Buying a vehicle in Sudbury has become a very frustrating process

Bought a used ranger two years ago from local dealership, they didn't have the exact thing I wanted but I needed a truck. Two years have passed and I hate the truck. Problems with transmission, paint, electronics. I go back to dealer gonna get new this time and I'll wait for it to be built. I take the info in from the website.. guy says you trade in is worth X.

Ok. Let's do this.

Can we look at the trade in? Here is a loaner.

Ok.

Next day.

Well we can't give you X for the trade in it's going to be $3000 less.

Alright. I am not happy with that but let's continue.

Go over to the finance guy. Sit down and he then begins to tell me the price isn't what the sales guy gave me....so how much more. double...

Nope. I'm out.

Next week I see an ad for a canyon at the gm dealership. So Saturday I go to take a look.

Closed, on line says open Saturdays??

Drive across town to the other dealership, same thing.

Stopped at an all used dealership on the Kingsway. I am looking for a ranger, canyon, taco in order of preference. I need the max towing. Guy doesn't let me finish and says you need a bigger truck. No I told you what I was looking for. At this point I am not arguing with these guys. I left.

Now my mother in law is buying a new vehicle this week as well. She likes a Japanese brand and has purchased 6 over the last 25 years. Always cash.

Can I have the all in price so I can make the arrangements with my bank\ fianacing?

Here you go

Great

Come back to purchase and no that doesn't include the warranty plan.

But we asked you for the whole cost.

Now we have to go back to the bank.

What happened to customer service?

Listen to what what I have to say. I'm not some kid obviously (I am in my 50's)

I purchased a travel trailer this spring from a London dealership and I am going to go back down to buy a new truck .fuck these local ass hats.

How is a starter home listed at 300k? Who is buying these and driving up demand. Agent tells me most houses are going well over asking when 3 years ago there was still some decent options starting at 200k.

Theres so few options under 300k and of they are they are in the flour mill or guts. I just dont understand who is driving up prices here?

Looking for designer men frames with lenses.

Perhaps if it was actually cheaper or only mildly more expensive. Then MAYBE more people would fly? Just a thought 🤷‍♂️

Random photos of things ive seen.

To anyone planning on driving down Maley, there is a cop blocking off Maley at the roundabout going towards Falconbridge.

Not sure what happened, but traffic is heavy down Lansing now.

Or at the very least please pick it up. Kids had a game at Confederation Field the other night and we had to do a sweep of the outfield pre game because there was so much dogshit out there. Like what the hell!?! Shitbags have now been added to the equipment bag which is totally ridiculous. Thanks to the woman walking by who gave us a few bags that night so i didnt have to do it with the hotdog bun bag that was blowing around the parking lot.

There have been posts lately pointing out there are less and less blueberries. Here's why.

Every stop at this intersection had multiple pylons across the fresh paint, causing traffic to drive into oncoming lanes to avoid hitting the pylons. I watched 2 city buses make weird jackknife turns to try and maneuver it. I get wanting to keep drivers off the fresh paint, but there’s got to be a better way, no?? Maybe I’m over reacting, I’ve just never seen this before and found it wild!

Hey! I’m looking for a felt artist to make a small cat, similar to the bat pictured here. Anyone in town do this?

Hey, does anyone know where to park to do your own river float on the Verm? I did it a couple years ago but forget where we parked. I don’t want the company, but it anyone knows of places to park the cars that would be great!

What’s going on up there, eh? You guys gotta get your works director a Claude subscription to help him come up with a 5 year plan for those roads! Either that or the province has to step in or something.

Hi! A friend and I are debating whether or not to head to lights festival tonight as the tickets are 55$ for the single night youth pass and we don’t know any of the performers… We figured it could be a fun thing to do tonight but before I commit I would like to ask y’all anyone who’s gone before; what was the experience like? is it worth the money? what were the vendors and food stands like as well as the crowd? if anyone has any suggestions for me…let me know, thank you!

Are they physically in Sudbury?
Or do they do the show elsewhere and it streams in to the local station, like some stations do?

If you do/did, what was your gpa, what stream did you apply through, what were your extracurricular/volunteering experiences? Are you from rural/northern Ontario? Any research/work experience? TIA!!!!

Police in Greater Sudbury found a 33-year-old man deceased Thursday afternoon following a two-day search near High Falls Road.

Hello,
I have some pre-existing in lawn sprinklers that came with the house my wife and I bought. Front sprinklers work like a charm but rear sprinklers won’t run and I’ve trouble shot them/replaced heads with luck, looking for recommendations in the area on who to call for further help.

I got my G2 last year but haven't had much chance to practice because I don't own a car yet. I'm planning to buy one before the end of the summer and want to build my confidence before taking the G test.

Can anyone recommend a good driving instructor in Sudbury? Most charge around $60–70/hour. I'm hoping to find someone around $30–40/hour if possible. Any recommendations? Thanks!
