Trade In in Junction, IL

Trade In: what CarmaCars does

CarmaCars does not sell cars, but before you buy one in Junction, a short rental can answer questions a test drive cannot. Selling a car can take weeks; a weekly rental means you do not have to keep it until it sells. Between cars? Rent one by the week or the month while you decide what to do with yours.

Drive it like you own it

A rental lets you judge fuel use for yourself, on your own routes. Take the car home, load it with your things, park it where you park, and then decide. A week of normal life with the car is the best test drive there is.

A buyer's checklist

Compare the total cost, not only the monthly payment: interest, fees and insurance add up. In Ontario, a private seller must give the buyer a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check open recalls with Transport Canada or the maker, using the VIN. Confirm the ownership and that no money is still owed on the car.

Bridging the gap

If the car you want is weeks away, rent one month at a time and stop when it arrives. If the purchase falls through, you still have a car to drive. A rental keeps you driving if your old car sells sooner than planned.

Before you plan

We are based in Toronto; Junction is not somewhere we have a location. About 1,009 km in a straight line separate Junction from our location in Toronto; our delivery stops at about 250 km.

Our rentals start and end around Toronto; a test week has to begin there. If you move to the Toronto area, renting the car you want to buy is easy. Tell us what you need in Junction, and a person will say straight away whether it is something we can do. Prices here are in Canadian dollars, not US dollars.
