You’re buying a vehicle from a consumer who has no advantage to misguide or mislead you, since he’s acquiring another vehicle (in most cases) at a dealer and use that sale as a trade-in and retrieve his taxes against it. (See FAQ : The truth, really…)

 But, if this causes too much concern, before making a conditional ‘Purchase Offer’, click here and it will give you a complete history of the vehicle that is reported. Or consult the SAAQ.

Please take note – It is understood that if the conditions are not met as promised by the seller, the buyer will be under no obligation to purchase or sub-lease the vehicle; unless both the seller and the buyer mutually agrees at that moment to settle any unforeseen problems so that both are satisfied.

That’s why he uses the services of Autocarmatch as an intermediary to take the pictures, write a full description of the vehicle to put it on the Internet and to handle the transaction. (See FAQ, The truth, really…)

TAKE NOTE, that WE strongly suggest an inspection before you take possession of the vehicle, that you thoroughly examine it and make a road test, making sure that vehicle fits exactly the written description and that all conditions are respected as promised on the ‘Purchase Offer Agreement’

A common and convenient way (approximately 70% of all cars sold in North-America) to acquire a vehicle today is by leasing it.

So, sub-leasing a vehicle from an actual lessee has also become common.

The advantage for the future lessee is evident, as he doesn’t have to pay the first and last payment for a vehicle that is always under warranty that usually has just a few months remaining.

The advantage for the actual lessee is also evident as the dealership or the leasing firm handles everything. Fees are always requested, so it’s better to call for information at Autocarmatch.

Buying a vehicle from a consumer in Quebec involves paying only the PST *, that is true, but if the sale is completed at a dealership or a merchant, the seller retrieves his tax as a credit from his trade against another vehicle. Should you by a vehicle that is on a lease, this tax principle never applies and the buyer will have to pay both taxes without any exceptions.

* Nonetheless, the buyer will always have to pay the TPS at the SAAQ. So pay the taxes at the SAAQ or the merchant does not change anything for the buyer, but the seller will still benefit of a TPS credit on his new vehicle.
