New legislation provides you with increased protection
when you buy a vehicle from an Ontario-registered dealer.

What You Should Know

• Dealers must tell you everything they know about the vehicle you are buying.
• If a dealer does not truthfully disclose a vehicle's information, you may be able to cancel the contract.
• Advertisements must include the all-in price of buying the vehicle: no hidden fees.
• If you have a problem with a vehicle purchase, you may be eligible to apply to the Motor Vehicle Dealers Compensation Fund.

Buy Ontario-Registered for More Disclosure and More Protection

You get consumer protection only when you buy from an Ontario-registered dealer. Look for the blue and yellow Ontario-registered decal on dealership doors and windows. OMVIC regulates Ontario-registered dealers.

Private sales are not protected under the new legislation – worse, you may be at risk of falling victim to a curbsider.
