Since 1999, Canadians new car buyers have saved thousands of dollars using CarCostCanada’s Free Price Report before purchasing a new car. Canadians across the country are now sharing their stories to show how everyone can save thousands on their next new car purchase using CarCostCanada’s services.

This week, let’s take a look at Sandra’s story and find out how she saved over $10,000 on her new Dodge Caravan using CarCostCanada’s Free Price Report.

When the old car is too small for the family’s need, it’s time for a change

Sandra, a 37-year-old mother of three kids from Winnipeg, Manitoba, works as an elementary school teacher. With a busy schedule with soccer and hockey practices, she is always on the go. Sandra also enjoys going camping and taking time out for herself with her weekly Zumba class as well as road trips to hockey and soccer tournaments.

With that kind of lifestyle, Sandra’s old car couldn’t keep up and was lacking space to fit everything. Therefore, she decided to start looking for a new car but did not know where to start or even what she really wanted. The only thing she knew was that she did not want to pay too much but needed a car that could keep up with her family lifestyle.

Finding the right tool to help you compare different car models and help you save

After a couple of weeks of looking online for information, she remembered a mother on the soccer team talking about CarCostCanada. She decided to go take a look on the website and saw how easy it was to get a report. She was also able to compare different car models, characteristics, buyer reviews, price point and see what was best suited for her.

In 3 easy steps, she was able to build her price report.  First, she built and priced her new car using CarCostCanada’s free report tool, just as she would have done with the manufacturer’s website.

Once her price report was generated she got the best price formula for her specific model by taking the dealer cost minus the incentive plus the dealer margin to see what the best possible price would be. 

Finally,  CarCostCanada helped her find the nearest dealership and meet with one of their professional representatives. She was able to get the best price and have a stress free buying experience. 

The perfect car for Sandra’s needs. The Dodge Grand Caravan

Since Sandra needed space in her car to store her hockey, soccer and camping equipment,  she chose the Dodge Grand Caravan that met her needs perfectly. Her CarCostCanada’s free report helped her saved over $10,000 on her new vehicle!

In the end, she used the money she saved  to book a weekend getaway with her husband to relax and do some hiking on the Mantario Trail.
