Buying a car in Saint Clair County
CarmaCars is a rental company; renting a car first is how we help buyers. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can bridge the time while you arrange one with your bank. If credit is the obstacle, a monthly rental is one way to have a car while you sort it out; renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check.
Rent it before you buy it
Renting the model you are thinking of buying, for a day or a week, is a real test drive on your own roads. Bring the car seat, the hockey bag or the dog, and see if it all fits. Renting the model first is a simple way to avoid buying the wrong car.
What to check before you buy
Make sure every warning light goes out after the car starts. Check open recalls with Transport Canada or the maker, using the VIN. Look at real fuel use for the model, not only the advertised figure. Ask your insurer for a quote on the exact model before you commit.
Bridging the gap
Selling privately can take time; a rental means no rush. A rental keeps you driving if your old car sells sooner than planned. There is no long contract, so a rental fits around any purchase date.
Talk to a person
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
