The Ineffable Con Event with Rob Wilkins 2023 - SUMMARY
There will be Ineffable Con 4 this year - online! :) in October - link here :). Peter Anderson will join to talk about the Opening Titles! ❤ :). The Ineffable Cons if you haven't experienced are absolutely brilliant. Here is my recap of the second one in 2020, and here of the third one in 2021 :) (our wonderful organiser Bethany and Rachael got married in 2022 so there was no con but they had an ineffable themed wedding ❤! :)).
There is a charity auction for Alzheimer Research UK with Good Omens goodies Rob donated: Ineffable Crew Hoodie, Ineffable hat, Terry's biography signed by Rob, Good Omens book signed by David Tennant, Michael Sheen and Jon Hamm, and Good Omens bag (it's the wrap bag you could have seen cast posting :))
I loved this exchange :D ❤ -- Rob: You can ask me anything. -- What happens in Good Omens Season 2? -- Rob: Oh, I walked right into that one :).
Terry's favourite curse word: bugger
In Season 2 there will appear the Good Omens book first edition - a character who is not Aziraphale will be taking it from the shelf
Rob loved talking with David Tennant about the Dragon Con where where there was more Crowley's than Doctors
Rob about S2: You will love it and it will break your heart in equal measures. 👀👀👀👀
Rob loves the Ineffable fandom :)❤.
Rob showed us:
Crowley's Devon watch from S1 and his new watch from S2 (Rob was wearing it :)) Crowley's Valentino glasses, Crowley's present glasses from S2 and some ?historic? Crowley glasses with the removable dark parts NIAT RUC sign and War's Ducatti, he has all the vehicles from Season 1 - and not the Bentley (Mary, she is still owned by the owner), but another Bentley. A big box with Agnes Nutter doll made for a BBC showcase exhibition that you press a button and get a prophecy. Connected to Season 2 - a signed mandoline by Neil. A new a Collen Doran painting for the Good Omens Graphic Novel - In The Beginning The Crowley painting by 'Leonardo da Vinci' (Paul Kidby) And also painting by 'Leonardo da Vinci' connected to Season 2 with a bird on the mountain - perhaps the scene with the bird sharpening it's beak will be there? :)❤

hi! May I request a GN!human Reader x TFA!Swindle,
maybe reader and swindle make some sort of deal with each other (but swindle being swindle) is the one who gets the better end of the deal.
A Mutually Beneficial Partnership
TFA Swindle x GN Human Reader
Warnings: None
Word Count: 1000+
You were nervous as you stood outside a large warehouse on a pier, waiting amongst a group of other people. This would be the first time you had ever personally attended a black market weapons auction, as you normally had your assistant Steve go in your place and represent you. Well, Steve got arrested for tax fraud and now you were stuck here amongst various shady and unsavory individuals you preferred to avoid.
You specialized in acquiring illegal merchandize, primarily weaponry, and selling it online through the dark web for maximum profit. Currently the hot items were anything Cybertronian, especially weapons. Ever since those autobots arrived on Earth, acquiring and selling Cybertronian items became very lucrative, but you knew how to be careful. Security opened the large garage-like door to the storage unit, allowing all attendees to enter in single-file, each “guest” being searched for weapons upon entry.
As you finally entered the venue, you found your seat and waited until the auction began. After the auctioneer graced the stage, multiple black market items began to circulate on and off the stage, many attendees shouting out their bids. Almost as soon as the first Cybertronian item, a null ray, appeared on stage the room was illuminated by bright spotlights. Aggressive voices resounded from loudspeakers held by Officer Fanzone, “EVERYONE PUT YOUR HANDS UP! YOU ARE ALL UNDER ARREST FOR PARTICIPATING IN THE ILLEGAL SALE OF CYBERTRONIAN WEAPONRY.” Various Detroit P.D. officers burst into the venue, followed by none other than Optimus Prime, sending everyone into a panicked frenzy.
Instead of heading for one of the exits like the other attendees, you made a beeline for the stage entrance, sneaking past the gaze of the officers. You made your way backstage and eventually found your way to the storage area where the illegal items were housed. As you attempted to find an escape route, you heard footsteps not far behind you. As you panicked, you spotted an unattended S.U.V./Jeep vehicle. You rush towards the vehicle and pull on the door handle and quickly climb inside, hoping to hide.
To your horror, the exit doors of the building open up allowing a flood of Detroit P.D. officers inside. Suddenly the engine turns on, and the vehicle peels towards the exit, forcing the officers to dive out of the way. In the passenger seat, you start to freak out as you’re taken on a terrifying ride via a self-driving car.
After what felt like a lifetime, the vehicle finally came to a stop after reaching a rural and isolated area away from the warehouse. The passenger door opens and you bolt out of the vehicle, adrenaline coursing through your veins.
Suddenly the vehicle before you transformed into a massive robot. No, a Decepticon, you thought as you recognized the purple insignia on the robot. The Decepticon, Swindle, looked down at (Y/N), “Well, if this isn’t an unexpected situation we have here. That was a close call with the police and Optimus Prime of all things.”
You were in shock, but you were also upset at this situation you were now in. You shouted up at Swindle, “Unexpected situation? You’re the one who kidnapped me!”
Raising an optic ridge at (Y/N), Swindle leans downwards to get a closer look, “Well pardon the intrusion, but you were the one who tried to use me to hide. Not to mention, I graciously helped you escape. Otherwise you’d most likely be in a prison cell, hm?”
You froze, surprised by both the nerve and wit of this Decepticon, and the fact that you hadn’t been blasted to smithereens yet. Hesitantly you spoke, “Okay you have a point… Thank you?”
“HEYY, think of it as an investment towards a future partnership!” Swindle gestures towards you. “Now, what is a human like you doing attending a black market auction for Cybertronian weapons? You don’t look the type if I’m being honest,” he notices your attire lacked the usual ‘shady’ vibe most humans dawned at such criminal events.
You were hesitant to divulge any of your personal information to a Decepticon, but you had no idea what he would do if you weren’t cooperative. “This was my first time going to one of these things. Normally I hire someone to attend for me, but my usual go-to was compromised so I had to cut ties and go myself.”
Swindle is intrigued by your response, a smirk creeping across his face as he senses a potential opportunity before him to gain a human puppet *ahem* partner… He flashed an optimistic and charming smile, “You know, I’m actually looking for a partner myself. Perhaps you and I could… make a deal? Form a sort of… mutually beneficial relationship? Professionally speaking, of course.”
Being in a tight spot yourself, you entertained the idea. After all, when would you get such an opportunity again? A Cybertronian business partner could provide certain advantages which your competitors surely lacked. “And what exactly do you propose?” you asked curiously, wondering what sort of arrangement you’d be getting yourself into.
“Nothing unreasonable or too risky. You’d be attending more of these events, and you’ll spot the merchandise. Relay what you see back to me, and I’ll tell you which items are worth the most. And depending if we’re short on funds, you let me in the back and we’ll slip out with the merchandise and be out of there before anyone knows what hit em.”
After weighing the pros and cons, you give your answer, “Decepticon, I think you have a deal” extending your hand towards him.
Swindle struggles to keep his smile genuine as you agree, “The name’s Swindle, and you, my new business partner?”
“Y/N. I suppose this will be a rather interesting partnership,” you replied, a nervous smile on your face. A smug look crossed Swindle’s faceplate before he transformed into his alt-mode and opened the door for you. A very interesting partnership… his thoughts were dubious to say the least as the two of you drove away.

I know I am going to regret this, but « You're throwing away our history like it meant nothing. » for the prompt game? *insert puppy eyes*
I am going to be fickle and write you FLUFF for that one. Auctioneer!Magnus AU for no particular reason other than I think it's hilarious.
(It's a car auction. Because Jace is a car salesman. A very nice one who does not cheat people! But still. For context, a car auction like the one I'm writing is basically a giant hanger with open doors on both sides that the cars that are for sale drive through. There's an individual auctioneer at each lane; they have a stand in the middle so they can look down on see all the potential bidders.)
All the dealers know Magnus' name. (Everyone in the building always knows his name.) Even if he wasn't him, even if he didn't say hello to everyone and learn their names and dress to impress -- with a lift of his chin whenever someone starts to get that look in their eyes, daring them to say something about his clothes or his make-up or his attitude, gifting them a toothy smile when they wince and back down -- Magnus always introduces himself at the start of every sale and whenever he moves to a new lane of cars, just like he's supposed to.
Though he makes sure he announces himself extra loud and clear and proud and with a wink towards his favorite buyer whenever he's there.
Alec, from Lightwood Motors. Magnus always says his full name, Alexander, watches to see the tiny hint of a smile that tucks in the corner of Alec's mouth when he does.
Magnus likes the way it rolls off his tongue, never uses just 'Alec' or his dealership's name like the other auctioneers who recognize him every week, never references him by his shirt or jacket or the color of the adorable knit beanie and finger-less gloves he wears when it's cold, not even by any of the bidder numbers he puts on the back of his binder, a neat grid against the dark blue leather, no leftover bits and pieces from last week's badges behind them like half the other dealers.
Alec is meticulous. Precise. Focused on his plan, on what he's doing, on exactly how much he thinks a vehicle is worth. He'll make a counter-offer occasionally when there's no one else bidding against him and the seller wants a little more, but he never jumps back into the bidding after he says no. Never lets another bidder push him up just one more time when he's bidding on a popular vehicle. It's the worst possible trait in a buyer from the auction house's perspective, of course, but Magnus finds it charming.
Magnus finds everything about Alec charming. His height, the contrast between his pale skin and his messy black hair, his ridiculous eyelashes that Magnus can't even blame on mascara, the way he can either scowl or smile just with his eyebrows. The incredibly neat handwriting Magnus has glimpsed when he's taking notes, how he double-checks the run list in his binder for every car, every time, just to be sure, the slight hint of teeth visibly pushing against his bottom lip whenever he's doing extra math in his head, the fact that he's never on the phone with the owner but always has final say on his bids himself.
The way he has never once made Magnus wait for his next bid, ready with the faintest tip of his chin (up with an echoing lift of his eyelids for yes, down and to the left as his eyes almost close for no) as soon as Magnus is looking at him.
Well. That's not quite true. Magnus always has half an eye on Alec. But Alec always bids as soon as it's his turn, always keeps track of who else is bidding, whether it's online or someone else on the floor, never gets behind, never loses his place. Not even when the auction is training a new clerk, and the display is periodically a step or two behind.
(Magnus suspects that Alec is, in fact, completely focused on Magnus, that he enjoys seeing Magnus as much as Magnus enjoys seeing him, but Magnus refuses to attempt to quantify it to prove himself right. He's certainly never going to ask.
Because then he might prove himself wrong, and that would be... unfortunate.)
He refuses to admit to anyone here, or himself, refuses to admit even to Cat or Ragnor on the rare occasions they pretend to care about cars, (only because they care about him, as they're much more likely to appreciate his stories about estate sales or art auctions, but those are specialty events, and he quite likes the steady loop of car auctions every week, NYC to Jersey to Delaware and back), that every time he sees Alec in his lane there's a greedy little voice in the back of his head saying 'mine'.
Which is stupid, he knows it's stupid, he knows Alec buys other cars from other sellers, not just the ones Magnus works for, that he is only in Magnus' lane every week because it's his job, but Magnus can't seem to stop the voice.
And the other buyer from Lightwood is never in his lanes.
Lydia is always impeccably put together, cool and pale and blonde and beautiful, wearing sleek slacks or a pencil skirt most weeks regardless of the weather, an engagement ring glinting on one finger and a single gold chain around her neck. She doesn't quite reach Alec's shoulder, even in her sensible pumps, and the sight of them standing side-by-side comparing notes would be slightly amusing on those grounds. Except they can both judge someone with a single lifted eyebrow at 10 paces, and there are few people with the nerve to survive that.
Magnus only works with Lydia if he's giving a break or covering for an auctioneer on leave. And even then he sometimes thinks he sees Alec in the lane across the way, glancing back as if he's thinking 'mine' too, as if he'd rather be there than let his co-worker bid with Magnus.
Magnus is ridiculous, is what he is, but that's alright. Alec doesn't seem to mind. He's still got that almost dimple every week when Magnus introduces himself at the start of the sale.
_
Until Alec's not there.
One week happens, now and then, and Magnus sighs sadly to himself and does his (less pretty than usual) job.
But Alec's not there the next week either, or the one after that, and Lydia is, Lydia is bidding in his lane. She doesn't stay there like Alec mostly did; he was tall enough he could cover two lanes only by switching which way he leaned, and only occasionally bothered to walk somewhere else.
Lydia is hopping lanes, walking back and forth, looking for whatever vehicles she's saved on her list. She occasionally even looks flustered, which is a rare occurence for her, she's generally terrifyingly competent, but she is trying to cover all eight lanes by herself, and that is, for most of the larger dealerships, a two or three person job. (Big Mike's usually has four buyers, but that's because Mike Jr. is a terrible micromanager and takes up half their time second-guessing them.)
Magnus is afraid to ask her about Alec, isn't sure how to approach her or what he'd say even if he did: 'Hi, we've never technically met, but where's tall, dark, and handsome, I miss him?'
Obviously he could just ask why she's covering by herself, but he's afraid he'd fail entirely at sounding casual, and then he'd be right back at 'please share personal information about your co-worker with a sort-of stranger?'
He looks up the Lightwood Motors website on his break but there's nothing out of order there, and Alexander's head shot is on the about page; he's a Lightwood too, fancy title and general manager of something or other, and Magnus clicks it closed, too flustered to read it properly.
Not just some random buyer, not just Magnus' favorite, it probably all had been in Magnus' head, and it ought to be a relief that he'd never said anything to anyone, never approached Lightwood directly, never embarrassed himself by acting like they knew each other when it was just sales banter, only professional camaraderie while surrounded by car exhaust.
Too much car exhaust over the years had damaged his judgement?
He didn't quite believe himself, but he tried. What else was there to do?
-
Magnus got a call from the Florida office of his management agency; Lorenzo was out for some sort of family emergency, could he cover an auction down there for a few weeks?
It was the day after his Delaware auction, which was the shortest one already, and Florida was an easier flight than California, which he'd done when Malcolm retired until they could find someone more local, so he said yes.
His first week he got moved off the lane he'd prepared for, and ended up selling for Lightwood Motors. The agent on the floor was from the auction, so no luck there, and the seller from the dealer was online.
Just his luck. Jumped south six states and he was still getting teased by the lack of his favorite pretty boy. “And who do we have with us from Lightwood?” Magnus asked before their first car. “I don't suppose it's Alexander?”
The online agent literally keysmashed in the chat box, and Magnus tilted his head. The clerk at the computer even let loose a giggle; she'd apparently never seen that before either.
[Sorry, this is Jace.] The second chat message was more normal. [Alec doesn't do sales, just buys. But it's nice to meet you, Magnus.]
“You too,” Magnus managed without sounding at all disappointed, and once again he did his job.
It was only later that he realized he hadn't introduced himself after Lightwood Motors had gotten online; they'd been the third seller in his lane. Had that 'Jace' just been listening to the lane before he signed in, or had that keysmash meant more than Magnus realized, did he recognize an auctioneer who knew Alexander rather than Alec?
Was Magnus being even more ridiculous this time? Or was it maybe not just in his head?
Only now he had to wait three whole days until he'd be back at the NYC auction and could make himself ask Lydia directly.
-
Only when he got to work on Monday, he didn't have to look for Lydia. There was Alexander, leaning against the wall beside the employee entrance, all long legs and ducked head and hands rubbing together.
Magnus almost tripped over his new boots and stopped with a mortifyingly audible stutter of heels against concrete.
Alexander looked up, and his expression softened, but it wasn't a smile, not quite, Magnus didn't know what it was, or what was happening, or why Alexander was specifically here where the dealers generally weren't and, "what?"
Alexander shrugged, making Magnus realized he must have said something out loud, even if he couldn't now remember what.
"Could we?" Alexander's head tilted, just as eloquent with his eyebrows as he'd always been when bidding, and Magnus followed him over to what had once been a smoker's nook, an old empty ashtray around the corner with an ugly green awning to protect it from the worst of the wind or rain.
"Mr Lightwood," Magnus began, which wasn't at all what he'd wanted to say, but he wasn't sure how to start anything else. He stopped as soon as Alexander winced.
"I suppose I deserved that."
Magnus opened his mouth, and shut it again. "I am very confused, Alexander."
That time he got a smile, and he couldn't help but smile back.
"Is it weird to say I've missed you?" Alexander glanced sideways at him, his hands still pressing against each other in what seemed to be a nervous tic. "I mean, we've never even introduced ourselves, but..."
Magnus reached out, and let one hand slide between Alexander's long fingers. His smile widened as he felt Alec's thumb start to rub against one of his rings rather than digging into Alec's other hand again.
"You're throwing away our long and meaningful history! I introduce myself to you every week, and you're just ignoring that? I'm offended."
Alexander snorted, and Magnus grinned in delight, ignoring how his hand felt almost chilly as Alec's fingers slipped free now that he'd stopped fidgeting. "There you are, I thought you had a sense of humor."
"You're probably the only one."
"I don't know, Lydia smiles when you roll your eyes at the other dealers, that seems promising."
Alec's head tilted, and this time Magnus couldn't tell what his eyebrows were saying. "You noticed that?"
I always notice what you're doing. Magnus wasn't sure he should say that. He just hummed instead.
"So I was, uh." Alec stopped. He was, perhaps, flushing very slightly pink. "I kept wanting to send you pictures while I was gone, but I don't, we don't. I only even know your last name because you're registered on the website, I mean--"
"Alexander!" Magnus cut him off, not sure he'd be able to survive any more of the delight that was rising up through his chest as if to drown him. "Did you look me up online?"
Alec's eyes widened, and his mouth opened but nothing came out. He was definitely starting to blush, but he looked almost horrified rather than anything more enjoyable for either of them, so Magnus kept going before Alec thought that was a problem. "I did that too, how did you think I knew you were an actual Lightwood rather than just a Lightwood dealer?"
Alec's mouth closed, and there, there was that almost smile again, the edge of his mouth tucking in tight and giving a hint of a dimple. "We're maybe a pair of idiots."
Magnus laughed. "I guess we are. Give me your number, pretty boy, and tell me more about those pictures, and all mutual idiocy will be forgotten?"
Alec handed over his phone, already open to an add contact screen, and shook his head ruefully. "I don't even know how you managed to say 'pictures' like that."
"It's a gift," Magnus said. He finished putting in his number, sending a heart-emoji as a message to himself before he gave the phone back so he'd have Alec's number too.
Alec glanced down, his smile widening for a moment before he put his phone back in his pocket. "I hate to disappoint you but I was driving cross-country with my little brother for one last 'adventure' before moving him into his dorms, so the pictures are entirely child-friendly."
"Aww," Magnus let out before he could stop himself. "That's so sweet. Did you take pictures of giant balls of twine and slightly out of focus mountains and diners surrounded by fields of corn?"
Alec blinked. "That's pretty accurate, actually."
"And you wanted to send them to me?" Magnus' voice was softer than he'd intended, not really teasing at all. "Really?"
"Every one." Alec reached a hand out and Magnus held it, both of them clearly doing it on purpose this time. “Join me for an early dinner after the sale, and I'll show them to you?”
Magnus almost swooned, and didn't even attempt to hide it. "It's a date, Alexander."

Imagine: the excitement of the hunt, the excitement of a bet, and the opportunity to leave with a good deal. Buying a car at a car auction takes some preparation and research, but the reward is well worth the chance to drive the car at a super-affordable price. On some online auctions, such as A Better Bid, you can get a good model like ford bronco 1964 at a very affordable price.
Buying a car at auction? In person or online, what will you choose - state or public auction? But wait, before you hit the auction or log into your laptop, let's talk about best practices. First, where do these cars come from? And more importantly, how do you ensure that you are making a smart investment? There are some very cool events going on at car auctions where you can bid on cars and get great deals. Some auctions are exclusive to car dealers, but others are open to the public and you can find them all over the country. In fact, there are tons of them in many states. And the best part: you don't even have to leave your home to participate! It's like buying a house without even setting foot in it. So why not give it a try and see what rides you can get!
Are you looking to spice up your online shopping experience? Why not try attending an online auction! Of course, this option may not be for the indecisive or picky shopper, but it's definitely worth a shot. Some auctions even allow you to bring a mechanic to check out the vehicle beforehand, but beware of those that keep the VIN a secret - that's usually a red flag. Add some excitement to your online shopping and give an auction a try! Have you ever wondered how cars end up at auction? It's not always because of a terrible accident or a car's last breath. In fact, some cars are there because rental companies or financial services firms just didn't want them anymore. And, during the pandemic, rental companies were selling off their vehicle fleets in droves. Another reason cars end up at auction is because they were seized or repossessed by banks, the IRS, or other government agencies.
Stepping up to the auction car buying game? You might be wondering how to get into those closed-off auctions. Well, without a dealer license, it's a no-go. But don't get discouraged - there are plenty of public options for you to explore. If you're going for an in-person auction, make sure to do your homework first. Each auction has its own unique rules and caters to different markets.

How Do You Usage Cheats in COD MW2?
The most recent COD MW2 Ranked Play update brought an array of new cheats in the game. It's not pretty. The cheating feature of this game has been upgraded substantially for the current season.
Cheats typically consist of alphanumeric codes, or combinations of keyboards that provide gamers with an advantages over others. Cheats can be utilized in different ways to get various effects or gameplay.
1. Aimbot
Aimbot is a tool that allows gamers to target their enemies automatically. It works by analyzing the positions of players and automatically changing how the crosshairs are positioned to be in line with the exact location of an enemy. It allows players to take out adversaries in extremely unlikely methods, like body or head shots, without having to exert any effort at all from the participant.
This type of cheat could be extremely controversial, and can ruin the game for other players. There are players who use it to increase their farming speed and increase their overall performance Many others utilize it to dominate the other players. As a result, it's crucial to be able to spot these kinds of cheaters and to report them.
They are found throughout the internet. These cheats are available in auction sites, where they are often sold at lower prices than the others. Another option is to look for the items on gaming forums.
2. Wallhack
Wallhack is a kind of game hack that lets players view friendly and enemy players by stepping over walls. It is a feature that occurs in many shooter games. Wallhacks is a way to get an advantage, allowing players to increase their farming speed and progress more quickly. Many wallhacks include overlays or boxes with colors that aid in highlighting the enemy. They can also show specific items including the player's vehicle, health bar, and explosives.
An MW2 glitch of recent times let players use a version of this cheat without needing a third-party application. The glitch displayed enemy names on walls. It was easy to identify and kill an adversaries.
The player can enable the MW2 Aimbot Wallhack feature by launching the console while playing the game. In order to do that, use the Backtick (also also known as the tilde or grave key). Enter the command into the console, found in the menu "Game Options" on the main menu.
3. ESP
youtube
In a competitive game like MW2, it's hard to guarantee an instant victory every single time. Luckily, ESP (electronic vision) can help you get that edge you require to beat your rivals. It allows you to see the details of your opponent like health, and weapons, through walls, or any other surface that is solid.

What is a VIN check?
A VIN check, also known as a vehicle history report or VIN lookup, is a process of obtaining information about a specific vehicle using its unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The VIN is a 17-character code that serves as a unique identifier for every motor vehicle.
A VIN check allows you to access detailed information about the history and condition of a vehicle, which can be useful when purchasing a used car or assessing the overall reliability and safety of a vehicle. The information obtained from a VIN check can include:
Ownership history: It provides details about the number of previous owners, including whether the vehicle was used as a rental car or fleet vehicle.
Accident history: This reveals if the vehicle has been involved in any reported accidents, including the severity of the damage and whether it was declared as salvage or rebuilt.
Title information: It provides information about the title status, such as if the vehicle has a clean title, salvage title, or has been declared as a total loss by an insurance company.
Odometer readings: This indicates the recorded mileage of the vehicle over its lifetime, helping to identify any potential odometer rollback or discrepancies.
Maintenance and service records: It may provide details about past maintenance and repair work, including dates, types of service performed, and any recalls associated with the vehicle.
Theft records: It alerts you if the vehicle has been reported as stolen, allowing you to identify any potential legal issues.
Lemon law or manufacturer buyback: It reveals if the vehicle has been repurchased by the manufacturer due to significant defects or nonconformities under lemon laws.
VIN checks can be performed through various online services, which compile data from multiple sources such as government records, insurance companies, auto auctions, and other databases. It is generally recommended to obtain a vehicle history report or perform a VIN check before purchasing a used car to make an informed decision and identify any potential issues or red flags associated with the vehicle.

Buy Used Cars in Ontario: Affordable Deals Await!
If you're looking to buy a car in Ontario without breaking the bank, purchasing a used car is a smart and cost-effective solution. The pre-owned vehicle market offers a wide range of options, allowing you to find a car that fits your lifestyle, budget, and needs. In this guide, we'll explore why buying a used car in Ontario is a great choice, how to find the best deals, and tips to ensure your purchase is smooth and stress-free.
Why Buy Used Cars in Ontario?
Cost Savings Used cars are significantly cheaper than new ones, allowing you to get more value for your money. A brand-new car loses 20-30% of its value in the first year alone, meaning a used car provides better long-term financial stability.
Lower Depreciation Unlike new cars, used vehicles experience slower depreciation. This means your investment holds its value better, making it a financially wiser decision.
Reduced Insurance Costs Insurance premiums are often lower for used cars because the vehicle’s value is less than that of a new one.
Variety of Options Ontario has a vast used car market, ranging from compact sedans to luxury SUVs, making it easier to find the perfect fit.
Environmental Impact Purchasing a used car contributes to sustainability by reducing the demand for new vehicle production, which is resource-intensive.
Where to Buy Used Cars in Ontario
Dealerships Many certified dealerships in Ontario offer pre-owned vehicles that undergo rigorous inspections. Opting for a certified pre-owned (CPO) car provides added peace of mind with warranties and guarantees.
Online Marketplaces Websites like Kijiji, AutoTrader, and Facebook Marketplace are popular platforms to find used cars in Ontario. They allow you to compare options and filter listings based on location, price, and model.
Private Sellers Buying directly from private sellers can lead to great deals, but it’s crucial to perform due diligence to ensure the car is in good condition.
Auctions Vehicle auctions, both online and in-person, offer an exciting way to find affordable deals. However, auctions often require quick decision-making, so research and preparation are essential.
Tips for Finding the Best Deals on Used Cars in Ontario
Set a Budget Determine how much you’re willing to spend, including additional costs like taxes, registration, and insurance. Sticking to your budget will help you narrow down options.
Research Vehicle History Always request a Carfax Canada report or equivalent to check for accidents, ownership history, and maintenance records.
Inspect the Vehicle Hire a trusted mechanic to perform a pre-purchase inspection to identify any potential issues.
Negotiate the Price Don't be afraid to negotiate. Sellers, especially private ones, are often open to reasonable offers.
Look for Certified Pre-Owned Cars Certified pre-owned cars come with warranties and thorough inspections, making them a safer option for buyers.
Key Factors to Consider When Buying Used Cars in Ontario
Mileage A lower mileage vehicle may cost more but generally has less wear and tear. However, a well-maintained high-mileage car can also be a good deal.
Make and Model Consider reliable brands known for longevity, such as Toyota, Honda, or Subaru, to minimize repair costs in the long run.
Condition Look for signs of rust, paint damage, or uneven tire wear, which could indicate underlying problems.
Fuel Efficiency With fluctuating gas prices, a fuel-efficient car can save you money over time.
Ownership Costs Research the car’s insurance rates, maintenance costs, and potential repairs to ensure it fits within your budget.
Used Car Financing Options in Ontario
If you don’t have the funds to buy a used car outright, there are several financing options:
Bank Loans Many banks in Ontario offer competitive rates for car loans.
Dealer Financing Dealerships often have in-house financing options with flexible payment plans.
Credit Unions Credit unions can provide lower interest rates compared to traditional banks.
Personal Loans If other options don’t work, a personal loan can help you finance your used car purchase.
Benefits of Buying from Ontario’s Used Car Dealerships
Warranty Options Many dealerships provide warranties, which protect you from unexpected repair costs.
Legal Protection Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act safeguards buyers against unfair practices, ensuring transparency.
Trade-In Opportunities Dealerships often accept trade-ins, reducing the cost of your new-to-you car.
Top Used Car Models to Consider in Ontario

Toyota Corolla A durable and low-maintenance compact sedan.
Ford Escape A versatile SUV perfect for Ontario’s changing seasons.
Mazda3 Combines sporty performance with excellent fuel economy.
Hyundai Elantra Offers great value with a comfortable interior and advanced features.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Buying a Used Car
Skipping a Test Drive Always test drive the car to assess its performance, comfort, and handling.
Ignoring Vehicle History Reports Overlooking a car’s history can lead to costly surprises later.
Not Comparing Prices Research market prices to ensure you’re getting a fair deal.
Focusing Solely on Price A cheap car with hidden issues can cost more in repairs. Balance price with quality.
Rushing the Decision Take your time to explore options and conduct thorough research.
Legal Considerations When Buying Used Cars in Ontario
Transfer of Ownership Ensure the seller provides a completed Used Vehicle Information Package (UVIP), which includes key details like ownership history and lien status.
Safety Standards Certificate A safety certificate is required to register the vehicle and ensure it meets Ontario’s safety standards.
Taxes and Registration Be prepared to pay 13% HST and registration fees when transferring ownership.
Liens Verify that the vehicle is free of liens to avoid legal complications.

How to Successfully Import a Japanese Car: Tips and Tricks
If you’ve always dreamed of owning a unique, high-quality Japanese car, you’re not alone. Japanese cars are known for their reliability, innovative technology, and sleek design. Importing a Japanese car can be an exciting experience, but it can also be a bit tricky if you’re not familiar with the process. Whether you want a classic model, a luxury car, or a special edition, knowing how to successfully import a Japanese car is key to making sure everything goes smoothly.
In this guide, we will walk you through the essential steps of importing a Japanese car, providing you with tips and tricks to ensure a hassle-free experience. From understanding the legal requirements to choosing the right car, here’s everything you need to know.
1. Understand the Legal Requirements
Before diving into the world of car imports, it’s crucial to familiarize yourself with the legal requirements for importing a Japanese car. Each country has specific regulations, and failing to comply can lead to complications, delays, or even the rejection of your car import.
In the United States, for example, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) set strict regulations for vehicles that are imported. These rules cover everything from emissions standards to safety features. Make sure the car you plan to import meets these standards, or you may need to make modifications.
Different countries may have different standards, so it's essential to check the local rules for importing cars. For example, some countries have stricter rules for emissions, while others focus on safety standards. Researching these regulations early on will help you avoid unexpected surprises later in the process.
2. Find a Reliable Importer or Agent
Navigating the import process can be complicated, especially if you’re new to it. One of the easiest ways to ensure a smooth import is by hiring a reliable car importer or agent. These professionals are well-versed in the import process and can help you with everything from paperwork to shipping.
A good importer will be able to guide you through the entire process, including handling customs, taxes, and ensuring the vehicle meets all legal requirements. They can also help you find the specific Japanese car model you're looking for, whether it’s a rare classic or a popular newer model.
Make sure to do your research when choosing an importer. Look for one with experience and good reviews from previous clients. You can also ask for recommendations from car forums or online communities where people discuss importing cars.
3. Choose the Right Japanese Car Model
Japan is home to some of the most iconic car brands, including Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Subaru, and Mazda. These brands offer a wide range of vehicles, from fuel-efficient sedans to high-performance sports cars. When importing a car from Japan, it’s important to know exactly what kind of vehicle you want and which model fits your needs.
Popular models such as the Toyota Supra, Nissan Skyline, and Subaru Impreza have gained a cult following among car enthusiasts. If you’re after a specific model, be sure to narrow down your search early. Japanese car auctions are a great way to find rare or used cars at competitive prices. Websites that specialize in Japanese car imports often offer access to these auctions.
If you’re looking for a used car, be mindful of its condition. Some cars may have wear and tear, so it’s important to request detailed photos and a thorough inspection report. A good importer or agent will be able to assist with these checks. Get more info How to Import a Car from Japan
4. Get a Pre-Purchase Inspection
When importing a car, it’s essential to know its condition before making a purchase. The last thing you want is to spend a significant amount of money only to find that the car is in worse condition than expected. This is especially true for used cars, which may have hidden mechanical or cosmetic issues.
To avoid this, make sure to request a pre-purchase inspection (PPI). A PPI is typically conducted by a qualified mechanic who will inspect the car’s mechanical and structural integrity. The inspection report will give you a clear understanding of the car's condition and any repairs or maintenance that may be needed.
Some importers offer this service, but if you’re dealing directly with the seller, you might need to arrange the inspection yourself. This step is crucial to ensure that you are making an informed purchase.
5. Understand the Import Taxes and Fees
In addition to the cost of the car itself, there are various taxes and fees that you’ll need to account for when importing a Japanese car. These can include customs duties, value-added tax (VAT), and other charges related to shipping and handling.
Customs duties vary depending on the country of import and the car’s value. It’s essential to get an estimate of these fees before making a purchase so that you can budget accordingly. A reliable car importer can help you calculate the expected costs, including taxes and duties, to avoid any financial surprises.
In some cases, you may also need to pay for modifications to meet local regulations. For example, cars imported into the United States may require changes to meet emission standards. Factor these costs into your budget when planning the import process.
6. Shipping the Car from Japan
Shipping the car from Japan to your country is a crucial part of the import process. Depending on where you live, shipping can take several weeks or even months. There are two main methods for shipping a car: roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) and container shipping.
RoRo is the more affordable option, where the car is driven onto a ship and secured for the journey. It’s a great option if you want to save money, but it does expose the car to the elements. On the other hand, container shipping is more expensive but offers better protection for your car since it’s packed inside a container.
Make sure to choose a shipping method that suits your needs and budget. Be sure to track the shipment regularly and check the condition of the car once it arrives.
7. Prepare for Customs Clearance
Once your Japanese car arrives, it will need to clear customs before it can be delivered to your address. Customs clearance can take time, so be patient and be prepared to provide all the necessary documentation.
This documentation typically includes proof of purchase, the car's title, proof of insurance, and any modification or inspection certificates required by your local regulations. Customs will also inspect the car to ensure that it complies with safety and environmental standards.
If everything is in order, your car will be released and you can proceed with registration and licensing. If there are any issues, you may need to work with your importer or a customs broker to resolve them.
8. Register and Insure Your Imported Car
The final step in importing a Japanese car is to register and insure it. To do this, you will need to provide your local motor vehicle authority with the car's documentation and proof of compliance with safety and environmental standards.
Insurance is also essential, as you’ll need coverage for the car once it’s on the road. Make sure to contact your insurance provider ahead of time to arrange coverage for your imported car. Some insurers may specialize in imported or classic cars, so it’s worth exploring different options.
Conclusion
Importing a Japanese car can be a rewarding experience, but it requires careful planning and research. From understanding the legal requirements to choosing the right car, there are many factors to consider. By working with a reliable importer, ensuring the car meets local regulations, and being aware of shipping and tax costs, you can successfully bring a Japanese car into your country and enjoy all the benefits it has to offer.
Remember, the key to a successful import is being informed and prepared. With the right guidance and a bit of patience, your dream of owning a Japanese car can become a reality.
