# About OttoQuest

OttoQuest is a car search and price-tracking service for Canadian car buyers. Search new and used cars for sale in Canada, compare asking prices in Canadian dollars, and save a search to hear when new listings match.

## Find the car you want

[Browse cars for sale](https://ottoquest.com/ca/listings?condition=all) by make, model, trim, budget, kilometres and location. Compare a listing with similar cars, see recorded price changes where available, or use [Deal Check](https://ottoquest.com/ca/deal-check) to look up a listing link or VIN.

[Car listing alerts](https://ottoquest.com/ca/deals) watch for new matches to your saved search. Daily and weekly email alerts are free. [OttoQuest Pro](https://ottoquest.com/ca/pro) adds faster alerts and more detailed listing history. Alerts depend on when a source publishes a listing and when OttoQuest discovers it.

## Understand the asking price

OttoQuest brings together advertised car listings from across Canada. An advertised asking price is what a seller requests, not what a buyer paid; every price is in Canadian dollars.

Market values are estimates based on comparable cars and the data available for them. They are a starting point for research, rather than a guaranteed sale price. Read [how OttoQuest estimates car values](https://ottoquest.com/ca/methodology).

Before buying, confirm availability, condition, title, rebate eligibility, fees and the written out-the-door price with the seller.

## Common questions

### Is OttoQuest a car dealership?

OttoQuest is a research and search service. You use it to compare listings and prices, then confirm the car’s availability and purchase terms with the seller.

### Are car listing alerts free?

Daily and weekly listing alerts are free with an OttoQuest account. OttoQuest Pro adds faster alerts and more detailed listing history. Alert timing depends on when listings become available and when OttoQuest processes them.

### Does a listing’s price history show what the buyer paid?

Listing history records advertised asking-price changes that OttoQuest has observed. It does not establish the final negotiated sale price.

### Does every car have a complete price history?

No. Recorded history depends on what OttoQuest has observed for that car. It can miss earlier listings or changes between checks, so a short history does not prove that the price has never changed.
