Buying a used car in Toronto

There are so many questions you ask yourself when you’re on the market looking for a quality used car. What to look for in a used car? Where to look for a used car? What type of car is right for me? There are many factors to consider when purchasing a used car to make the buy a lot easier for you.

Cars are one of the biggest investments that you will make which in most cases calls for you to borrow money from a bank, credit union or other financial institutions. Buying a used car can save you a lot of money. When you purchase a new car, you’re paying for the car being new and this doesn’t necessarily mean that a new car does not have any problems. New cars can have manufacturing defects or problems with poor design leading to a recall. A new car also depreciates in value the minute you drive out of the dealership and is only worth about 70% of the original value after just a few years.

The best place to start when buying a used car is to set a budget, make sure you stick to it and shop around for the best interest rate before you purchase.

When purchasing a used car, the cheapest car doesn't mean you’re getting the best deal. Your ultimate goal is to find a car that is in good condition for a reasonable price. The value of a vehicle really depends on the cars condition. You may have two cars to choose from that are the exact make and model, one may have been religiously maintained and one poorly maintained.
Your best choice here is to pay the extra money for the car that was properly maintained leading you to save more in the long run.

Do a lot of research. Ask a lot of questions. Check the odometer reading. Check the body for rusting. Take a road test...etc. The internet is also an effective tool for researching market value, pricing and to also find dealerships that sell used cars.
