Our 1990 Nissan Sentra Coupe died and we sold it to someone that wanted the car as a project.

We now have a car, it's a 1990 Nissan Sentra Coupe. We like to thank all those that helped us through this process. We also like to thank those people that drove us around when we needed rides.

Sad news, I didn't get the BMW, I put a hundred dollars on the car . The guy let his mechanic look at the BMW, and the mechanic decided to keep the car. The guy didn't give me back my hundred dollars. I'm still looking for a four cylinder, 5 stick shift vehicle, good on gas, so I can take people shopping and to the doctor's .

Just got a phone call from Vancouver, the guy is leasing me a brand new BMW on the 22nd from Vancouver, and he will insure it for one year for me.

It looks like I'm getting the car from Vancouver, BC, it's a Toyota Corolla. The car will be looked at today, a cd player will be installed too. Will keep you posted as to what happens with this car.

I have a couple of options now. The fellow from the mainland has a vehicle for 300. I would just have to find a way to get to the vehicle. The second option is there maybe a vehicle here in Gold River that I might be able to buy. I have to await for the person to call. Will let you know of what happens, and which vehicle I will get.

Still haven't heard from the person on the mainland about a vehicle, but as we find out so will you.

I just found out that someone on the mainland (Vancouver) may help me get a vehicle. Will keep you posted.

I am still getting phone calls from people that need rides to Campbell River so they can do their shopping, and some need ride to their doctor's appointment. If you can help me get a vehicle that isn't too old and doesn't need repairs, let me know asap. Even as I am typing this, I am getting ms messaged to see if I can drive. But I'm telling them that I have no car yet. It's an important service that I am providing for people.

I am Still looking for a vehicle, I am getting phone calls at home from people that need rides to the town of Gold River, BC from the reserve. I also got phone calls from people on the reserve that need a ride to Campbell River, BC so they can do their shopping. So if you can help me get a car, you would be doing me a favor and allowing me to help others by driving them shopping or take them to their Dr.'s appointment's.

I took 6 youths to Port Alberni, BC to their basketball tournament, and the transmission went. And there's gasket leaks in front and in the back of the van. It would have cost me 700.00 dollars for another tranny, and 300.00 dollars installation, and new gaskets that would have been over 300.00. So I gave the van to an auto wreckers.

Now I'm looking for a vehicle that is 4 cylinder, and 5 stick shift.

Station wagon preferably, or a van that is 4 cylinder. I take people shopping 89 kl from Gold River, BC in Campbell River, BC. Or I take them to the doctors in Campbell River, BC. This is one of many service I provide to the native community. I charge 40.00 dollars return to take them to Campbell River, BC. If you can help us get a car, let me know asap. Thanks!

We did get the van, and later had trouble with it, the fuel pump went, so had to be fixed. At the same time we had other things done on it, such as the muffler, pipes, new spark plugs, spark plug wires. The van runs quietly now, but now I found out that I need to get a new timing belt, and the other belts on it, as well as there is a small leak somewhere. So I'm bringing in the van to get a new timing belt, and I'm getting them to look at where the oil leak may come from. Once I get these things done, I may bring it in to a used car dealer to see if I can trade it in for a four cylinder van, standard. If not, then I'll see if I can trade it in for a standard station wagon....
