How Next Car Guide works

A better car search starts with three things: your budget, your must-haves and a few good questions. Let’s get them sorted.

1. Figure out what fits

Find My Car walks you through space, driving, budget and your trade. Print or save your checklist when you’re done.

2. Run the numbers

Use the car payment calculator to see how the price, down payment and loan term change your monthly cost. Ontario HST is included, and you can add your trade too.

Need a price range? The affordability calculator leaves room for running costs. The trade-in calculator shows what’s left after paying off your current car.

3. Get ready to shop

Our car buying guides explain loans, leases, trade-ins and the paperwork. Bring your checklist and questions when you go to see a car.
