There are previous posts here that will take you through the steps that can help you find a good quality used car. What I wanted to do was explain the difference between buying from an ABC lot and from a Dealership.

Not all used car dealers are created equal and if you see a car on a lot that is of interest to you, do your homework and make sure you protect yourself. What I mean by that is this:

1. Get a vehicle report on the car – ask to see the UCDA Report or the Car Proof to check and make sure that there are no registered accidents. The report should also tell you if the car was registered in any other Province and if it is a US car. If you get a song and dance that the car is clean but no report is presented … don’t even go any further … just leave. DON’T TAKE THEIR WORD FOR IT.

2. Test drive the car – if you get the vehicle report and it looks clean then take the car for a test drive. Check and make sure that everything works; the power windows they all go up and down, locks, keyless entry, air conditioning, heat, power seats, heated seats … you get the picture check it all.

What I have found is when people come into our dealership and it is the middle of winter or summer they fail to check the other things that they will need down the road. In the middle of winter, people forget to check the a/c, sunroof, etc and in the summer they forget to check the heat and heated seats to make sure they work.

3. Have the vehicle mechanically checked – There is nothing wrong with having a mechanic check over a car for you. There have been plenty of times when I have had a customer who has asked me if we can take the car to his mechanic or if the mechanic can come to the dealership to check it out. Typically the mechanic comes to the dealership and the car is put on the hoist. In the case of used car dealers who don’t have the facilities (and a lot of them don’t) then make arrangements with them to have your mechanic check it out.

Not all used car dealers are created equal and you can pick up some good quality used cars, but you need to do your due diligenc.

Have a question … post it and let’s get your an answer!

When you are shopping for a good, quality used car one of the most asked questions about the car is “has it been in an accident?”

Among other things, it is the Dealerships responsibility to disclose a vehicle’s accident history.

When you are shopping cars used in Ontario there are typically three reports that are used by Dealerships. These reports are:

1. CARFAX – the most popular one, we see CARFAX advertisements everywhere so of course it is the one that is most referred to when asking about a car accident history.

2. CARPROOF – is Canadian based and provides you with good detail about the used car you are interested in.

3. UCDA Vehicle Report – the majority of Dealerships are members of the Used Car Dealers Association and therefore use this report.

Out of these three is there one that is better over the other?

Even though it is the one most widely referred to CARFAX is a US based company, much of the information pertaining to a Canadian used car either isn’t available or isn’t as up to date as it should be. If you recall as well, it was Marketplace that did a segment about CARFAX and how the information on their Canadian used cars wasn’t totally accurate.

CARPROOF and the UCDA Vehicle Report are the most relevant because they are Canadian based. Their reports tell you if a used car was registered anywhere else in Canada or if the vehicle itself originated in the US (very important). It will also provide you with lien information as well.

CARS USED ONTARIO – USED CAR BUYING TIP …I have helped friends by a used car from time to time and through the course of their used car shopping we have visited a great many dealerships. The brand dealerships offering used cars will typically use the UCDA Vehicle Report because they are members of that Association. The “mom and pop lots,” in my experience, may use the UCDA but more often than not they have nothing. When they have been asked to produce the report they will do it, but you can tell they aren’t too happy about doing it. I even had one guy tell me that he would give me an Accident Report after I buy the car, because it costs $40.00 per history report. (Ok, I hope you see something wrong with that!). DO NOT accept the verbal confirmation that a vehicle hasn’t been in an accident. Ask to see either the UCDA Vehicle Report or CARPROOF.
