Buying or leasing a used car from a used car dealer
If you buy or lease a used car from a registered dealer, you are protected under the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act. You do not have this protection when you buy a car from a private seller, or from an unregistered or unlicensed dealer (known as a curbsider).
Used car dealers must be registered with the Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council (OMVIC). A registered dealer usually has a yellow-and-blue OMVIC sticker on their office door or window. You can also check on OMVIC’s website at omvic.on.ca or call 1-800-943-6002.
