OMVIC has launched a new Car-Buying Quiz to help educate consumers about their rights when buying a car in Ontario.
Testing Your Car-Buying IQ
This fun and interactive tool “drives” consumers down an information highway where they can test their car-buying knowledge. Quiz topics include all-in price advertising, spotting illegal, unlicensed dealers (curbsiders) and the amount of time (or lack of) allowed to cancel a contract. At the finish line quiz-takers discover if their car-buying smarts are stuck in park or are in top gear! Consumers can also choose to share their results (or simply share the quiz) on social media and invite friends and family to test their own car-buying IQs!
Educating Consumers
In addition to the Car-Buying Quiz, OMVIC has significant resources and services available to inform and assist Ontarians looking to purchase a vehicle, whether they choose to buy from a dealership or privately including:
