Ensure Compliance With Provincial Regulations

Obtain Your Driver's License

Possessing a valid driver's license is crucial when engaging in a vehicle operation within Canada. Each province or territory has its own set of licensing regulations. Depending on the specific region, you may require either a Canadian license or an International Driving Permit to procure a car. Your initial action should involve reaching out to the nearest motor licensing office. Comprehensive driving guides can be accessed through service centers, online platforms, and retail outlets. For further information, consult the Government of Canada's website.

Obtain Your Financing And Insurance

Obtain the Financing You Need

No matter your immigration status, we provide various financing options to meet your needs. Whether you are a permanent or temporary resident, we are here to assist you in accessing a wide range of financing choices. Our options include attractive prime interest rates and the possibility of a $0 down payment.

Secure Car Insurance

Everyone must have an insurance policy for their vehicle. Acquiring insurance is a straightforward process that can be done via insurance companies, either by phone, online, or through a dealer. Typically, insurance is obtained after the vehicle purchase, as insurance providers require specific details about the vehicle to issue a policy. Your insurance premiums will be determined based on your driving experience with your new Canadian license, rather than your license from your home country.

Congratulations On Your New Vehicle!

Registration for Your Vehicle

Upon purchasing your car, it's important to register it and obtain a license plate promptly. At FFUN, we are here to assist you with this process. We will guide you through all the necessary steps to acquire insurance coverage and registration for your first car, ensuring that you hit the road without delay.

Choose Between Driving It Home or Delivery

When you purchase with us, you receive more than just a high-quality used vehicle. We offer province-wide delivery, a 30-day money-back guarantee or a 30-day exchange option. Additionally, you have the opportunity to earn some extra cash by referring your friends and family to us.

Credit & Qualifying

Absolutely! Even if you're not purchasing a vehicle from us, we are willing to buy your car at the same price we would offer if you were.

As part of our commitment to providing a hassle-free experience, we strive to provide the best value for your trade right from the start. The offer you receive is tailored specifically to your vehicle and remains valid for seven days.

The appraisal value remains the same whether you choose to visit the store or use our online platform. Both methods follow the same evaluation process. In the case of online appraisals, we verify the condition of the vehicle in person. The only scenario where the offer may change during an online appraisal is if the vehicle's actual condition differs from the information you provided initially.

Not at all! We're more than happy to assist you in person if that is your preference. Feel free to visit us or schedule an appointment at a time that suits you best.

Once you receive an online offer, you should take action within seven days by either bringing your vehicle to our location during business hours or scheduling an appointment. During this process, we will assess the condition of your vehicle, complete the necessary paperwork, and provide you with a cheque so that you can proceed with your plans.

At FFUN, we prioritize your preferences when it comes to buying (and selling) cars. If you would like us to pick up your vehicle, we are more than happy to do so, depending on your location. Feel free to chat with one of our representatives to coordinate the pickup, or you can bring your vehicle to a FFUN location at any time.

While we can't reveal all our methods, here's a brief explanation: we consider the details you provide about your vehicle, including the year, make, model, and odometer reading. We also review the vehicle history report and compare it to the current market value. When you bring your vehicle to us, we conduct a thorough inspection to identify any overlooked incidentals or possible repairs. Apart from that, our advanced technology takes care of the rest, ensuring a fair and accurate offer.

You will only require the following items when you are prepared to conclude the transaction for buying or selling a car. These items are not necessary for obtaining an offer:
 
  • The vehicle's title, indicating any outstanding balance, if applicable.
  • Up-to-date registration documents for the vehicle.
  • Government-issued identification for all owners involved.
  • Any available sets of keys and remotes.

After you bring your vehicle to us and we complete all the necessary paperwork, you can expect to receive a check within 24 hours as payment.

If you're using your vehicle as a trade-in, we can explore the possibility of applying the remaining balance to your new auto loan through a FFUN dealership. If you simply wish to sell us your car, we will calculate the difference, and you will need to settle the remaining loan amount using the proceeds from the sale.

How We Make Car Buying FFUN!

Every vehicle you come across in our inventory is exclusively owned by FFUN, and you have the opportunity to see it in person at the specific dealership where it is currently located.

At our dealership, we prioritize the quality and reliability of every car we sell. To ensure this, we subject each vehicle to a rigorous 92-point inspection. If any issues are identified during the inspection, we take the necessary steps to repair them before offering the vehicle for sale. This way, we can confidently stand behind the cars we sell. Additionally, we guarantee that all our vehicles are free from flood and frame damage. You can access the inspection report by clicking here. (insert link to inspection)

Definitely not. Each vehicle undergoes thorough repairs and reconditioning to meet the highest standards before being displayed on the lot. We meticulously examine every aspect of the interior, exterior, and engine. If a vehicle fails to pass our rigorous tests, it simply doesn't meet our customers' expectations.

Yes, absolutely. We understand the importance of ensuring your complete satisfaction with the purchase of a vehicle. Rest assured that you have the opportunity to see the car in person and feel completely confident before making a decision. All the vehicles you encounter are ready and accessible for viewing unless otherwise specified.

We gladly welcome cash, debit cards, personal checks, and major credit cards as acceptable forms of payment.

The specific documentation required may vary depending on the customer and their chosen financing or payment method. To obtain a comprehensive understanding of the necessary documents, we recommend discussing your situation with one of our team members.
