2008 Chevy Aveo (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Good afternoon /c/cars.

I'm looking to get my first car and I want to get some opinions. I'm thinking of buying a 2008 Chevy Aveo with safety certificate and the price is $2500 CAD. I'm interested to see what you all have to say about this particular vehicle, if you have any personal experience with it or any gripes.

Any help is appreciated

Thank you

That's an awfully old badge engineered Daewoo. Unless there are compelling reasons why you're looking at that particular car, you'd probably do better getting something Japanese or Korean. If you want domestic, go for a mid size sedan or a depreciated semi luxury sedan like a Buick.

Unless you really need a car, save up and get something newer.

My main reason is that it was the cheapest thing I can find that comes with a safety. Most hondas and Toyotas of the same year are double the price without a safety.

What is a "safety"?

There's a reason the Hondas and toyotas are double.

Safety is having to pass a multipoint check in this province to be able to be registered.
