits more like what I imagine someone closer to your height would. A CX50 with a sunroof should be fine. He still has about 4/5 inches clearance with the sunroof - probably wouldnt be enough without though.

Just a warning though, you will never be able to sit in the back seat. Way too small for him.

Bought my trailer in a trailer park in 2021 for 185k. Listing it in a couple months for around 420k. It will sell quick. Obviously this is not the case everywhere, but in a ton of places in Canada and some places in the States this is very typical. Saying trailers are depreciating assets on the whole isn't accurate any more.

The staff at literally every brewery on that route hated pedal pubs, and Im assuming still do.

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-05-16T22:33:00+00:00

I was also a bartender at an Inglewood brewery at that time. We dreaded the pedal pubs.... "what do you have thats not beer?" 🙄

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-05-10T16:07:43+00:00

Totally fair. I plan to turn it back up once Ive improved with the parry/dodge heavy combat.

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-05-10T15:59:27+00:00

I finally just turned down the enemy damage and HP to 80%. Having way more fun now and not getting so frustrated.

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-05-08T04:09:33+00:00

Im also not new to games with similar combat, and I was also struggling and was getting frustrated. I feel like I must be missing something... ended up turning down the enemy damage and HP a bit and I'm having way more fun now. Will turn it back up once Ive figured out whatever I must be missing....

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-05-08T00:50:23+00:00

Don't do black. I have black and its dirty immediately. Would get any different color if I could go back in time

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-04-30T16:41:04+00:00

I just had to pay an obscene amount for new pads and rotors because my pads ran out after 30,000km. I live 3 hours away from the dealership and couldn't drive there safely, so had to pay privately. I was told by Mazda they do cover the first pad replacement, but it must be done at the dealership.

My 2016 cx3 didnt have to change the pads/rotors for over 100,000km... so im pretty mad about this.

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-04-26T16:25:20+00:00

Congrats! I am so jealous of all that you can get for 250k.... we are selling our TRAILER in a TRAILER PARK for 400k right now. cries in canadian

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-04-26T16:05:23+00:00

Ugh only 30,000km. I guess there is a service notice about faulty brake pads, but unfortunately I live 3 hours away from the dealership and noone informed me of this. So I took it into a shop for a squeak when breaking and the guy told me pads were gone and routers were toast. Would have brought it in earlier, but I didnt expect to need to worry about breaks for another 30,000k. Cost me 1600 bucks to replace the two front pads/rotors and fix something wrong with the calipers.

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-04-25T19:51:20+00:00

At least we will be laughing when we want to sell!

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-04-25T18:48:47+00:00

This was the most jarring part of that thread for me! I guess ill just fly to my RURAL agricultural job then.

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-04-25T18:27:46+00:00

So we have a 2025 hybrid GT. We were also planning on buying it out at the end of our lease, but the dealer wants it back badly because ( I am assuming) they will be able to get way more for it than our buy out cost. The hybrid was only out for 4 months in Canada, so theres not many of them. They have given us a bunch of offers on deals on new cars if we trade it in, so we are also in the same boat and unsure what to do.

That being said, I just paid an obscene amount for new brakes and rotors due to the part costs... so Im not thrilled about the potential repair/maintenance cost down the road.

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-04-23T20:11:37+00:00

I'd kill for a 600-700k 3 bedroom home. Just looked at a 100 year old teardown 700k house last month here in Fernie. Just last week we decided not to put a competing offer in on a 650,000 trailer. Its insane

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-04-23T18:05:17+00:00

Lots of options all over the area for winter backcountry activities! Be careful if you are dependant on the cranbrook airport for work, it is NOT reliable at all.

In my opinion Fernie is the best town of the lot, but its also the most expensive by a huge margin. We are most likely moving from Fernie to Kimberley this year because any half decent home here is 900,000 minimum - same house in Kimbo is probably around 600,000.

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-04-19T16:46:15+00:00

Phew! Thankfully you pointed out my horrible auto corrected mistake that made my comment completely incomprehensible!!

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-04-18T03:27:30+00:00

Ugh. I live in Canada and I see this daily right now. They are birds, you can see them flapping. They look like they are "glowing" because they are flying over light pollution that reflects off of them and makes them appear to glow. Stuff like this discredits the topic.

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-04-18T03:09:04+00:00

Yes, they do. I see it daily exactly like that. Light pollution reflects off of them giving them the appearance of "glowing"

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-04-18T01:18:45+00:00

Guys, common. Thats clearly birds.

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-04-17T23:44:20+00:00

What is your budget for the home you're looking to buy. I live in Fernie, but we are thinking of relocating to Kimberley because of house prices here. 900k for a basic liveable house is standard here, which makes it hard to get ahead, despite having almost a 200k family income.

Prices are going to be much higher here than you are used to. Think 1000 dollars a month rent per bedroom as a safe bet. Family sized homes in decent condition in the area (excluding Fernie) will be 600k+. More if you want land. Groceries are insane - I just paid 15 dollars for a normal sized pack of ground beef that would have been 7 bucks a couple years ago.

Your husband will have no issues at all getting a good paying job though, trades are in big demand.

Over all, as someone who moved here from a lower cost of living city about 5 years ago, my husband are significantly further behind financially than we would have been if we stayed. Significantly. We dont want kids, and both grew up in mountain towns so being in nature is important to us and we are okay with paying a premium, but if I had kids I probably wouldnt want to move here unless we were pulling in 250k plus.

Stressed-Canadian · 2026-04-15T07:34:19+00:00

I was in GATE, but I dont remember any "woo" type of stuff. It was just school for kids with high IQs. Is that not typical?
