The Jaguar is 5 yrs old and has 75,000km.
Is the problem the insurance value or the sales price?
Or both?

EXCITING!

Your fiscally responsible UCP government is choosing to spend millions of tax dollars updating Alberta license plates with our slogan of "Strong and Free" instead of funding healthcare or public education.

Can you guess which one is my favourite?
