Can the online valuation change?

We always carry out a quick inspection of a vehicle before we offer to buy it. If we consider that its value is affected by any aspect of its history or condition, including any unusual feature or customization, which was not apparent to us when we gave the online valuation, the price that we offer for it will differ from the online valuation.

What is a Curbsider?

When selling a car privately, you are at risk of falling victim to individuals who sell cars outside the law, known as curbsiders. They buy your car and try to resell it for a profit, without changing the ownership, driving your car around the city with fake plates and no insurance. If there’s an accident, they usually abandon the car, and you are still the legit owner. Protect yourself and contact OMVIC.
