Buying used in 2025 can be a smart choice. You skip the steep depreciation of a new car, gain more vehicle for your money and often pay lower insurance rates. Modern used vehicles come with advanced safety features, dependable engines and certified pre-owned options. A well-chosen used car can offer reliability and value without sacrificing the features you need.
The best used car for Winnipeg depends on your needs. Top picks include the Toyota Camry, Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. These models are known for reliability, low running costs and good resale value. SUVs like the RAV4 and CR-V handle icy Manitoba winters well, while sedans like the Camry and Civic are fuel-efficient and comfortable for city driving.
Canadians drive about 15,000 km per year on average, so a 10-year-old car often has around 150,000 km. This doesn’t mean higher mileage cars are bad. A well-maintained vehicle with 220,000 km can still provide many years of use, while a neglected low-mileage car can be trouble. Focus on service history and condition rather than the odometer alone.
Get a free vehicle history report from Ride Time to make an informed decision.
It can make sense if the vehicle has been well maintained. High-mileage cars typically cost less and depreciate more slowly. Many modern vehicles can last 200,000 km or more with proper care. Be sure to check maintenance records, look for signs of major repairs and budget for items like belts, brakes and tires.
Both mileage and age matter, but condition is most important. Mileage tells you how much wear the car has experienced, while age can lead to component deterioration even if the odometer is low. A newer car with higher kilometres but a solid service history can be a better buy than an older car that sat unused and didn’t receive regular maintenance.
Schedule a professional inspection with Ride Time to evaluate condition.
Check the vehicle’s service records and accident history. Look for regular maintenance, clean ownership reports and no major collision repairs. A pre-purchase inspection from a trusted mechanic can reveal hidden issues. Buying from a dealer that offers certified pre-owned vehicles adds peace of mind with inspections and warranties.
Contact Ride Time for a quality check and to explore certified pre-owned options.
Look for transparent pricing, detailed vehicle history, and a clean inspection report. Ask about any warranty or return policy, and make sure financing terms are clear. A reputable dealership will answer questions openly, avoid hidden fees and guide you through the process without pressure.
Used car financing works much like financing a new car. Dealers partner with multiple lenders to offer flexible terms. You can often get pre-approved online in minutes. If you’re new to Canada or rebuilding credit, special programs are available to help you qualify. Rates depend on your credit history, loan term and down payment.
Apply for financing with Ride Time to see what you qualify for.
Winter tires aren’t mandatory in Manitoba, but they are strongly recommended. Temperatures below seven degrees Celsius make all-season tires less effective. Winter tires improve traction, braking and handling on snow and ice. The province offers a Winter Tire Program with low-interest financing to help drivers equip their vehicles safely.
Ask Ride Time about The Manitoba Winter Tire Program options and installation.
Insurance rates depend on vehicle value, repair costs and safety ratings. Generally, compact cars like the Kia Soul, Subaru Impreza, Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Elantra and Honda Civic cost less to insure. SUVs like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V tend to have higher premiums but provide more space and all-wheel drive options for harsh winters.
Get pre-qualified for financing to see how these models fit your budget.
