But don\u2019t pay more than $1,000 as a starting point\u2014and ask for vehicle information and a receipt showing proof of your deposit. This helps prevent issues when it comes time to claim your vehicle and get your money back.<\/p><h3>What is a used car deposit?<\/h3><p>A used car deposit is a small chunk of money you pay to hold a vehicle while getting your finances in order. Leaving a deposit is not the same as signing a contract and isn\u2019t legally binding in any way.<\/p><p>You may want to confirm with your seller that the deposit is refundable and have them write this on your receipt to avoid future confusion in case you decide not to purchase the car. It\u2019s also essential to get the vehicle identification number (VIN) on the vehicle, so you know what you\u2019re committing to buy.<\/p><div class=\"rewards--element-container rewards--container\" data-product-id=\"de1c9023-15d0-4348-91ea-3fc9fa05ca59\" data-product-name=\"Clutch Car Loans\" data-niche=\"Car Loans\" data-provider-name=\"Clutch\" data-rewards-campaign-name=\"\">\r\n\r\n<style>\r\n.gx-badge .popover-content { line-height: 19.5px; }\r\n@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {\r\n\r\n.uk-hero-rates ul { margin-left: auto !important; margin-right: auto !important; width: fit-content; }\r\n\r\n.uk-hero-rates h3 { text-align: center; }\r\n.applylinks .luna-button--success { margin-top: 12px; }\r\n}\r\n  \/* 1.

The only time you might want to leave a used car deposit is if you\u2019re set on buying a particular vehicle and you just need time to figure out your finances.<\/p><p>You may also want to leave a deposit to secure time for a vehicle inspection or to search for the vehicle\u2019s collision history on a site like CARFAX or CarProof. You shouldn\u2019t leave a used car deposit for a car you\u2019re not 100% sure you want unless your seller promises in writing that the deposit is refundable.<\/p><h3>Should you leave a deposit for a car?<\/h3><p>It doesn\u2019t hurt to leave a used car deposit if your dealer is trustworthy. That said, you might not want to leave a deposit if:<\/p><ul class=\"list-3\"><li>The seller is asking for a used car deposit over $1,000.<\/li><li>You\u2019re not sure you want the vehicle.<\/li><li>The seller won\u2019t provide written proof that the used car deposit is refundable.<\/li><li>The seller wants you to pay in cash.<\/li><li>You can\u2019t verify the vehicle\u2019s VIN.<\/li><li>You\u2019re asked to leave a deposit for a used car from a private seller.<\/li><\/ul><h3>How much of a deposit do you need to leave for a used car?<\/h3><p>Most used car deposits in Canada range from $500 to $1,000. Typically, this doesn\u2019t vary based on the vehicle\u2019s price.<\/p><p>Make sure you get in writing that the deposit will be returned to you or applied to the purchase price of your vehicle when you buy the used car. As a rule of thumb, avoid paying a used car deposit over $1,000.<\/p><h3>What to do if you leave a used car deposit<\/h3><p>If you decide to leave a used car deposit to hold your vehicle, there are a few ways you can protect yourself from loss:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Agree on the terms of the deposit.<\/strong> Check whether the used car deposit is refundable, whether the deposit is part of the purchase price and how the deposit should be paid. Have all the terms written down and signed by both parties.<\/li><li><strong>Don\u2019t use cash.<\/strong> Cash isn\u2019t traceable, and some less-reputable dealers might refuse to give your used car deposit back if there\u2019s no paper trail. Using a credit card or debit card allows you to dispute the charge with your card provider if the dealer doesn\u2019t want to refund the deposit.<\/li><li><strong>Get a receipt.<\/strong> It\u2019s important to get a used car deposit receipt for your own records, especially if there\u2019s any disagreement down the road.<\/li><li><strong>Inspect the car thoroughly.<\/strong> Even the used car deposit is refundable, inspect the car before putting down any money. Make note of the VIN and, if possible, have the car inspected by a third-party mechanic.<\/li><li><strong>Get a VIN check.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/car-loans\/used-car-sites\/car-vehicle-history\">Run the vehicle\u2019s VIN<\/a> to find out if it\u2019s been in an accident, was previously stolen or still has a lien from a previous owner. Don\u2019t put a deposit on any car without a VIN. A reputable dealer can get the VIN number of any used car they\u2019re selling, even if it\u2019s not on the lot.<\/li><li><strong>Avoid leaving a large deposit.<\/strong> The average amount of money you should expect to leave for a used car deposit is between $500 and $1,000. Any more than that and you might be dealing with a fraudulent lender.<\/li><li><strong>Don\u2019t leave a deposit on a used car from a private seller.<\/strong> Avoid leaving a deposit on a used car sold by a private party unless you know the person well enough to trust that you\u2019ll get the money back.<\/li><\/ul><article class=\"luna-card luna-card--primary luna-card--border\">\n  <div class=\"luna-card__block\" style=\"padding:0.7em\">\n<span style=\"font-size:0.9em; font-weight: 800; font-style: italic; text-transform: uppercase;\">Related: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/car-loans\/online-car-dealers-canada\" style=\"text-decoration:underline; font-size:0.9em;\">Compare online car dealers in Canada<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><h3>How long will a dealer hold a car with a deposit?<\/h3><p>The length of time your dealer will hold a vehicle with a used car deposit may vary based on the type of deposit you leave:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Holding deposit.<\/strong> A dealer will typically hold your vehicle for as long as they\u2019ve agreed to do so. Usually, it should only take a few days for you to get your financing in order, so most will agree to hold your used car for a few days or weeks. But if you wait too long, they might sell the vehicle to another buyer.<\/li><li><strong>Purchase deposit.<\/strong> Purchase deposits often depend on when the dealer gets a specific car in stock. This can sometimes take months or even years, depending on the vehicle. The seller will typically hold your deposit as long as it takes to get your vehicle in stock.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Can I get my used car deposit back after I signed a contract?<\/h3><p>Maybe, although it depends on the car dealer. Most provinces and territories allow for a \u201ccooling off\u201d period in which you can cancel a purchase and get a refund, <strong>but this usually doesn\u2019t apply to vehicle purchases<\/strong>.<\/p><p>There are a few cases where you might be allowed to cancel a vehicle purchase. For example, your dealer\u2019s policy might include a cooling off period to compete with other dealerships. Or, the dealer might not have met full disclosure requirements prior to selling the car.<\/p><p>To justify cancelling the sale, you\u2019ll need to show that the dealer intentionally withheld information. Cancellations usually aren\u2019t justified if the dealer made an honest mistake and quickly fixed it.
