Buying a used vehicle

By buying a used vehicle, you're already making a wise financial decision to let someone else pay for the initial depreciation. By buying with the help of Automall Network, you'll be making an even wiser decision to make your purchase experience more effective and efficient, with total Peace of Mind that you've purchased the best vehicle for your money. Whether buying a used vehicle in Canada or the US, Automall Network makes the process easy and helps you save money.

When you shop by looking at the ads, you are shopping on the seller's terms. Automall Network helps you shop on your terms.

We start with an initial free consultation that will help establish your driving needs, the appropriate specifications and a proper budget. Asking prices on advertised vehicles are always padded to allow for negotiation. As a licensed dealer, we have access to actual sale prices of used vehicles, so we can help you establish the right budget for any vehicle you wish. This consultation can be done at your convenience from your home or work via telephone, through e-mail correspondence, or by visiting our office.

If you like what you hear, you can retain us as your agent to take care of everything for you and get you the best vehicle for your money.

You will then get the following benefits:

• Comprehensive Search - We scour the market for vehicles worth your consideration - auctions, dealer lots and private sales. You won't have to spend hours searching the web, calling sellers or running around. We'll do it all for you.

  We will forward you a list of vehicles that we feel are worth your consideration. From the list you receive, you need only go see your top choices and take them for a test drive. Just imagine the time savings alone of only having to go see a few vehicles and having your pick of the crop!

  Although in most cases, our clients find the perfect vehicle within a week or two, we will continue to search for up to 60 days.

• Negotiations - If the vehicle you want is at a dealership, we'll fully negotiate the best price we can on your behalf. Any dealer to dealer discounts will be passed on to you. If the vehicle you want is a private sale, we'll help mediate the deal for you. And, if the vehicle you want is at the auction, we'll get it for you at the lowest winning bid we can.

• Anti-Lemon Protection - Once you've decided on the vehicle you want, we can have the vehicle independently inspected by a licenced mechanic. Automall Network puts our clients' vehicles through a rigorous 160+ point inspection, one of the best in the industry, for your confidence. Please note: all private sales will have been thoroughly pre-inspected before we send them to you.

• Exclusive PEACE OF MIND program - When spending this much money, you need to know your next vehicle's history. Was it flood-damaged, or in a major accident, or are you also buying a lien with the vehicle? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. For your Peace of Mind, we can thoroughly check the vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) for the following:
  • It decodes properly and matches the vehicle. Thieves and unscrupulous people often tamper with the VIN so a vehicle can't easily be traced.
  • Ensures the vehicle is free of liens. Vehicles are often sold without clearing an old lien, which could result in the vehicle being repossessed even after your purchase.
  • Identifies whether a vehicle has previously been reported as an insurance write-off. From 1993 to 2003, there were over 100,000 vehicles per year that were written off in Quebec and sold in Ontario as an undamaged vehicle.
  • Shows a clear history of owners, and reviews the seller's ownership for any red flags.

  You will receive copies of all reports along with a personal review with our staff to ensure you fully understand the background of the vehicle you are buying. Please note: all private sales will have a VIN search done before we send them to you.

FEES: Based on final price of vehicle before tax, 1/2 of anticipated fee will be charged in advance, 1/2 upon completion. Fees subject to applicable tax.
