I'm guessing the wait for the new vehicle is a Canadian thing? Here in the States, we typically drive it away (with a temporary plate) the day we sign the paperwork.

Well, I bought it 100 km. away, on a Thursday before a holiday weekend. Otherwise I could have probably picked it up sooner. Some cars are safetied before they are sold, this one wasn't, but most dealerships will detail a used car before they let it go.
 
Nice Truck I had a 88 ranger extended cab I bought new. Only problem was it had the 2.3 L 4 cylinder. Worse mileage than the V6 and used oil (quart every 800 miles) from day one. Also owned a coupleof used bronco II's from the same time frame. Both V6 and much better power and mileage. I am sure you will enjoy it..

Hard to believe both Ford and GM have dropped the smaller trucks..

We (well grandpa) had a couple of broncos as range rigs. Had I known how they'd go up on value.. Might have taken better care of them. Sure are popular in some arras now.

And Stu... I look forward to reading about how you, in Japan, go about finding your daughter, in Kelowna, a used car.
Let me guess, you're thinking 12 year old Mazda beater, and she's thinking brand new Mini Cooper???? :rolleyes:

Well my dad is there, and I've got uncles and cousins galore, so I'm sure that someone will be able to help out with the whole "buying a car" thing. Funny, as it is my daughter I want to spend a little more and get a good reliable turn key car, I know if it was a son, I'd be looking for a late 60's early 70's pick up and I'd buy him the truck and a set of tools to fix it :D
