At Leggat, we understand that you have a variety of questions you would like to know about what will happen to your car after sale. For example, after owning a vehicle for several years you may become attached to it, and question where your faithful used Buick is headed. You may disagree with the valuation and demand to know the criteria used to price a car. This section will answer some FAQ’s about the sales and post-sales processes.

Q: What does Leggat do with the used cars it purchases?

A: At Leggat, we do not discriminate when it comes to purchasing used cars and are renowned for our high purchasing rate. However, not every used car that we purchase will be sold from a Leggat car dealership. Although our technicians will do everything to ensure that a used car is worthy of being sold from our lots, not every vehicle will meet our stringent standards. Only the best used cars will be sold by Leggat, which amounts to about half of what we buy. The rest will be sold on to wholesale auctions, or lesser dealers.

Q: How does Leggat arrive at a particular price for a car after appraisal?

A: Appraising a car is not an arduous process, but it requires experience and training. Our employees have both of these in abundance which is why we are regarded as one of the most accurate appraisers of vehicles in Canada. Issues such as wear and tear of the vehicle, whether it has been in accidents before, and how many kilometers have be clocked go some way towards determining a car’s value, but there are more technical aspects which our employees are proficient in evaluating.

If you have any queries whatsoever regarding our appraisal quotation, contact the person who did the appraisal. Our staff are friendly, polite and fully trained to explain the process in non-technical terms that our customers can easily understand.

Q: Is it possible to save on taxes if I buy & sell at Leggat?

A: Simply put, yes. After you have sold your car to us, you will be able to pay a lower amount of tax on your next Leggat car.

Q: I hate having to make appointments and queue for an appraisal, how long does it take for Leggat to proceed?

A: Unlike other car dealerships that have other concerns rather than customer service, Leggat puts you on the top of our list. As a result, there is no need to make any appointment. By simply dropping in to one of our ten car dealerships, you will find a technician ready and waiting to proceed with the appraisal.

Q: Is it possible to trade in a leased vehicle?

A: At Leggat, we are proud to be able to serve customers who have leased vehicles. They can be traded in virtually the same way as one that you own. You will benefit from our excellent appraisal service, then we will contact your leasing company. Don’t worry about having to deal with complicated mathematics, paperwork or jargon, as our financial team will get a payoff quote from the leasing company and process any equity that you may have.

It should be noted however, that in certain cases, a leased vehicle may not be eligible for the aforementioned tax savings.

We hope that this answered some of your queries, if you have any further questions or comments, don’t hesitate to contact us.
