Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about vehicle financing and provincial sales taxes.

At a dealership, you pay 5% TPS and 9.975% TVQ on the agreed selling price. In private sales, SAAQ collects 9.975% TVQ based on the higher of the sale price or the wholesale book value in the Guide des évaluations.
Used vehicle interest rates in Quebec typically range from 6.49% to 9.99% APR for prime borrowers, varying based on vehicle mileage, age, loan term, and borrower credit rating.
Financial advisors generally recommend limiting used car financing to 48 or 60 months to ensure you do not stay in negative equity and pay off the loan before major mechanical maintenance arises.
Vehicles from out of province or with specific status require a mandatory SAAQ mechanical inspection before registration. Dealerships handle SAAQ registration transfers directly during financing delivery.
You can secure financing through major financial institutions like Desjardins, National Bank, RBC, Scotiabank, or directly through registered used vehicle dealership finance departments.
