Hi, I am thinking about move to toronto. I get a question here: Normally how many KM will be put in the car for living in toronto? I am not asking for live in waterloo and working in downtown. Just like normal.
Tks a lot!

 

impossible to answer.....Toronto is *huge*

 

Damn!
I need to make decision about buy extend warranty for extra 40000k or 100000 k for 2 years.

 

If you know your work location & the address where you will be living;
use google map to plot the best route & distance.

 

how much is the insurance?

 

Depends on postal code. (res & work)
There is a huge difference between some areas.

I'm outside GTA & my '04 sedan is < $1000/yr

 

My son lives in Downtown Toronto for the last 7 years and he takes the local transit everywhere. It depends where you live and what you like to do like inTgr8r says, "it's a big place".

 

Did someone ring my bell?! lol
If you PM me your age, postal code, yr of car and if you have any tickets or AT-FAULT accidents I could give you a quote.

LOL.... I wondered how long it would take you

 

Speaking of postal codes, I gotta move out of Markham. People in Corollas are driving waaaaaay too slow and it's causing my rages on the road! I used to drive a 1989 Corolla Wagon with 90 hp and I can tell you that it is not THAT slow!

 

Good catch Matt.

 

agreed. I moved to TO about 6 years ago from NYC and I rarely drive when Im in the city and when I do, I rarely drive far.

but its hard to answer if you dont know where you want to live and where your daily travels will take you.

 

I try!

 

There is some wild rate swings in the GTA. I had a buddy that lived downtown and then moved to Maple and his rate went up $700/yr!
The reason for this is that people downtown tend to take transit and are not driving a lot and there is less chance of an accident. Most people that live in Maple tend to commute and there is more chance of an accident because of the time on the road every day. The rate is figured on where the people that are having the accidents live.
Just some more fun insurance facts!
Dontcha' love it!

 

i live downtown and used my car for personal use only until recently. now that i commute insurance went up $28/month
