What is a Demo Vehicle?
Understanding demonstrator vehicles
Practically New, Significantly Less
A demo vehicle, also known as a demonstrator, is a new car that has been used by the dealership for test drives, displays, or as a loaner vehicle. These vehicles have never been owned by a private individual.
Demo vehicles typically have very low mileage (usually under 5,000 km) and are still considered new by the manufacturer, often retaining their full factory warranty.
Typical Demo Vehicle Profile:
- • Current or previous model year
- • Under 5,000 km mileage
- • Full manufacturer warranty
- • Latest features and technology
- • 10-20% discount from MSRP

- Are all service records and maintenance history available?
- Will I be the first registered owner?
- Are manufacturer incentives still available on demo vehicles?
Physical Inspection
- Inspect for any wear on seats, steering wheel, or pedals
- Check for any minor scratches or dings from parking lots
- Verify all features and options are working properly
