Frequently asked questions
How much does mileage affect used car value?
Each 10,000 miles can reduce value by 10-20%. High mileage (over 100k) significantly drops price.
Is it better to buy from a private seller or dealer?
Private sales are cheaper but riskier. Dealers offer warranties and certified programs, costing $1-3k more.
How do I avoid overpaying for a used car?
Check Kelley Blue Book or Canadian Black Book for fair price, get a pre-purchase inspection, and negotiate.
