Before you buy from a dealer
Buying in Ontario
Every dealer in Ontario must be registered with OMVIC, the Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council. Advertised prices must be all-in — everything except HST and licensing — so a dealer cannot add fees at the desk that were not in the ad. Buyers from a registered dealer are also backed by a compensation fund if the dealer fails to deliver.
Wherever you buy
Get a vehicle history report and a lien check before you pay — a car sold with money owing on it can be repossessed from the new owner. Ask for an independent pre-purchase inspection; a dealer that refuses one is telling you something. And compare the all-in price, not the monthly payment.
Selling instead?
A trade-in is one offer from one dealer. Get several instead: pick the Hamilton dealers you'd sell to, send them your car in one message from your own email, and compare what comes back. Know your car's value first, so you can tell a good offer from a lowball.
