How it works
Each month we count how many cars of every model are listed for sale in each of the four biggest provinces at each price, and find the typical asking price in each.
The tool shows the typical price for your model in each province with enough listings, the cheapest and the gap. A second panel shows the typical price of all used cars in each province.
Your privacy comes first. What you enter stays on your device unless you choose to text it to Uobo.
What this does not cover
- A gap between provinces also reflects the model years, trims and kilometres for sale there, not only the market.
- Buying out of province adds travel, a safety inspection, registration and sales tax in your own province. The full cost can erase a price gap. The out-the-door price calculator shows the sales tax you would pay in your own province.
- Only the four biggest provinces have enough listings per model to compare. Other provinces and territories are not shown.
Common questions
Which province has the cheapest used cars?
It varies by model. Across all used cars, provinces differ partly because of what people buy: more pickups in some, more small cars in others. Compare the same model, as this tool does.
Is it worth buying a used car in another province?
Only if the saving beats the costs: travel, a safety inspection, registration, and sales tax in the province where you register the car. Compare the full price, not the listing price.
Why are used car prices different between provinces?
Demand, the mix of models and trims for sale, winter conditions, and local costs all play a part. A model that is popular in one province is often cheaper where fewer people want it.
Where do the prices come from?
From cars listed for sale in Canada, counted by price and refreshed every month. The page shows how many listings it compared and which month they are from.
