Recalls and complaints
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the figures tell you
Fuel use for this model year: Rating on request; heavier trucks and vans are often outside the EPA ratings.
A good match for
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Room inside
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Imperial first, and buy only if it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Drive the Imperial on your commute before you commit to it.
Which one to look for
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Over to you
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
