Kijiji is the place to look for private-sale cars in Canada. On November 11, 2026, its Cars & Trucks category returned 136,808 results nationwide, with filters for make, model, maximum price, maximum kilometres and a Verified toggle for sellers. Many dealer listings in those results carry a CARFAX Report link and a price label such as Good price or Higher price. Kijiji's community help pages explain the rules: personal accounts get listing limits in Cars & Trucks, high-volume sellers are reclassified as dealers, and posting fees are charged for each 31-day listing period. That keeps casual private sellers free and pushes dealers onto paid ads. The catch is the usual one for classifieds: there is no platform warranty, inspection or return window on a private sale, so budget for a history report and a pre-purchase inspection. We compared documented features and published policies only.
