purchase, not a lease - im planning on keeping it for a long time.
I also quit my job 2 months ago - but gotta pay the bills and my business is based on unstable contracts - so i wanna do delivery as part time, to make sure i ve got $$$ - and don't feel like wasting a 2007 car for local delivery - that's why I got an '88 jetta :)
 
cacane tire

kanawakee a kanata plaza where used to be the big orange ball (like julep)
 
GO to costco and get yourself a kirkland brand battery for i think it is about 40-50 bux..and they last for a while
 
Costco ALL THE WAY!

I compared them when I bought one, price VS amps/cold amps (if my memory is good). CT vs Costco vs UAP/Napa.

Costco was the BIG BIG BIG winner.
 
I got a "rebuilt" battery from a place in st-henri for $40 with a 6 month warranty, it was pretty good!. 4839 notre-dame ouest, 514-937-3588

Its called Dixon battery. Not worth it when you can get a new one for under $60 with 5 year warranty !
 
This might sound el cheapo but I once needed a battery for my Protege. I went to the scrap yard and got a practically brand new battery from an Escort for 25$. I even got about 3ft of cable since the guy just took bolt cutters to the wires rather then taking off the terminals.

Exide makes it for Interstate, they have been having quality issues lately !

Basically there is reallly only 3 companies that make car batteries in North America:

AC Delco
Johnson Controls
Exide
