What the Ottawa market looks like
Steady, well-maintained government-town stock. Bidders here favour low-distance sedans and compact SUVs, and cross-river Quebec buyers add to the pool.
How bidding works
Every bid is public
Amount, bidder type and timestamp. Dealers bid under their business name.
Reserve is disclosed
You always know whether the seller's floor has been cleared — before you bid.
Fixed closing time
No endless haggling. The clock runs out and the high bid wins.
Direct handover
Win above reserve and you get the seller's details immediately.
Buying in Ontario: Ontario requires the seller to provide a Used Vehicle Information Package (UVIP) from ServiceOntario. The buyer needs a Safety Standards Certificate to plate the vehicle and pays retail sales tax at registration on the greater of the price paid or the province's wholesale value.
