Estimator
What could your payment look like?
Move the sliders to see an estimated payment. This is not a quote. The real rate is set by the lender based on your file.
Process
What you get
One application, every option
Fill in one short form. We work every financing option available for your situation, so you never apply five times or take five credit hits.
A payment that fits
We help you size the payment to your real budget before the lender sees the file, not to the biggest car on the lot. A payment you can keep is the one that rebuilds your credit.
The right car, delivered to you
You choose from every vehicle in our network, wherever it sits, and a partner dealer delivers it to your door. A partner dealership in our service area handles the paperwork and can walk you through optional add-ons like an extended warranty or GAP coverage, where offered. If nothing listed fits, a partner dealer sources one for your situation.

Why us
Why not a national site or one dealership?
We are Eastern Canada specialists, from Ottawa-Gatineau to the Atlantic provinces, who match you with the lenders that approve buyers in your situation and get you into the right car from inventory near you, in English or French, with no national call centre and no single dealer lot limiting your options.

Questions
Questions people actually ask
Is usedcarnearme.ca a lender or a dealership?
usedcarnearme.ca is a free referral and coordination service, not a lender, a broker, or a dealership. Partner dealers sell the vehicle and partner lenders decide the approval. You apply once, we match you with the dealer and lender in your province that fit your file, and we coordinate from there.
Does it cost anything to apply?
No. Applying is free and there is no obligation to buy.
Does submitting the form affect my credit score?
No. The form does not pull your credit. A credit check happens only after we have spoken with you and with your consent.
Which areas do you serve?
Ottawa, Kanata, Orleans, Barrhaven, Nepean, Gloucester, Stittsville, Gatineau, Hull, Aylmer, Halifax, Dartmouth, Sydney, Truro, Moncton, Saint John, Fredericton, Charlottetown, Summerside, St. John's, Mount Pearl, and Corner Brook.
Can I apply in French?
Yes. The whole site and the application are available in French and English.
Will I work with a dealership?
Once there is an approval, you work with a partner dealership in the Ottawa-Gatineau region and across Atlantic Canada that fits your situation. We are not a dealership ourselves; the partner dealer handles the vehicle and the paperwork.
Can the dealer offer a warranty or GAP insurance?
Some partner dealers can offer an extended warranty and, where permitted, GAP insurance at delivery. Both are optional, sold by the dealer or its provider, and never required to get approved. See our guide to extended warranties and GAP insurance for how each works in your province.
