Find a Used Toyota in Quebec

Why Toyota leads on reliability in Quebec

Toyota holds the top spot in the Consumer Reports ranking year after year and is in the top 3 at J.D. Power for long-term reliability. For a Quebec driver who has to deal with harsh winters, road salt and long daily commutes, that is not a detail: it is what makes the difference between a vehicle that lasts 8 years and one that lasts 15.

On the used market, that translates into exceptional resale value. A 5-year-old Corolla loses about 35% of its value, versus 50% for the segment average. Informed buyers know that paying a little more for a used Toyota secures a lower total cost of ownership over time.

The most sought-after Toyota models in Saint-Joseph-du-Lac and the Laurentians

Our Laurentians customers mostly look for three Toyota profiles:

• Toyota RAV4: compact SUV, standard all-wheel drive on the XLE/Limited versions, ideal for the country roads around Oka or Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac. 2015 to 2021 models are in high demand, RAV4 Hybrid models even more so.
• Toyota Corolla: the sedan that never lets you down. Low fuel consumption (5.9 L/100 km), parts everywhere, well-documented mechanicals. The number 1 choice for students and commuters to Laval or Montreal.
• Toyota Tacoma: the mid-size pickup that survives anything. Towing capacity up to 6,800 lb, double cab for the family, better resale value than any North American pickup. TRD Off-Road versions are popular with contractors and outdoor enthusiasts in the Laurentians.

We also regularly get Camry (reliable mid-size), Highlander (3 rows, perfect for families), 4Runner (rugged body-on-frame SUV) and Prius (the original hybrid, champion of fuel economy).

The Toyota hybrid advantage in Quebec

Toyota has 25 years of experience with hybrid powertrains, and it shows in the durability of its batteries. The Toyota hybrid battery is warrantied for 10 years or 240,000 km on recent models, the longest battery warranty in the industry.

In Quebec, the advantage is twofold: fuel savings in the city (as low as 4.5 L/100 km on the Prius) and strong cold-start performance thanks to the hybrid system that assists the gasoline engine. The RAV4 Hybrid, Camry Hybrid and Corolla Hybrid are eligible for preferential financing programs and resell for $2,000 to $3,000 more on average than their gasoline equivalents.

Our used Toyota inspection at BonAuto

Before a used Toyota reaches our lot in Saint-Joseph-du-Lac, it goes through a complete mechanical inspection that checks:

• Brake condition (pads, rotors, hydraulic lines)
• Suspension (ball joints, links, control arms, shocks)
• Steering (rack, pump, alignment)
• Cooling system (thermostat, water pump, radiator)
• CVT or conventional automatic transmission (fluid change + code scan)
• On hybrids: battery health test + condition of the control module
• Frame and underbody (corrosion, welds, mounting points)
• Air conditioning, heating, defrosting
• Tires and alignment
• Review of the complete CARFAX report with accident and maintenance history

Vehicles are covered by the Quebec legal warranty (LPC) according to their age and mileage category. On request, we can add a 1 to 4 year extended warranty to cover the powertrain or bumper-to-bumper.
