Are you in the market for a used car but aren’t sure where to begin with your used car search? Many of our customers have not been in the used car market for several years, which means that they may not be up-to-date with some of the information that is out there regarding used cars in Red Deer. These days, you may be surprised by the features and options that come available on many used cars that may not have been available when you were last in the used car market.

Here are 3 tips to help you make the right decisions when buying used cars – no matter how long it has been since you last bought a used car in Blackfalds:

Research financing options

Many of our customers are aware that there are financing options that are available for some used car customers. However, they often believe that these options will not apply to them either because they have bad credit or simply don’t know about what the options entail. We’re happy to let all of our customers know that we provide financing opportunities for all of our customers, including those customers with good and bad credit. There are many financing options that our customers may also be able to take advantage of, such as used car loans in Red Deer, trade-in opportunities, and special programs. Contact us for details.

Research the market

Especially if it has been awhile since you last bought a car, it’s important that you take time to research which options are available in the marketplace. These options will help you to determine what features come with used cars, how you can best use those used cars for your specific needs, and more. Contact us to test drive any of the used cars on your short-list or visit our online inventory to get a good overview of what used cars are currently available and of the features included in those used cars.

Always get a warranty

Many of our customers are surprised when we encourage them to get warranties on their used cars in Blackfalds. They think that if a car is used, it is ineligible for a warranty. However, thanks to our warranty department, all of our customers should get warranties for their used cars that will maximize their peace of mind.

We look forward to helping you get the right used car for your needs – and making sure that you know what is available. Contact us today to get started with your used car search!

Kia officially launched the long-awaited five-door version of its popular Forte in the Canadian market today. Marketed as the Forte5-Door, the new hatchback builds on the popular Forte compact sedan and Forte Koup by employing another practical yet modern iteration of the platform.

“The Forte5-Door is another key ingredient to the design-led transformation that Kia Motors is currently in the midst of” said Maria Soklis, Chief Operating Officer (COO) Kia Canada Inc. “The Forte5-Door provides Canadians the practicality and utility that is expected from our already successful Forte line-up”.

The Forte5-Door retains almost all styling cues from the successful Forte sedan, including a front fascia design that has been adapted by the sedan and Koup for 2011. The Forte5-Door completely differentiates the rear view from the Forte sedan. The rear of the vehicle includes a two-tone bumper on the SX package complemented by an integrated chrome exhaust tip as well as wrap around, multi-layer composite rear tail lamps. Available outside mirror LED turn signals and unique 16″ and 17″ alloy wheels also complement the look of the Forte5-Door.

The upscale interior of the Forte5-Door is replete with an impressive list of standard and optional equipment. Standard features on the base LX model include six airbags, anti-whiplash front headrests, power windows and locks, four speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio with AUX and USB inputs, voice activated Bluetooth, and steering wheel audio controls. The EX model adds two more speakers, telescopic steering wheel, and heated front seats. The top-of-the-line SX model adds Sirius satellite radio, automatic climate control, leather trimmed interior, supervision instrument cluster, and metallic interior accents. Push-button keyless start, navigation, rear-view camera, and auto-dimming interior mirrors are available on the SX Luxury trim.

The 2011 Forte5-Door door has two engine offerings including the 2.0-litre Theta II and the 2.4-litre Theta II engine. The 2.0L engine produces 156 horsepower and 144 lb.ft of torque. Tne larger 2.4L generates a hearty 173 horsepower and 168 lb.ft of torque. Both are mated to a standard 6-speed manual tranny or an available 6-speed auto.

In Canada, the 2011 Forte5-Door starts at $16,995 for the LX model. The EX model stickers at $19,195, while the SX model starts at $22,495 and tops out at $26,195 for the SX Luxury with automatic transmission.
