I am adding "pneu dhivers" to my daily lexicon.

[MetroMPG]

Not only is it fun to say, but you get to say it often when reading ads from Quebec!

Snows have been mandatory there for a couple of years.

Yes, sometimes the "PNEU's" may be the only valued value in the cheap beaters sold BUT this SWIFT actually looks good!
Now, if it was closer than 2,000 miles, as in MILES �� !

Is "pneu dhivers" French Canadian for "guitars?" As in "has four guitars..."

I keep finding these great deals, all posted days, and sometimes weeks after they have sold. Does Craigslist have some glitch that keeps stuff up after it is taken down ?
This is getting frustrating.

I may go look at this one:

Great little car, 1.5L Motor has a timing chain NO TIMING BELT so no costly belt change coming, these little motors run forever. Great on gas! Car is in Good shape, Plain Jane No power anything roll down your windows and lock your own door, nothing to go wrong. Great commuter car, Moving so must sell has set of All season tires on rims and winters on rims. Have service records from original owner been looked after

I contacted the seller who says it's being daily driven & has no issues. Only odd thing is it was advertised initially at $2k including the mandatory mechanical inspection. Now it's $1250 and the inspection isn't mentioned. I'll go check it out if it doesn't sell first.

Oooh its the hatch. We never got the hatch here in the US.

Uncanny resemblance to the xA.
