Other examples include a full-size 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT 4x4 Quad cab pickup with 28,000 km for only $28,900, a $38,000 original value according to Tibljas.
"By the time you factor in the fact that, unlike a new vehicle, you don't have to pay for freight, PDI, air tax, gas tax etc, the savings grow even bigger. And of course you reduce PST and GST as well while getting the balance of all factory warranties.
The examples here are just a few of the dozens of vehicles which are available, including well equipped 2003 Buick Century and Ford Taurus models for under $18,000. Many Plain Jane economy cars cost more. Arrangements for special shipping rates to most major cities in Canada for under $800 have also been arranged," said Tibljas.

There are opportunities for American buyers as well, with the added bonus of our 69 cent dollar. The list includes a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport minivan with 18,500 km for $16,215 USD, the same van with 28,300 km on the dial for $15,525 USD, a 2003 Ford Escape XLT V6 4x4 with 18400 km for $17,871 USD, and a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT 4x4 Quad cab with 28,000 for $19,363 USD.
It looks like Leasebusters.com is onto something. While buying ex-rental cars isn't an entirely new concept, finding current model year vehicles in good shape with low mileage all in one place, and then offering them for lease at competitive rates is a newsworthy story.
