Tips for buying a used car in Ottawa

Regardless of whether you’re new to driving or have budget constraints, buying a used car can prove to be a daunting task. Moreover, when buying a used car in Ottawa you need to ensure it can withstand a range of weather conditions -- from icy winters, to hot summer days.

Seven steps to buying a better used car:

1. Narrow down on a budget but take into account the taxes, insurance and licensing fees you will incur.
2. Do thorough research by browsing reliable online sources, checking reviews, doing comparisons and speaking to people who have bought used cars in the past.
3. Weigh the pros and cons of buying from a private seller or a licensed dealership.
4. Inspect the car to check its exterior and interior conditions. It’s also a good idea to get a professional mechanic to inspect the car, too.
5. Take the Vehicle Identification Number or VIN and get a detailed vehicle history report on Carfax if one is not provided.
6. Take a test drive to check how the car drives and pay special attention to how it brakes and accelerates on different types of roads. While you’re at it, also check the air-conditioning, sound system, windows, locks and other features.
7. Comparison shop. Determine your maximum price and be prepared to walk away.
