Buying a used car shouldn’t feel like a guessing game. That’s where a vehicle history report — commonly known as a CARFAX Canada Report — comes in. It’s one of the most important tools Alberta buyers can use to understand a vehicle’s past before committing to its future. At BSPACE AUTOMOTIVE, every vehicle on our lot comes with a CARFAX report included — because we believe transparency builds confidence. Here’s everything you need to know about what those reports show (and why they matter).

If you’ve lived in Alberta for more than a year, you know that Calgary weather doesn’t play by the rules. ☀️❄️ In one week, you can see sunshine, snow, and black ice — sometimes all in a single day. So when it comes to tires, Calgary drivers often ask us: “Do I really need winter tires, or can I rely on all‑season ones?”

When you’re ready to buy a vehicle, one of the first questions that comes to mind is: 👉 “How much do I actually need for a down payment?” If you’ve ever searched online, you’ve probably seen a dozen different answers — 5%, 10%, 20%... but what’s realistic for used cars in Calgary right now? At BSPACE AUTOMOTIVE, we help Alberta drivers get behind the wheel regardless of their budget. Let’s break down how down payments really work, what lenders look for, and how to make the best choice for your situation.

Moving to a new country or starting your credit journey can be exciting — but it can also come with challenges, especially when you need reliable transportation. If you’re in Alberta and have no credit history or are new to Canada, getting approved for a used car loan can feel tricky. The good news? It’s absolutely possible.

That low monthly payment might look great on paper — but is it really the full story? 🤔 While many buyers focus on financing numbers, the real cost of owning a used car goes far beyond what you pay to the bank each month. Factors like insurance, maintenance, fuel, depreciation, and even your driving style can make a big difference to your wallet.

If you’re thinking about buying a used car, chances are you’re also wondering how your credit score will affect your loan rate. The truth? Your credit score doesn’t just determine whether you get approved — it plays a big role in how much interest you’ll pay.

The Canadian used car market has been through a rollercoaster over the past few years — from pandemic‑era price spikes to inventory shortages and now, a gradual return to balance. As we move through 2026, the market looks very different from what buyers and sellers were used to just a few years ago. So what’s really happening now — and what does it mean for Alberta drivers?

Buying a used car can be one of the smartest financial decisions you’ll ever make — if you know what to look for. While modern vehicles are built to last, some common issues can sneak up on unsuspecting buyers who don’t know what to check before signing. At BSPACE AUTOMOTIVE, we believe in educating customers, not scaring them. Here’s a breakdown of five common used car problems, how to recognize them, and how our inspection process catches them before they reach our lot.

Buying a used car in 2026 can save you thousands compared to new, but that odometer reading often makes buyers pause. Is 100,000 km a death sentence? What about 150,000 or 200,000? The short answer: there's no single "too many" number anymore. Modern cars are built tougher than ever, and with proper maintenance, many easily surpass 200,000 km—some even hit 300,000+. But kilometers still matter—it's just one piece of a bigger puzzle. Let's break it down so you can shop smarter in today's Canadian market (with a nod to Alberta drivers).

Buying a car is one of the biggest financial commitments most people make — and in 2026, vehicle financing continues to play a key role for Alberta drivers.
