Questions Answered

What's the best used SUV under $20,000 in Ontario?+
Most-recommended picks at this price: Toyota RAV4 (2017-2019), Honda CR-V (2017-2019), Hyundai Tucson (2018-2020), Mazda CX-5 (2017-2019), Ford Escape (2018-2020). Toyota and Honda hold value strongest; Hyundai and Mazda often offer more features at the same price.
Can I get a used truck for under $20,000?+
Yes, but expect older or higher-mileage units — typically 2014-2017 Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Ram 1500, or compact trucks like Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma with 150,000+ km. Crew cabs and 4x4s push the price up; regular cabs and 2WD stretch the budget.
What's the bi-weekly payment on a $20,000 car?+
On a 72-month term at typical Canadian used-car rates (7-9%), about $180-$220 bi-weekly. On a 60-month term, around $200-$240. Shorter terms cost more per month but save thousands in total interest — Car Guy Dealer's loan calculator shows the full breakdown.
Is $20,000 enough for a hybrid?+
For Toyota Prius and older Toyota Camry Hybrid, yes — typically 2015-2018 models with reasonable km. Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is tighter at this price; most under $20,000 will be 2018 or older. Honda hybrids and EVs generally need more budget.
Do I need a down payment at this price?+
Not always — many Car Guy Dealer financing approvals come through with zero down. A down payment lowers monthly payments and reduces total interest, but it's not a requirement for approval. The team can show you both options before you decide.
