				Looking for a $5,000 or less used car

				My cousin-in-law is moving to the Island and is searching for a cheap reliable vehicle.  She's still over in UK right now and has asked me to do some scouting for her.  The only problem is that all my vehicles up to my Delica have been hand-me-downs from family members.  Any advise on good sources of used vehicles in the Parksville to Victoria region?  I'm guessing she's looking for something relatively small.

				Have you tried usedvictoria.com (or equivalent - I think there's a usednanaimo as well). there are usually tons of cars on there. That's where I saw my first deli for sale!

				I have a '90 Audi Coupe Quattro for sale, but it's $5500. 
Not sure if she's in the market for an AWD sport coupe though.

				I have an '87 Honda accord hatchback 5 spd for $2800 in Nanaimo
Runs great, well maintained, 228000 kms, I would keep it but I can only afford to have one vehicle and that goes to the Delica.
PM me if you want more info

				I have a 5-speed 1991 Mitsubishi (badged Plymouth) Colt for sale.  It's reliable but it's due for brakes and suspension.  $1000

				Thanks for all the repsonses.  I'll forward them on to my cousin.  Right now she's driving my old '95 GMC Safari, but she may the gas bill too much to handle (as we did) and want to downsize.
