hear me yes I can hear you okay thank
you for inviting me to your channel and
welcome our viewers and
audience um thank you for having me
today like you said um I'm an
experienced car dealer I've been in
Industry over 10 years currently
licensed and registered um to sell and
to buy in Ontario and all across Canada
and today we're looking to get more a
lot of people especially new immigrants
uh on the road um so they can have
affordable car the right car for their
family and for whatever they need it
for yeah so that's it guys so we're
going to talk about how to get a car so
I'll just dive in with the first
question um so when people are looking
for a good car someone like me I don't
even know what to look for um so what
should they be looking for what are the
key things to consider when you want to
buy a
car so thank you for that um looking for
a car can be a lot of uh it can it can
take a toll on a lot of people sometimes
people could just go on website and then
they they're not sure what to what to go
for especially in this age where
information is out there but the
challenge is um do you know the right
thing to get and are you getting the
right thing the easiest way that I've
seen people go get a car is just jump on
Facebook and see who selling and word
but over the years I've I've I've from
stories of customers I've seen a lot of
people make a lot of big mistakes and
big issues and especially for new
immigrants who are not um used to the
system over
here um they they prefer to still do
things the traditional way and I don't
see a lot of them come to dealership um
and take advantage of getting a very
reliable car so um going with a
dealership is still the best way to get
a car because the dealership one first
is regulated by the government right and
they will save a customer or any client
the hle of going into a wrong
decision and there's one M that I I just
want to correct out there
um most people especially new immigrants
um they think about financing a car
something no goo area they're like I
don't want to get into big depth no it's
just um because of the mindset of where
they're coming from or how things are
being done over where they coming from
where you do just cash deals but in the
system you you you want to understand
that things are the system is very
accountable and it's very integrated so
that's why financing is is part of um
the best way to get a cup in fact when I
was doing some research recently I found
out that 70% of cars driven in Canada
are
financ can you imagine that so that
means the the the rest 30% who are not
driving you probably are not driving the
right car so the system has already made
itself that this is the best way to get
a car and if if you're going to be very
Progressive with whatever car you want
in life this is the best way right so
that's one me I just wanted to clarify
there's another me that oh I don't want
to be paying monthly and weekly actually
in revers going for finance deal or
financing a car makes you save a car in
a long save save money in a long
run myself I've been an example of it I
remember long time ago when I wanted to
get a car I when
I I went on financing I financed that c
for like 16 months that's 5 years at the
end of that five years in fact the
feeling when I started was like oh my
God I'm looking at my community not not
a lot of people do
that but at the end of that five years I
sold that car what I bought
it I buil my credit I was able to go on
to to get a house then because my credit
was built and think about it if I wasn't
paying that money monthly I could have
been spending it somewhere
else again I was driving a very good car
at that
time so you can see that the system kind
of encourages that and protects people
so when 70% are doing something then
probably is right than the 30% so you
asked me a question I just wanted to
divert to that just to clear
best of getting a car is through
financing and the best place you can do
financing is through dealership like our
own dealership and in case if you're
looking to do that you can quickly I
know sh is going to mention that later
on you can quickly go to our website
Anam chariot.com on the on the homepage
and just um hit the button pray approve
and then just fill out the form we're
going to reach out to you to continue
the process so but that's aside there
are just traditional way and normal ways
that people do their car first thing
that I've seen a lot of customers make a
lot of mistake is that when they come
they don't even know the value of what
they trying to get yes you want to get a
a CRV
2017 do you know the market value you
know what it's going for and most times
I've seen people give already close
price and say this is my budget but I
usually encourage people and say try and
try and go understand what the market is
what is this car selling out there so if
you're even getting a car you're getting
a good deal you know whether you're
getting a good deal what is the
Benchmark of what you're trying to do I
usually refer people to auto trader this
it's one of the biggest site out there
that you can look out for cars and see
what cars are sold right but not
necessarily you can always get good
deals here but it gives you a fair a
fair understanding of what you're
actually looking for right because
almost all kinds of cars are those
platforms right so that's the first
thing I tell people go on and understand
value of the car that you're getting
into now there's another aspect which
getting a car through a dealership does
that an average
person most times except you're in the
industry you don't understand that is to
understand the car you going for every
car has a history
this is where the the biggest mistake
happen usually people will write on
their ad on Facebook whever they you're
getting car in perfect condition in good
condition says
who this is where going through a
dealership
matters because we have systems whereby
we can go into the pass of the car from
the day the car was released from the
manufacturer to owners of those cars we
can see what has been done through that
car is it an accidental car is it a
saage car has there been a a rebut on
the car has there been consistent
maintenance on the car we see all those
histories of the car and we consider
these things um having in mind um
industry standards even before we sell
car that's why when I started I said we
are regulated by onic onic is Ontario
motor vehicle Industry Council so every
dealer is being regulated we have due um
due diligence to do whatever whatever
car we sell to the public so we have a
platform whereby we can track this
things about a car right just like your
name is sh every car has a name and it's
called a VIN yeah we had them we have a
system we can track what has happened to
the car is a good car to buy it does it
really wor it so this is one big
Advantage why you want to go to a deal
right so I've mentioned understanding
the car value try to get the market
value what it means the condition of the
car right I just mentioned that thirdly
I usually tell people set a budget right
yeah um try to know where you are and
this is my logic and my my concept I say
car is a is a progressive um is a
progressive um property buy where you
are live right if you cannot afford
um the big card that you want why not go
for
finance right so understand your budget
and what you can and in finance we
usually advise advise people who look at
how much how much do you earn monthly
how much is your housing how much is can
you because car usually the the second
largest expenses from your housing so we
consider that too is also industri
standard that we
don't we don't bug your budget over over
50% of what you should be paying in in
in car car payments right so we we want
you to understand that aspect your
budget now there's also the need of the
car what what do you need the car for if
you need a car from8 to B Just For Work
Grocery and back and forth why do you
want to go get a
Lamborghini right it's for necessity
like how you said why not go for
something they can last you for now and
especially from people from my descent
we try to buy cars and interna interal
assess use it for 5 years 10 years no
you don't have to right I've seen a lot
of people that change car every year
there's nothing that stop stops you and
that's why in dealership there is there
is a there's a provision for what you
call
trading so you can drive in a car for a
year and then you're like okay it's time
to move on I'm a little bit financially
buyant we bring in the car we assess the
car praise the car um and then um we put
it into the new car you want to get the
value of it and that reduces the price
of what they trying to get right so
that's one as of it understand what do
you need the car for and then the one I
already talked about is the condition of
the car which we do a d diligence most
people don't have those knowledge and
expert to to understand what a car is
how good car that you're getting so I'll
just stop here there's a lot of things
we can talk about there okay that's good
so from what you've said so far it's
important to know the condition of the
car the history of the car you have a
budget yeah work with your budget and
you know what you need the car for okay
so I wanted to ask something so a lot of
us a lot of people who might want the
cars might be newcomers who don't have a
credit score so what role does a credit
score play in car financing and if
someone is a new U newcomer in Canada
how can they get around the credit card
the credit score
issue okay yeah I've had um recently um
people in those uh those shoes um who
doesn't have a lot of credit um luckily
there are some companies um right now
who are observing um clients like that
who understand that they don't have a
lot of um credit score um in Reverse
they try to um they try to ask for more
deposite right unlike other people has a
good credit and good job but one good
thing is that you have to prove that you
you can pay for it which is a good job
letter right um and a paycheck and then
they can they can absorve it so that's
one way around that other way is that
why not go for something cheaper one
year I usually advise them one year two
years and then you can bounce back and
get a get a better car and sometimes in
fact there's a client of M
that he could actually pay off for the
car he went it was a very
um affordable
car but he paid like 80% of that car and
then the remaining 20% he financed it
the reason why we took that strategy is
that he's building he's building his
credit with that particular company that
approved them so after one year he could
come back and say okay I now want a
better account and at that time he has
had a better credit score and let me
also tell you something why is very
important there are few things that
build your
credit apart from your credit card and
other than car car financings it very
crazy so yeah if you could if if
somebody get into car financing and you
can prove within a year that you can pay
this without Mis payment you're taking
very
seriously so when it comes to car
financing is there any usually it's like
I don't know five years is there any
best length of time to have it is it
best to have it for like one year two
years or five years or the longer the
better or the shorter the better which
one well depending on the car um most um
best banks and best um financing
companies go for five years right um the
newer cars are usually five years right
the longer the the years the shorter the
payment
that's another trick to so it depends on
you most times when we get clients
approved we give them options of do you
want to pay a little bit highly for
shorter years or um low for longer years
um The more I've seen in industry is 60
months that's five years right and
sometimes you have option to pay it off
so nobody even stops you after one some
people say some Finance Company okay you
have to hold it for one year and after
that you have the Liberty to pay it
off oh okay that's good so um is there
are there specific times of the year
when it's best to buy a car if so when
and
why okay well summer now a lot of people
are in the market getting cars that's
the best season for our dealers for
dealers because we prepare for the
summer months when people can come
around and test cars and and have
choices so summer is the busy month but
really when is the best time to buy it
doesn't really environmentally or
climate wise it doesn't really look un
favorable winter months are usually the
best especially after the Christmas when
people are
broke after Christmas January people
have spent all their their money
Christmas gift and all that yeah there a
lot of more deals out there at that time
and if you're a smart buyer you can take
advantage of it um especially private
deals we dealers we also have um ways we
can get car but interestingly most of
our invent doesn't come from private um
private deals it comes to options and we
still have our deals
time okay so so the winter time is the
best it is usually especially after the
Christmas yeah yeah wow okay so when it
comes to car financing what are the
common mistakes that people make when
financing a car and how can they avoid
them is there any do the dealers have
some tricks of their sleeves what are
the mistakes that people make and how
can people be aware and avoid
them well first of all that's why I
mentioned the the checklist of getting a
car understand the value of your
car right
sometimes when you don't understand the
value of the car what is been sold you
probably might be sold overpriced right
so but there's also a checkpoint um in
the industry especially with the finance
company that before a finance company or
a bank can approve a car loan they have
what you call a black book of the value
of the
car it's like a benchmark of what the
car wor in the industry so usually they
don't approve more than
that more than the worth of the car
right so that's um I think the the the
the government and the the the
regulatory body is helping in that
before it used to be that bad that
people don't understand the value of the
C they P twice in that and usually also
it is better to go with
um I would
say the the big Banks and the the big um
finance companies than private
lenders because those ones are not
widely um
regulated also understand the terms of
the of your
contract yeah right understand that some
sometimes are very strict that if you
miss a payment twice your car is going
reposed and you're indepted
so you have to understand that and also
the ter and I mentioned about the Clause
of you have the Liberty to pay it off
yeah so Finance Company can say okay
after six months we can pay it off okay
so read the F prints like they would say
yes very important fine prints very
important to read the fine prints so um
let me get back to everyone who is
watching thank you so much for being
here I hope you're getting value so far
if you have any questions you can drop
them in the comments you have any
questions about buying a car are you
trying to finance a car are you confused
about you know what to buy a car do you
have a particular amount in mind and you
want to know what kind of car you will
get whatever questions you have just
leave them in the comments um and uch
will definitely answer answer and get
back to you okay so um also the website
is on the screen like you said uch they
can go there and put in their details
and pre-qualify right they can know how
much they can get for finances so guys
you can use the website below and of
course their contact details are also
there for you to contact them so I know
that you said you are licensed not just
in Ontario but other places so if
someone is in another Province because
we do have people from other provinces
how would they be able to if they
contact you would you be able to help
them as
well so the good things in the good
thing in the industry is that we all
networked if I'm a dealer here have have
dealers all across the provinces of
Canada in fact I I recently had a client
from Al who wanted a car and I'm already
looking for the car for for her the
auctions and I have dealer over there
that I also um get car and deal with
because the interesting thing about deas
is that we exchange cars right so this
network has already been
built so we can easily get you to go to
another dealer and get another car and
the whole trans is still coordinated by
me so that doesn't stop anything you can
also be approve like okay I had a
customer that was last month who was
approved financing from another dealer
but saw the car he wanted to get from
our own
dealership and we still we completed
that
transaction so that's the cool thing
about this industry we're very
integrated and it's easy to navigate
yeah okay great so we have some
questions um in the comments um Mar is
asking can you change or increase your
payment amount along the line with car
financing so if your income increases
they allow you to pay more yes there
there a lot of like I said that the big
uh the big banks have this flexibility
in their financing options you can
increase it I know five banks that we
use they give that um that most most of
them say six months after six months
then you can make
change
itre yeah um okay do you finance a
student without a
job it can be very really hard um there
are financing companies like that but
sometimes it might be a little bit
higher rate because you don't have a job
and they require um over 50% deposit of
the car right and if you're in the shuee
you have to understand right
what what will you hold as a Cal for a
student right who doesn't have a job so
I usually um advise people in this save
up a little bit get a little car and
then like I said um if you want to build
your credit pay a larger percentage of
the car and the little per of it is just
financing it can't be $1,000 and you
just pay $100 monthly it's just counting
into your building off your credit yes
so so yes so Caleb I think the best
thing is actually to get a job so that
they are more comfortable giving even if
it was you you would not be comfortable
with giving a c someone who doesn't have
have a job so maybe you just look for a
car you can actually afford maybe pay up
front and then later you now go for the
financing yeah so there's another
question
here how much money I need to buy a car
which I can use for deliveries or Uber
as a new student coming to Ontario next
month
how much let me put some let me put is
there any I don't know that might
probably not be your expertise people
want to do deliveries or
Uber particular cars they should buy
particular that of course there are I
think Uber right now usually require
cars not um greater than greater than 10
years in years yes so they want a better
car and a sound car
um well you also want to go for very
efficient I've seen a lot of Uber
drivers who drive
hybrid so for gas reasons Toyotas and
Hondas Chevrolet these are most of the
cars that will sold they all for
delivery and
huzzle huzzle um drivers and all that
yeah so we can get all those cars yeah
these kinds of cars
yeah so he's asking is that how much he
wants to have an idea of what how much
he should have like the budget and all
of
that well it's still depends on the
market price um yeah what does the car
want if you want a 2017 H Civic you
should go take a look maybe in um auto
trade and find out how much do you sell
it because those this websites are there
to for you to see how much is going for
how much I will give you an idea for how
how much it
is okay good good good guys if you have
any more questions please leave them in
the comments and we'll answer your
questions so um I wanted to ask this
question so when someone buys a car
there's there's a registration
process yeah so what are the other
things that you need to do in terms of
okay you need to buy your plate number I
think and register can you walk us
through that process and is it the same
with other
provinces yes um mostly all across
Canada is is kind of the same I think
Quebec is a little bit different um
Quebec doesn't require certification of
your car like Ontario um they make you
go through safety standards the first
thing that shows that you own a car is
the ownership in fact that's that's the
bill of sale that it kind of represents
that a car has been transferred from one
entity to to another that's the
ownership that's the most important
document of a car it shows that who owns
this car so if you're getting a car
selling a car that's the first document
you get is an ownership you get a copy
of yours and then you go to the ministry
and register it into your name right the
the good thing is that a dealer helps
you do this you don't have to work
through the processes because we already
have alliance with the ministry we have
their papers and we can fill out those
things because they trust us we we all
government um agencies right okay so
it's easier so that part will help you
with it the certification the government
of Ontario requires that every car that
is going from one point to another sales
like exchanging transferring from one
person to another go through a safety
condition so is a lense mechanic who
goes through the car and certify that
this car is good enough to apply the
road of arus and they give you a safety
certificate right so you're also in good
hands if you go through dealers because
we know what the
government
okay uh we can't
hear audio
okay guys if you have any questions
please drop it in the comments and you
can go to the website to pre-qualify
yeah to see if you qualify for for
financing
financing weite is on the screen for you
to go to okay hear is back yes can hear
you okay my mic um just went off yeah I
just replaced it okay sorry guys so I
was talking about the
the registration process of a car talked
about the ownership which is the most
important document that you owns a car
and then the safety certificates for
Ontario Quebec doesn't require safety
certificate but most other um Province
do require there is um the insurance
because every car is required to be
insured and onario that you have to get
from your insurance or your Banks or
insurance company um and then your
driving
license so um for Ontario you required
to have um minimum of G2
license register a car right so this
four pieces of documents you can
register a car you can do it
individually yourself work into the
ministry with this four documents and
register some people in the past I've
seen some people say they drive in the
car to the ministry for the ministry to
see no we don't have to
see just the document gives you um
access to register
if you if you do it through the
dealership you don't even have to visit
just come in and go with all the stuff
yeah and that's the beautiful thing yes
so if you buy through a dealership you
don't do anything you just come they
give you everything all your papers give
you a plate number everything you don't
need to do everything yeah that's yes
so um so I just wanted to um you to help
tell people where they can find you the
website is on the screen um do you have
have a phone number when they go to the
website what do they expect to see there
how do they fill out the prequalified
form and all of

car please go to that website and if you
have any questions as well you can reach
him on Instagram at Anam chat.com and I
guess on their website as well and ask
all your questions yeah yeah so as we
round up um probably just one more piece
of advice something just to encourage
people who are trying to you know
finance a car you know because of where
some of us are coming from when you talk
of financing sometimes SC they think you
know you can think all sorts of things
but it's a rather simple process because
I've also gone through it very I was
surprised at how simple it is yes so
just one last piece of advice and also
one last word for for everyone with
watching
today yeah so um is an easy process um
it makes um um one good thing I love
about North America is that um
services are giv access to the middle
class so car financing is one way that
you could drive the car of your dream
and the good car for you and the also
good thing about it is that you can
progress and upgrade in your car there's
some people if you don't get into car
finance you probably not going to drive
a new car your life that's just the
truth because even a rich man will not
take out um thousands of dollars to go
buy cars they just tell you that's how
the system is been design that you can
have access to these things you just
have to show trust to make your payments
and the cast still belongs to you right
um so you can avert some of the issues
of having used car older used cars they
repairs in fact I wanted to share a
story in the begin I forgot about it a
client that just to one and bought a
private deal I don't think I don't think
he used the car for a couple a year and
then the transmission went and then the
car the client was calling me back but
it's just to tell you there's danger out
there that you can AV going through a
dealership right we do this diligence to
understand that just a transmission an
engine problem can wreck can wreck a
whole dollars out there right so you
still best to go through a dealership
like us and we're here to support you in
your journey of getting good car and
being being on the road interesting fact
again there are 26 million cars in
Canada driving on the road so you can be
one of them yeah yes yes and and and
sometimes when you want to do the
private thing if I mean if after a few
months something happens you cannot go
back and tell them to give you your
money back but if it's a deal like this
you can go there with the car be like
see the car you gave me look at what
happened yes because you know because
they are licensed and there's an office
and all of that so that's usually the
advantage of using a dealer rather than
doing a private deal right so guys yeah
so I hope that everyone um you have a
bit more information if you have if you
still have questions you can leave them
so is asking if you have warranty for
the
yes I was going to talk about that then
the person just got it yeah so we we
mitigate some of those risks by we have
a lot of guarantee warrantees that cover
up some of those things the warranties
that cover the power trend of the car
which is the engine the Transmissions so
you just drive with a peace of mind if
anything happens it you just drive down
to the dealership these things are
changed ume of charge because you
warranty yeah so there are so many
options for you to to drive a smooth can
then you don't have have to worry yeah
it's true guys so if the car has any
issue just drive it to them there they
will change it but if it's a private
deal you can't do that you can't buy my
car and bring it back it's you're buying
it as it is and carrying all the wahala
