The first time the Trusted Regina team visited Dilawri BMW/Mini, it was a cold, windy, gloomy day. The moment we opened the door and walked into the showroom, we forgot about the miserable weather instantly. The warm welcome we received from the smiling and helpful team together with the vehicles in the showroom that are pure class,  combined together to take our minds off of life’s petty problems, like the lousy weather.

They are a Trusted Regina Auto Dealer

Each and every vehicle in the Dilawri BMW/Mini showroom is an expression of their fascination with mobility. The BMW- Three letters that signal outstanding engines, superior technologies and a pioneering spirit. But above all they stand for The Ultimate Driving Experience! BMW doesn’t just build cars, they ignite emotion. So in any BMW you can experience the most personal and fundamental human emotions: joy. It’s their motivation and their promise. Joy is BMW.

The Mini- Small on the outside, huge on the inside! The new generation adds state-of-the-art technology, modern levels of safety, quality and reliability to traditional MINI values, such as optimum interior space within compact exterior dimensions. Driving fun was, of course, also a key criterion when developing the MINI product range: with its long wheelbase, short overhangs and low centre of gravity, MINI is a byword for unadulterated go-kart feeling!

There are many reasons to buy from Dilawri BMW / MINI including :

•State of the art facility

•One of Canada's largest automotive groups

• Factory trained sales and service representatives

•Shuttle bus service

•Collision Centre services available

•Extensive factory parts inventory

•Highly experienced sales staff

•Factory approved tools and specialized diagnostic equipment

But what makes the real difference is the service that you get from the Dilawri BMW/ Mini team - from both the sales and the service departments- thats why they were nominated to Trusted Regina. When we spoke to their clients as part of the Trusted Regina verification process we were impressed at how far they go to make sure their clients are well looked after - they know how to treat people, and that is why they have such loyal clients - read this testimonial from one of them...it really says it all :  

" Commitment, dedication, focus, drive, innovation and customer service excellence! These are just a few words I can think of to describe the Regina BMW team! Once again a personal thank you to Andy Kistner, Jamie Morley. Derek Yan for their continued service. There are reasons why I live in Calgary and choose to purchase my vehicles in Regina.

Titan Automotive is a standout business in an industry with lots of bad stereotypes and horror stories.

Here one of Titan's top salesmen answers just a couple of the frequently asked questions they get from potential buyers when looking at buying a vehicle from Titan Automotive.

How much should the amount of kilometers on a vehicle factor in my decision making when looking at a pre owned vehicle?

Buyers ask this question all the time and it is a very valid one, and something worth considering. However, often it’s not the amount of kilometers on the vehicle that should be the biggest issue. Its important instead to think about how its been driven and cared for. A vehicle that is well looked after may have a lot of kilometers but regular maintenance and care can ensure its still in great condition. These things can often be seen by a closer look of the vehicle's exterior and interior, as well as having a qualified mechanic inspect things under the hood. When a vehicle is brought onto the lot here at Titan, it is fully reconditioned by a journeyman technician, fully inspected, and we invest what we need to in order to be sure it is ready to be sold.

What if I have bad credit and need to get a vehicle loan...do you guys help with that?

Here at Titan, we will get your a loan and we will get you the vehicle you want. We have top finance people who specialize in working with all the top lenders and they know what they are doing.

Here Rob McCallum from Titan Automotive shares a great Trusted Tip on Shopping for a Used Vehicle

QUESTION: " Rob, my wife and I are contemplating the purchase of a “new” vehicle. By new, I mean new to us, we're not hung up on a brand new vehicle." Russ and Sandie

ANSWER: Those in the know, know that the best way to make a great deal is to use other people's money. By that I mean, let someone else pay for the depreciation of a vehicle, so it makes a ton of sense to consider the option of purchasing an off-lease vehicle or previously loved vehicle . An off-lease is usually two or three years old, will still hold the remainder of the manufacturer's warranty, is usually loaded with options, well maintained and will be in good cosmetic condition.

Consider the following points when it comes to making the second-most expensive purchase most people will ever make, next to a home.

•Set a budget. You will be amazed by how fast you will whittle down the overwhelming choices that are out there.

•Decide if you want to purchase or lease. Yes, you can lease used vehicles. However, unless you have a business that you can write off the lease payments against, I suggest you purchase. When you lease, you are basically renting a vehicle and the agreement comes with strings such as keeping the kilometres low, regular, documented maintenance and ensuring the cosmetic condition is top notch. Purcahsing a vehicle makes much more financial sense for a typical persons circumstances.

•What will you be using the vehicle for? Determine what you will be doing with the vehicle 95 per cent of the time. Unless you have definitive answers to any or all of the following points, it's likely you can get away with a small car. I used the 95 per cent figure because in the mid 1980s General Motors conducted a study to determine how it should outfit its pickup truck line. GM found that pickups were used as pickups only 5 per cent of the time. This turned the tables on light-duty trucks forever by making them more car-like.

•Do you have needs that require car pooling?

•Are you expecting to take bunches of kids to hockey or soccer? (There's a lot of gear to be slogged around along with the kids)

•Do you expect to haul cargo ? Will it be light or heavy?

•Will you be towing a trailer or boat? Lake life, Winter snow mobiling and Recreational vehicles are HUGE in Saskatchewan..and you need the right vehicle if you have those needs!

•Will you be off-roading or driving on snow covered roads?

•Is fuel economy important? Many manufacturers offer the same model with four cylinder as well as six- or even eight-cylinder engines. You don't have to settle for what's popular. With some planning and patience, you will find what you are looking for.

•Check out recalls and service campaigns. This can be done by contacting that brand's dealer or by subscribing to service information providers like www.Alldata.com  or by visiting the Transport Canada web site.

•Check out Consumer Reports. This can be done online or by magazine. Find out consensus for your choice of vehicle. Consumer Reports publishes a yearly document that not only spells out findings by their experts but also publishes vehicle owner survey results.

•Take your investigation to the next level: check out online forums. What are people saying that own these vehicles? It's amazing the feedback you will discover....find a TRUSTED REGINA USED AUTO DEALER like Titan , who you can be guaranteed to provide you with unbiased, honest to goodness advice..we know the vehicles and we know what's a good or a bad buy for your specific set of needs!   

•Take your narrowed-down list to a Used auto mall like TITAN AUTOMOTIVE, where we specialise in ' previously loved vehicles'  . Drive all your choices – you may find that a test drive will make you wonder why you even considered this vehicle in the first place – or you may wonder why it took you so long to find “the perfect car”.

Russ and Sandie, in the end, you like everyone else will likely buy with your heart. But now at least you have an idea how to narrow down the search and what to expect along the way. Good luck and above all, have fun. Buying a vehicle should be a highlight, and Titan Automotive would love to be there on your journey.....there's nothing better than handing over the keys to a new owner and seeing the joy on their face as they drive away ..it feels GREAT!!
