Private sales can offer good value, but financing a vehicle purchased from a private seller may work differently than financing through a dealership. Participating dealers in the YourApproval.ca network can review your financing situation and help assess the vehicle.
How It Works
- Find a vehicle from a private seller (Kijiji, Facebook Marketplace, or another platform)
- Enter the vehicle details into YourApproval.ca — or paste the listing URL if available
- Complete the secure application — takes approximately 2 minutes
- Get connected with a participating dealer that can review your financing options
What to Consider With a Private Sale
- Vehicle inspection — Consider having the vehicle inspected before purchasing
- Vehicle history — Obtain a vehicle history report (e.g., CARFAX Canada) to check for accidents or liens
- Lien check — Ensure the seller has clear title to the vehicle
- Bill of sale — You'll need a proper bill of sale for registration and financing
Private Sale vs. Dealership Purchase
Financing a private sale vehicle may involve different steps than a dealership purchase. Participating dealers can guide you through the process and explain what documentation is needed.
