Car Solutions Canada How Old Should a Used Car Be | Page 15

Should a used car be bought from a private
seller or through a dealership in Toronto?
Looking for a used car in Toronto can be like looking for a needle in a haystack
when it comes to the ideal car for one’s own needs. Luckily, going online
alleviates these issues and allows everyone to narrow down what they need
pretty quickly, but there is always one lingering question when it comes to
buying a used car: does one buy from a private seller or does one go to a used
car dealership?
There is the old idea of a used car salesman being untrustworthy, but they’re
also rumored to wear plaid, which isn’t true, either! The opposite is actually true
today. Used car dealerships in Ontario have to adhere to certain practices and
regulations according to government law. This is the first reason why a used
car dealership is a better option as opposed to going for a private sale.
Torontonians are afforded basic consumer rights when purchasing a vehicle.
This isn’t the same when it comes to a private seller. They don’t have to adhere
to many of the same laws, because they’re not a business.
