How can Carisma sell at better prices? 1. We advertise online, which costs less. 2. We don't spend money on cappucino machines, greeters and giant inflatable gorillas to entertain people who are "just looking". 3. We do business by appointment with people who are both ready and able to buy a car.

Safety is important, so Carisma cars get 2 Independent Inspections.
Before we buy a car, we pay for an Independent inspection to examine its undercarriage/structure. If it is not structurally sound, we don't buy it.
A second Independent Mechanical & Structural Inspection is then done by NAPA Autopro Sackville for a new 2 Year Nova Scotia Motor Vehicle Inspection, including a fresh oil change and any MVI-required service.

New cars have Warranty, your used car should too!
Having a good Warranty makes good sense, especially with a used car.
Remember: Repairs after purchase are 100% your responsibility, so please select the coverage that suits your needs....3 months to 3 years.
Lubrico Limited Superior covers most powertrain components, plus Alternator, Starter, Air Conditioning, Brakes, Steering, Suspension...100's of key components. (click on photo for more details)
Carisma is locally Senior Owned and Operated. We show our appreciation to 60+ Customers with the "Boomer Bonus"... no credit card surcharges, a full tank of gas and cash discount promotions like SPIN TO WIN. We want you to feel at home!
People who arrive ready to buy on their first visit with cash money in their pocket get to spin the "wheel of cashback" after they buy...you could receive up to $500 cash back. Plus, save $100 when you book your appointment online and buy on your first visit.
When Carisma buys a car, we purchase a CARFAX report, which helps us learn things about a car's history. We don't deal in cars that have been Title Branded as "Salvage" or "Rebuilt", for example. We share the CARFAX with you during your Appointment.

Carisma cars are sold on a Final Sale basis, with no refunds for part-payments (deposits) or payments in full. This is standard practice in Nova Scotia, whether you buy privately or from a dealer. Carisma is the only seller that we know of that offers a published 30 day return for pro-rated exchange policy. The 30 Day period starts when you purchase at the undiscounted Advertised Price (if the Exchange Policy box is checked in writing in your Bill of Sale). To exchange your car, book an appointment online and bring your car back within 30 days. Your Exchange Value will be Pro-Rated as as follows: 50 cents per Km on Odometer after taking delivery; Restocking Fee of 10%; Trade and/or Warranty Value are non-refundable. Vehicle must be returned without any new damage, outstanding issues or loans/liens to qualify. The Exchange Value is then applied towards another Carisma car of a Price greater than the original price you paid for the car you are exchanging. You will pay the difference between the second vehicle's Regular Advertised Price and the Exchange Value of the first, plus HST on the difference. An Exchanged car cannot be Exchanged. In the event of any discrepancy as to how this courtesy policy is applied, Carisma's decision is final.
Lots of people buy their cars Privately, but could use a helping hand with Dealer Services.
