Buying a Car? Do You Know Your Rights?

Mar 25

All in Pricing

Thinking about buying a car?

Did you know that all-in price advertising is the law?  If a dealer advertises a price for a vehicle (new or used), Ontario law requires that the price include ALL fees and charges the dealer intends to collect, with the exception of HST and licensing.

Examples of fees that must be included in an advertised price:

  • Freight (for new vehicles)
  • Inspection charges (pre-delivery expense, pre-delivery inspection)
  • Administration  fees (also referred to as “admin fees”)
  • Government levies (air tax, etc.)
  • OMVIC fee ($10.00)
  • Safety and e-test (unless the ad contains a mandated “Unfit” or “As Is” disclosure statement)
  • Cost of products or services dealer has preinstalled

What should a consumer do if a dealer tries to add charges that exceed the advertised price? Walk away, shop elsewhere and report the offending dealer to OMVIC, Ontario’s vehicle sales regulator.

Know Your Rights!
