A buyer's checks
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. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Specs, explained
Power comes from the 5.7L 12-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
The combined figure, 26.1 L/100 km, means roughly 78 litres for 300 km. Expect about $45.68 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$9,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
What to expect from the Avtech SC / M12
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
A good match for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Rent it for a week first
A test week in the Avtech SC / M12 tells you more than any review. Rent the Avtech SC / M12 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Narrowing it down
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. 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.
