Where we work in St. John's
St. John's income does not look like a Toronto pay stub. Offshore rotations, fishery seasons, and contract work produce big cheques with gaps between them, and a bank often reads the gaps and stops. The lenders we use read the rotation schedule instead. Newfoundland and Labrador requires an inspection before a used vehicle changes hands and charges 15 percent HST, and a car shipped from the mainland carries a ferry cost, so we put the delivery in the payment before you say yes, never after.

No. You apply online first. We contact you, and you visit a lot only when there is an approval and a vehicle worth seeing.

Yes. We get buyers in St. John's approved with low scores, no credit history, and discharged or active insolvencies. What matters most is steady income and an affordable payment.
