P.A. proves attractive to Saskatoon suitor

Nov 4, 2014 | 3:09 PM

DriveNation, Prince Albert’s newest used-car dealership, is now open on the city’s southeast side.

The business was started up in Saskatoon about a year ago.

Store manager Moe Jasem said they’ve been looking at expanding into Prince Albert for a long time.

“We get a lot of business from Prince Albert and La Ronge, and so when the opportunity came we jumped on it,” said Jasem.

The business sells used vehicles under $10,000. They have about 22 vehicles in stock at the moment.

Jasem said he recognizes that DriveNation is not the only used car dealership in Prince Albert, but he feels they have something different to offer prospective vehicle owners — their bank.

“We have an in-house financing company that nobody else here in Prince Albert or surrounding has,” said Jasem. “We can usually find out within an hour where you’re at.”

DriveNation is located at 240 – 38th Street East, across from the Co-op store.

Jasem said he feels they have a lot to offer people who may be concerned about bad credit, or who may be looking to get into a vehicle right away.

“Most of the people that get approved, want to drive away the same day and we make that happen.”
