Things to consider while buying a car in Canada

Some tips - 

1. Before buying get an inspection done by a mechanic. They usually take 100 dollars for doing so. 

2. Also check the market rate of the car on Kelly blue book. Many online tools have fair evaluation. I think auto trader has it as well. Check there.

3. Check miles or Km. Don't confuse the reading with it.

For used car - there is canadadrives as the online market place - no negotiation, 7 day no questions asked return. 

But you don't get to test drive the car ahead of time. That's a negative. 

And you'll have to buy an insurance, which doesn't get refunded ofcourse. 

Then there are dealerships. Every car dealership will have used cars - No restriction like Toyota dealership will only have toyota cars etc. Anyone can sell any car to them and they sell it forward. 

Then there are individual sellers as well. Autotrader is the rich market place to hunt all kinds of listings - private/ dealers all. 

fb marketplace/ craigslist for individual ones too. 

It is a time consuming process though. Unless you are a car expert, it is difficult to judge the car quality. 

Canada drives offers free carfax report - which gives the ownership and service history of the car - so thats a good benefit to have. 

If you want to go for a second hand car, put in the time to do the research around what you want and then reach out to dealers / canada drives who have that car.
