Stop in at ECU BEFORE you start shopping for a car. We can help you with financing and so much more.

What will you need to know before buying, selling or leasing a vehicle?

Our Car Facts Centre can help you find the answers to all your questions. Since 1992, ECU members have been using this free automotive resource area to help them make educated decisions about buying or leasing a vehicle.

Who should use the Car Facts Centre?

• Members who are selling or trading in a vehicle.
• A person considering a lease for the first time.
• Anyone considering buying a new or used vehicle.

What should I pay for my new vehicle?

Our Discount Pricing Service through the Automobile Protection Association (APA) will provide you with the wholesale price for the vehicle and options of your choice. Knowing the true value of the vehicle you want can make you a better negotiator.

Should I sell or trade in my used vehicle? How much should I expect to get for it?

We can provide you with the retail and wholesale value from the Canadian Black Book, which monitors sale prices of used vehicles in Canada and compiles them monthly.

Should I buy or lease my next vehicle?

We have "Fact Sheets" available to help you understand the choices.

Where can I find objective information about new vehicles currently on the market?

We have up-to-date consumer books and magazines in our Car Facts Centre Library that can give you an honest and forthright evaluation of what's great, what's good, and what's citrus.

I'm looking for a used car. How can I get the best deal on a reliable vehicle?

We have "Fact Sheets" and Phil Edmonston's Lemon-Aid Used Car Guide, along with other valuable consumer publications for your review.

How can manufacturers offer low rates like 0% or 1.9%?

Often you are giving up a rebate of thousands in order to get the low rate. We can give you a print-out comparing our rates with theirs — including the rebates.

Any vehicle-related topic is fair game for the Car Facts Centre! If we can help you find the facts you need, we will do so. If we don't have what the information you are looking for, we'll do our best to help you find it.
