Expert insight: Trends among car buyers in the past 12 months

"We’re seeing the gap widen—the rich getting richer, and the poor getting poorer—and that’s reshaping the lending landscape. Subprime borrowers are defaulting on auto loans more frequently than last year, which has lenders rethinking their programs to account for higher risk. Some may raise rates even further, while others might exit the space entirely.

Meanwhile, prime borrowers are benefitting from increased competition. More lenders are targeting this group, which could lead to better rates and more attractive product offerings.

It’s also worth noting how affordability is shifting. The average vehicle price tops $50,000, and the typical monthly payment is now over $800—simply out of reach for many buyers. To keep payments manageable, we’re seeing more loans stretch beyond six years.

From my company’s perspective in the specialty finance space, our 15-year loan program for classic and collector cars continues to grow at a breakneck pace. While the reasons people choose these vehicles differ from traditional auto purchases, the broader lending trends are impossible to ignore."

Tips to secure the best deal for your next vehicle

Keep these tips in mind to help you lock in a better deal on your next car:

• Compare financing options. Before visiting any dealerships, get pre-approved for car loans from other lenders. This will help you work out whether the dealer’s financing offer is a good deal, or whether you’re better off getting a loan elsewhere. Learn more about car loan pre-approval.
• Time your purchase. Keep an eye out for sales and special manufacturer discounts throughout the year. You’ll also have a better chance of getting a good deal if you shop towards the end of the year, from around September to December.
• Know what your trade-in is worth. Research the value of your current car before heading to a dealership. This will give you more negotiating power if the dealer makes a lowball offer for your trade-in.
• Shop around. Visit multiple dealers and test-drive several makes and models. When you compare a range of options, you can shop around for the best available deal.
• Negotiate. Don’t be afraid to ask if there’s a better price available or if the dealer can throw in a few extras for free. Haggling is part of the process, and it can’t hurt to ask for a better deal.

Bottom line

No matter whether you’re shopping for a new or used car—or whether you’re financing, leasing or buying it outright—there are always plenty of car deals available. Compare car offers across models, manufacturers and dealerships to find the best deal on your next set of wheels.

Frequently asked questions

• When's the best time to buy a car in Canada?

  The end of the year is generally considered to be the best time to buy a car in Canada, from around September through December. This is when manufacturers and dealerships are keen to move models from the previous year to make space for new models, so you can commonly find attractive deals during this period. You could also save money by shopping towards the end of the month at any time of year, as sales staff may have monthly quotas they need to meet.

• Do car dealerships still negotiate in Canada?

  Yes, you can still negotiate the price of a car with dealerships in Canada. However, how much room you have to negotiate can vary depending on the model you're buying, the current auto sales market and the individual dealership. But even if the dealer won't negotiate, you've got nothing to lose by simply asking if a better deal is available.

• What is the cheapest car in Canada to buy?

  According to a 2026 AutoTrader.ca report, the cheapest car to buy in Canada is the Hyundai Venue Essential, which has an MSRP of $21,999. Last year, Clutch reported that the cheapest car to buy in Canada was the 2025 Nissan Versa with an MSRP of $20,798. Of course, you'll be able to find plenty of models well below the $20K mark if you're willing to shop for a used vehicle.

• What's the best website to buy a car in Canada?

  There are several websites worth checking out if you want to buy a car online in Canada. Popular options include Clutch, Canada Drives, CarsFast and AutoTrader. Learn more in our guides to online car dealers in Canada and the best used car websites in Canada.
