Congratulations! You’ve finally completed post-secondary education! All those late-night study sessions and the turned-in papers have at last paid off. Now, you’re the proud recipient of a degree or a diploma. So, what comes next? The real world. Time to apply your studies to hands-on job experience. Now that you’ll be applying to new jobs, you’ll have to learn more about where those opportunities are located. Having your own vehicle will certainly allow you to be more flexible with where you can work.
But as a new graduate, perhaps with student loans, you might be wondering if you even have the budget to purchase a vehicle. There’s good news. At The Humberview Group’s AutoPark Superstores, you’ll find a wide variety of vehicles that are reliable, low-maintenance and budget-friendly. And because our AutoPark locations carry many makes and models, we’re confident that you’ll find the best vehicle fit for you.
At our AutoPark Superstores, there are several vehicle brands and models that have become popular among new graduates. These vehicles have become favourites because they’re stylish and offer several standard convenience features, in addition to the reliability they provide.
The Chevrolet Cruze is a great sedan option that provides versatile cargo options and offers great fuel economy. You’ll also receive impressive power, delivered by the 1.4L 4-cylinder engine.
