How To Buy A Quality Used Car!


This article will offer you few tips on how to find a quality used car in the Canadian used car market. It will also focus on few myth and facts about the used car market in Toronto.

1. What is a car fax or car proof?

CARFAX, Inc. is a commercial web-based service that supplies vehicle history reports to individuals and businesses on used cars and light trucks for the American and Canadian marketplaces.

CarProof provides vehicle history searches and reports for cars and trucks that are or were registered in Canada. CarProof data comes from government registrars in all Canadian provinces and territories. Find out if a vehicle has a bank lien or has been branded as rebuilt, salvage, non-repairable, unfit, abandoned or stolen.

CARFAX report is often used in the U.S market versus CarProof report are geared towards Canadian market.

2. What is certified and e-tested means?

To certify a vehicle in Canada or (Canadian Safety Standards) a licensed mechanic will look at the vehicle from a safety perspective. He/She will be looking for the vehicle's steering control, brake system, windshield, light bulbs, tire conditions and so on. This certificate is good or valid for 36 days, and it is signed off by the mechanic. People often mistake the safety certificate with a used car warranty. The certificate will give you a guarantee on the safety items from the list but it does not cover any mechanical break downs on the vehicle that is out of the scope of the certificate. For example if the power window of the vehicle stopped working after you have taken delivery of the vehicle, there is no legal repercussion you can take against the selling dealer. However if the brakes failed within 30 days of you taking delivery of the vehicle, the selling dealer will be obligated to repair the brakes free of charge.

Emission test is a Canadian specific requirement on a vehicle to ensure the vehicle meet Canadian government emission guide line. The process is quick and painless usually cost about $40 to complete the test. If the vehicle has failed the emission test the government offers you a $400 repair to be done regarding the emission system to have a conditional pass.

3. Is it better to buy from a big dealer versus a small one?

General speaking bigger dealers have an image to maintain and they generally have a larger inventory to choose from. But in terms of quality it shouldn't matter too much, but the selling price is usually higher from a bigger dealer due to heavier overhead cost.

4. Is it necessary for my mechanic to inspect the vehicle before buying?

Yes, it is a good idea to have a separate inspection conducted before committing to the purchase. Make sure you have a good long standing relationship with your current mechanic to ensure you will not be paying for unnecessary repairs.
