Marketplace by OpenRoad is an online storefront for vehicles from all OpenRoad Auto Group dealers in the Lower Mainland, bringing together the reputation, reliability, and vast vehicle selection of the entire auto group in a convenient and cohesive way.
Marketplace by OpenRoad allows you to browse, compare, and purchase vehicles online from the comfort of your home. Simply browse our inventory, choose your preferred vehicle, and complete the purchasing process either online or by visiting one of our participating dealerships.
Marketplace by OpenRoad sources its vehicles from OpenRoad Auto Group’s network of dealerships. Each vehicle is carefully selected, inspected, and prepared to ensure it meets our high standards for quality and reliability.
Marketplace by OpenRoad operates through 25 dealerships across the Lower Mainland in BC, representing 17 different OEM brands.
Unlike a traditional dealership, Marketplace by OpenRoad provides a centralized online platform where you can access the entire inventory from all OpenRoad Auto Group dealers. This offers a greater variety of vehicles and a streamlined, hassle-free buying experience, with the option to purchase online or in-person at any of our locations.
Every vehicle on Marketplace by OpenRoad undergoes an exhaustive 210-point inspection to ensure it meets our high standards for quality and safety. You can view the Carfax Canada report for every vehicle to get the facts on its history, including any previous accidents or damage.
We guarantee that every vehicle on Marketplace by OpenRoad has a clean title. We do not sell vehicles with rebuilt titles.
We are so confident with our vehicles that all of our units include a 7-day, or 150-kilometre, Peace of Mind Guarantee. Should a problem arise with the safety or functionality of your vehicle, we’ll promptly repair, exchange, or refund the vehicle. The vehicle must be presented before maximum days or kilometres are reached, whichever comes first, and in the original condition as first sold to the buyer by OpenRoad.

There are a number of factors that determine loan approval, including credit score, employment status and residency. We’ll do everything we can to help you through the process and put your best foot forward to take home the vehicle that’s right for you. Contact us to start the credit pre-approved process to find out how much you are qualified for.
On average, it will only take 1-2 business days to determine loan qualification. There may be times when more information is required, in which case, our team will reach out directly in a timely manner.
Interest rates fluctuate month to month, and can also vary depending on whether it is a fixed or variable rate, the lender, and also factors like your personal credit score.
Whenever a credit application is submitted, you can expect a small credit score change by 2-5 points. This step is part of the normal loan application process, and is required by third-party lenders to determine your loan eligibility. Your credit score will only be requested one time when you submit an application through OpenRoad, so rest assured your score will only change by the most minimal amount.
Our team has extensive experience working with clients with different credit scores and all sorts of credit situations, ranging from newcomers in the country, to international students. Talk to us and we will guide you through the loan approval process.
Every Marketplace by OpenRoad vehicle comes with a 90-day warranty. Additionally, depending on the year of the vehicle purchased, the manufacturer warranty coverage may still be valid on your new vehicle. Contact us to find out the coverage on your vehicle.
Each vehicle undergoes extensive inspections and reconditioning, which is why every unit comes with a 90-day or 5,000-kilometre powertrain warranty.

To qualify, the vehicle must be brought to us before reaching the time or kilometre limit, whichever comes first, and remain in the original condition as sold by OpenRoad.
