The future of the Gladstone Chamber of Commerce is in doubt. The organization held a meeting in mid-November, looking for new executive board members. The reason new representatives are needed is because several previous board members are no longer operating businesses in the community, and therefore stepping down from their positions.

Buying a new vehicle is looking increasingly attractive these days what with longer warranties, large manufacturer rebates and very low finance and lease rates. Manitoba may not be the cheapest or largest market in Canada for pre-owned vehicles, however, if you look hard enough, there are still some large savings to be made on nearly new vehicles and even if you're financing, the dollar savings can more than offset the higher interest rates that you'll pay. You will also save on admin charges such as freight and PDI (up to $2,000 for some manufacturers) and the cost of factory-fitted options and dealer-fitted accessories. All the following savings are based on actual vehicles for sale at dealerships in Manitoba and are a direct comparison of MSRP to MSRP, also taking into account current rebates available on their brand new equivalents. So, whatever kind of vehicle you are looking for, the following ten vehicles are in my opinion all solid choices, will still have a decent chunk of bumper-to-bumper warranty remaining and will save you a significant amount of money over their new counterparts.
