Take OMVIC’s Car-Buying Quiz!
If a dealer’s advertisement includes a price for a vehicle, you should expect:
a) The dealer is likely to add other fees to the advertised price
b) The advertised price must be all-in; the dealer can only add HST and licensing
c) There are no rules around dealer advertising; buyer beware
d) Both a and c
The answer is…b!
Dealers must include ALL fees and charges they intend to collect in the advertised price (except HST and licensing).
Examples of fees and charges include:
- Freight
- PDI-PDE (pre-delivery inspection/expense)
- Administration (admin) fee,
- Government levies (air tax, etc.)
- OMVIC fee
