safety is standard equipment
Safety is paramount, so Carisma cars get 2 Independent Inspections.
Before we buy a car, we pay for an Independent inspection to examine its structure. If it has holes, we don't buy it.
A second Independent Mechanical 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.
Comprehensive Warranty Included
New cars have Warranty, your used car can too! When you buy a used car, repairs after purchase become your responsibility. Having a good Warranty just makes good sense.

our return policy: final sale with 30 day pro-rated exchange
Our 30 day pro-rated exchange policy starts when you buy at the Advertised Price and take delivery of your car from Carisma. 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 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. In the event of any discrepancy of how this policy is applied, Carisma's decision is final.
