Hi guys ! I'm from Canada, and I need some advices on buying my first car. My budget is under 5k. What models/car brands are reliable ? Also, what do I need to verify and ask the seller ? Thanks a lot !

My 3.2 vw passat had 250k km or 155k freedom units and it worked like a dream. It even had the much feared dsg gearbox. I only swapped it for audi a4 because I got bored with it.
