Finance vs. lease?
When deciding on financing versus leasing, what's right for one person can be totally wrong for another.
Employment & income
Normally, you will need to be at your current job for three or more months and make at least $1,800/month. Other forms of income, including certain types of government assistance, may also be accepted.
Down payment
A down payment isn’t always required to buy a car, it will help. The less you have to borrow, the greater the chances a lender will approve a loan application.
Driver’s license
You need a valid driver’s license and be the age of majority in the province that you live in.
Current address
Please provide your current address details, including your monthly rent or mortgage payment.
Bank account
Lenders take loan payments directly out of your bank account each month. The easiest way to do this is to provide a void cheque or stamped pre-authorized payment form when your loan is approved.
Contact details
You'll need to give your full name, date of birth, phone number, and an email address to apply for a car loan.
