Online car dealers in Canada have grown in number and market share over the last decade. These days, you can buy a car in Canada using a completely online process \u2014 which allows you to shop for a car online, make payments and get the vehicle delivered to your doorstep without ever setting foot inside a showroom or pounding the pavement researching vehicles.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n    <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n        <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n            <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"faq-builder-0000000002\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#faq-builder-0000000002\">\n                <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">What are the best online car dealers in Canada?<\/span>\n                <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                    <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n                    <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/h4>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"faq-builder-0000000002\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n        <div class=\"accordionContent\">\n            <div>\n                <p>That depends on what you need. For instance, some online car dealers specialize in specific models or types of cars, while others focus on higher mileage or repair-shop resold vehicles. Make a shortlist of non-negotiables that you're looking for in your next car, and then look for online dealers that can offer those options.<\/p><p>You can then narrow down which online car dealer is best by comparing specific features. Some online dealers will let you view the CARFAX report for a vehicle, others provide a complimentary warranty, while others offer free delivery (or reduced delivery fees). Another important feature to look for is that the online dealer provides some sort of warranty or trial period of at least seven days, so you have time to see if the vehicle is really what you're looking for.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n    <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n        <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n            <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"faq-builder-0000000003\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#faq-builder-0000000003\">\n                <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">If I want to buy a car from an online dealer, can I get financing somewhere else?<\/span>\n                <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                    <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n                    <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/h4>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"faq-builder-0000000003\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n        <div class=\"accordionContent\">\n            <div>\n                <p>Yes. When buying from an online car dealer you are not required to obtain financing through that dealer. Like all vehicle purchases, you can get a car loan from any type of lender, including an online car dealer, a bank, a credit union or an online car loan lender. In fact, you are better off securing your vehicle financing before you shop and finalize a car purchase. Not only does a prequalification help you properly budget, but it allows you to negotiate prices and perks, without fear of getting dinged with higher car loan interest rates.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n    <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n        <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n            <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"faq-builder-0000000004\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#faq-builder-0000000004\">\n                <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">Is there a Canadian version of Carvana?<\/span>\n                <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                    <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n                    <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/h4>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"faq-builder-0000000004\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n        <div class=\"accordionContent\">\n            <div>\n                <p>While it's true that Carvana does not currently operate in Canada, there are several similar online car dealer platforms you can try instead, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/car-loans\/online-car-dealers-canada\/clutch-review\">Clutch<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/car-loans\/canada-drives-review\">Canada Drives<\/a>.
