FAQ
Q - How did the Car2byStrada initiative start?
A - We grew tired and frustrated of seeing the same ideas and concepts emphasising the past.
Q - What do you mean by the past?
A - The automotive landscape is constantly evolving. The majority of the players are all doing the same things. Everybody is answering the same antiquated questions when it comes to used vehicles.
Q - Used cars, conservation, recycling, environment, how is it related?
A - At Strada we are passionate about what we do, we have been in the car business for over 2 generations. We are keenly aware that the ICE/FF(Internal Combustion Engine / Fossil Fuel) combination is in its twilight years. At the same time we are frustrated that most of the new technology to replace ICE / FF is still several years in the future.
Q - How does it relate to used cars?
A - We put our heads together, asked the question "what can we do now to make a difference" The cars we deal with in many cases are better, have more features, are safer than many new cars in the market. Most used cars are presented as a different flavour of Certified Pre Owned, accompanied by a low finance or lease rate. We wanted to go beyond the CPO programs, and make a contribution.
Q - What sort of contribution?
A - A contribution to preserving our environment, and a sustainable process to conserve energy and resources. We are constantly reading, hearing that our environment is being inexorably altered. We are doing something about it with the business that we know.
Q - How can a recent model used car make a contribution?
A - There is no need to manufacture a used car, it was done a few years ago. Consequently there is an appreciable saving of resources, energy, pollution, waste, which in turn protects our environment. We list the fuel economy ratings by Transport Canada, and more important for the environment the CO2 emissions. Used cars offer a saving to the customer.
Q - Skeptics might say that its still a used car.
A - Or we can say that its a new car being recycled into a 2nd life. That is the reason we call it Car2, the 2 is for the second life of the car. It makes a contribution to conserve the environment, and saves the customer money. Its an elegant WIN / WIN.
Q - What about all the Certified Pre Owned programs that instill peace of mind.
A - From our perspective this is dealing with the past. At Strada we are several steps beyond telling people that we have good cars. If we did not have good cars we would not be in business. Good cars that offer value and peace of mind are a cornerstone of our business.
Q - You are saying that inspected and reconditioned cars with a warranty are a cornerstone of how Strada offers value and peace of mind to all the customers.
A - Precisely, its a standard feature of all the cars we offer for sale. Our blog clearly describes our philosophy and position.
Q - Are you saying there is more meaning to a used car?
A - If you get a Car2byStrada you absolutely do not have to be concerned about the goodness of the car, and your peace of mind. We have done all of the due diligence in that regard. If its your intention to minimise harm to our planet, then a Car2byStrada is a compelling way of doing it.
