Federal departments and agencies retire thousands of vehicles every year — cars, light trucks, vans, SUVs and fleet units — and sell them to the public through GCSurplus, the disposal service run by Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC).

- Are government surplus vehicles a good buy?
- Federal fleet vehicles are usually maintained on regular service schedules and sold with documented history, often below dealer prices. Condition varies by lot, so review the photos, odometer and description carefully — every lot is sold as-is, where-is with no warranty.
- Do I pay tax on a GCSurplus vehicle?
