Shopping for a Used Car in Calgary?
|
 Whether you're looking for a car, van, truck, SUV or minivan, you're sure to find exactly what you're looking for. Calgary has a number of reputable and service oriented new car dealers and used car dealers to choose from. From Ford to Mercedes-Benz, to Chevrolet , GMC, Toyota, Chrysler and Honda – to name name a few – all the major manufacturers are represented. If you need to broaden your search to neighbouring cities, check out our list of Alberta car dealers.
Online research and window-shopping is only a first step to locating the right vehicle for your needs. AutoHunter.ca™ has a wide selection of Calgary local cars to review, but if you need to broaden your search, we recommend that you also check out our competitors at the Alberta AutoTrader (www.autotrader.ca) or AutoNet.ca, for additional listings. The Calgary Herald's online automotive offering is available at Driving.ca (www.driving.ca).
Many of the professional vehicle dealers that use the AutoHunter.ca system offer services to lease a car as well as financing options for individuals with any type of credit background. But - do your homework - shop for good rates - talk to your financial institution and don't make rush decisions. There is lots to choose from in the Calgary automotive market.
Pricing is always a key consideration, when shopping for a used car. How much should you pay? To answer this question - its important to do your homework. Research the vehicle you're looking for and determine what the fair market value may be. There are a few online resources to help out ... the RoadCompanion.ca site offers an interactive utility that allows Alberta buyers and sellers to determine the fair market value of a wide variety of used vehicles, based on the "Canadian Black Book" resale values. This excellent used auto pricing utility allows buyers and sellers to determine what the fair price should be - www.roadcompanion.ca You'll need to navigate to the 'Used Car' section to find the Black Book Pricing tool. Select Alberta as your province and determine what the market value might be for the car your planning to buy or sell.
AutoHunter also offers a simple online tool for comparing Alberta used car prices - our PriceHunter tool allows you to check the asking prices of vehicles that were listed on our system over the past year. The PriceHunter database currently holds more than 25,000 units (February 2008).
If you're on a limited budget (who isn't), you'll want to take a look at our listing of Alberta vehicles for sale under $5000 or for a little more selection, vehicles under $10000.
Trade-In Questions? When purchasing a new or pre-owned vehicle, many buyers struggle with the dilemma of whether to sell their old vehicle privately or trade-in through a car dealer. While circumstances vary from individual to individual, this AutoHunter.ca article highlights some of the major considerations on both sides of the equation.

Used Vehicle Inspections
|
In the province of Alberta, unless stated otherwise, used vehicles are sold "as is". Simply put, this means that any post-sale flaws or defects with a used vehicle are the complete responsibility of the buyer. It is therefore, extremely important that buyers do a complete inspection before finalizing an agreement to purchase. The Alberta Transportation Website includes a comprehensive list of things to check before buying a used vehicle. Click over to our 'Resources' page to learn more.
We also recommend that used vehicle shoppers check out www.samarins.com. Samarins is the personal website of auto enthusiast Vladamir Samarin of Toronto. The site is an excellent resource and includes an illustrated step-by-step guide for doing an inspection of a used vehicle.
If, after a personal inspection, you're still unsure, its always a good idea to get the opinion of a licensed mechanic. A couple of hundred dollars spent on an inspection by a professional can give peace of mind or could save you from purchasing a vehicle with costly or unsafe defects.
The Alberta Motor Association, offers inspections for members and non-members alike through select AMA approved repair facilities. A buyers inspection includes a 140 point inspection and diagnosis that covers overall engine performance, electrical, exhaust, starting and cooling systems, brakes, steering as well as a test drive. The cost for this is less than $150 and is discounted for AMA members. For further detail check the AMA website.
