Owning a Vehicle
Vehicle Buying Checklist
Plan
I know my needs and budget.
I researched vehicle features and prices. Dealers must advertise and display
the total amount I will have to pay before taxes.
I am choosing to deal with a licensed dealer and salesperson for maximum
protection.
You can check who is licensed on the Vehicle Sales Authority (VSA) website.
Test
I understand all deposit terms
and know what conditions may
make it non-refundable.
I drove the vehicle and
checked all the controls, paint
and upholstery.
I asked for and I am satisfied
with a recent mechanical
inspection report.
I asked for a recent vehicle
history report (ICBC or
CarProof) and now I know
about any prior damage.
Check vehicle buying tips on
the VSA website.

as documentation or administration.
I know fees are negotiable; taxes are mandatory.
I checked that the agreement is complete and includes all the options I
agreed to.
I understand the terms of my warranty and I know who provides the coverage.
