are there any hidden fees?
no. Price, HST, and licensing. that is the whole bill.
what do I need to bring to get approved?
usually a valid Ontario driver's licence, recent proof of income such as pay stubs or bank statements, proof of address, and a void cheque. if you are trading in, bring the ownership and your keys.
can I pay the loan off early?
yes. the loans we place are open, which means you can pay extra or pay the balance out at any time with no penalty.
what will my payment be?
payments depend on term, rate, down payment, and your trade. any payment shown on this page is an estimate. send us an application or call us and we will give you the real number in writing before you commit to anything.
do you take trade-ins?
yes, on anything. running or not, any make, any age. bring it by and we will appraise it while you are here.
can I trade in a vehicle I still owe money on?
yes, and it is very common. we get the payout figure from your lender, apply your trade value against it, and either roll the difference into the deal or collect it, depending on the numbers. we will show you exactly how it works out.
is the price I see the price I pay?
yes. our advertised price is an all-in price, as required by Ontario law. the only things added on top are HST and licensing. there is no admin fee, no documentation fee, no dealer prep, no etching, and no surprise add-ons at the desk.
why is the cash price different from the financing price?
the advertised price is our financed price. when we arrange financing, the lender pays us a commission, and we pass that back to you by pricing the vehicle lower. on a cash purchase or an outside bank draft there is no commission, so the price is 4.65% higher. we tell you the exact number up front, before you fill anything out.
is the price negotiable?
we price every vehicle to the live market using real market data, then post that price publicly instead of holding room back for a negotiation. that means the price you see is already sharp. if you have a reason you think it should be different, tell us and we will look at it with you.
can I put a deposit down to hold this vehicle?
yes. a deposit takes the vehicle off the market while you arrange financing, get your trade appraised, or come in for a test drive.
can I finance through Arrow Motors?
yes. we work with a full range of Canadian lenders, including banks, credit unions, and non-prime lenders, and we shop your application across them rather than sending it to one place.
what if my credit is bruised, or I have no credit history?
we finance a lot of customers who have been turned down elsewhere: past bankruptcy or consumer proposal, missed payments, new to Canada, or no credit file at all. approval depends on income, down payment, and the vehicle, not just the score. apply and we will tell you honestly what you qualify for.
does applying hurt my credit score?
a credit application creates a hard inquiry, which can move a score slightly. multiple auto inquiries in a short window are normally treated as one shopping event by the credit bureaus, so applying with us does not stack up the same way as applying at five different places over five months.
how do you decide what my trade is worth?
we use live wholesale and retail market data for your specific year, trim, mileage, and condition, plus what it will cost us to recondition it. you get the number and the reasoning behind it, not just a number.
can I sell you my car without buying one?
yes. we buy vehicles outright.
is this vehicle safety certified?
every vehicle we retail is sold certified under the Ontario Safety Standards Certificate at no extra charge. if a vehicle is sold unfit or as-is, it is clearly marked that way on the listing and priced accordingly.
do you provide a vehicle history report?
yes. a Carfax Canada report is available for every vehicle, free, before you buy. if a vehicle has reported accident history, we say so on the listing rather than waiting for you to find it.
what is Arrow Certified?
Arrow Certified is our reconditioning standard. we publish the actual measured readings for the wear items on the vehicle, such as brakes and tires, against both the Ministry minimum and our own higher Arrow standard, so you can see where this specific vehicle sits instead of reading a generic point-inspection claim.
can I see what work you did to this vehicle?
yes. we publish the actual reconditioning performed on each vehicle, including what was replaced and what it cost. most dealers do not show this. we do.
do you sell vehicles with accident history?
sometimes, yes. a properly repaired claim is not automatically a bad car, and it is often a better value. what matters is that you know about it. any reported damage is disclosed on the listing and on the bill of sale.
can I have my own mechanic inspect it before I buy?
absolutely. book a pre-purchase inspection anywhere you like and we will make the vehicle available. if a seller does not want you doing that, it tells you something.
can I book a test drive?
yes. book online or call us, and we will have the vehicle cleaned, fuelled, and ready when you arrive so you are not standing around waiting.
do I have to come in, or can I do it all online?
either way. you can apply, get approved, have your trade appraised, and sign remotely, then pick up or take delivery. or come in and do the whole thing in person. your call.
do you deliver?
yes. we deliver throughout Aylmer, St. Thomas, Tillsonburg, London, and Elgin County, and we can arrange delivery further out. tell us where you are and we will confirm what it takes.
I live out of town or out of province. can I still buy from you?
yes. we handle out-of-town and out-of-province sales regularly and will walk you through the paperwork and any inspection requirement on your end.
how soon can I take it home?
if the vehicle is certified and ready and your financing is approved, often the same day or the next day. if it is still in reconditioning, we will give you a firm ready date.
are you a licensed dealer?
yes. Arrow Motors is an OMVIC-registered Ontario motor vehicle dealer. every deal is covered by the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act and the Ontario Motor Vehicle Dealers Compensation Fund.
does this vehicle come with a warranty?
warranty coverage varies by vehicle. some are still inside the original factory warranty, and others qualify for coverage we can add. the listing states what applies to this specific vehicle.
can I buy extended warranty coverage?
yes, and we will show you the actual coverage, term, deductible, and price so you can decide whether it is worth it for your situation, not just a monthly number tacked onto the payment.
who services the vehicle after I buy it?
we do. service Department is the Aylmer NAPA AUTOPRO, is a full-service licensed repair facility, so the same people who reconditioned your vehicle can keep maintaining it.
can I return the vehicle if I change my mind?
Ontario does not have a cooling-off period on vehicle purchases. once the contract is signed, the sale is final. that is exactly why we encourage a long test drive, an independent inspection, and as many questions as you want before you sign.
should I buy a car with accident claim listed?
a car with a reported accident claim can still be a great purchase, and it is often a much better value. a reported claim means it was repaired through insurance, and insurance will only allow repairs at an OEM approved facility meeting their repair guidelines. a properly repaired claim does not automatically make it a bad vehicle. what matters most is that you know the full story before making a decision.
at Arrow Motors, we disclose any reported damage right on the vehicle listing and on the bill of sale. we also provide a free Carfax Canada report for every vehicle so you can review the details yourself. you are always welcome to take the vehicle to your own mechanic for an inspection, or give us a call at 519-773-7132 if you want to walk through the history together.
is a daily rental good?
a daily rental can be a very good buy. these vehicles are usually maintained on strict schedules, and they often offer newer model years and lower mileage for less money. what matters is knowing the vehicle's full history and its current condition. at Arrow Motors in Aylmer, we provide a free Carfax Canada report on every vehicle, and we publish the exact reconditioning work and measurements on the listing. you are always welcome to take any vehicle to your own mechanic for an inspection, or call us at 519-773-7132 to talk through the details.
