Where to start?
Start by talking with our team about your unique scenario, and we identify the building blocks to get you situated with a solution we are all comfortable with. We will discuss your budget, your credit score, where does financing come in, and whether there any partner programs to help. Our goal is to ensure that you get to enjoy the process of finding your vehicle because it is an exciting purchase! One area to begin is to understand credit history and where you find yourself. When you apply for automotive financing, one of the first things that lenders will look at is your credit history. However, if you are new to financing, you may not have a credit history yet. This can present a challenge, but one that our specialists are able to overcome and make it a simple process for you.
If you do not yet have a credit history, it is a good idea to start building one as soon as possible. You can start by applying for a credit card or a small loan. Make sure to make your payments on time and keep your credit utilization low.
This will help you establish a positive credit history, which can make it easier to get approved for automotive financing later.
Where does financing come in?
Once you have decided on a vehicle that suits your lifestyle, next to come is determining your finance rate and term. With financing you can borrow up to the full price of the vehicle and then pay it back in over a specific term length (24, 48, 60 months, and more). These payments can be broken up into a scenario that again, suits your needs. You can do monthly payments, bi-weekly, weekly payments, etc.
Finding a lender as a newcomer to Canada or as a student may be a bit challenging, however, there are lenders who specialize in working with you. We begin by working with our partners to find specialized programs built for you.

- Proof of income (pay stubs, employment letter, etc.)
- Proof of residence (lease agreement, utility bill, etc.)
- Valid driver's license
- Passport or other government-issued ID
