Costs and Process of Private Selling in ON

[wing]

Try calling the MTO on that one.  Implications are that if the guy leaves the car in a ditch and your name is on the ownership YOU will be called and will be paying the cost to towing etc etc.

But I would call the MTO to find out, if you signed the ownership over they have a few days (3 or 5 I forget) to transfer the car or they are in trouble.

What is the process and cost if I sell 'as-is'?

Well if you are a nice person, you can drive it over to the new owner's place or to a garage of their choice to have the safety inspection performed.

It is up to the buyer to pay for the Safety Standards Certificate, any required repairs and the Used Vehicle Information Package.

The buyer pays for the UVIP? I thought it was the seller. So if I'm buying an uncertified car I have to buy the UVIP?

Seller is typically suppose to buy the UVIP

Knulkez just drive your car to the wreckers of your choice and they usually buy it right there and then. They don't pay much but it is worth more if you can drive it in instead of them picking it up. The selling Owner and the buyer of any car transaction are both on the hook to have the paper work changed over within 6 days in Ont I believe it is now.  They can both be charged with a offence if this is not done. The seller is responsible for the $20.00 green package on the vehicle as well. Bak12lan if you sold the car as-is then you have NO liability to the new owner on this matter at all as he purchased the car AS-IS. You are liable tho if he has not transferred the ownership within the 6 day time period tho the same as him.

If he leaves the car in the ditch then the police will be called. We'll call you and you'll say "I sold it". We'll then tow it to a tow compound who will then contact you again a few times. Once it sits in the tow compound for XX number of days the tow company gets to change the ownership to their name and they can scrap it.

Really?  That's good to know   I know someone that sold a car to someone it turned up burned out in a ditch and he was called and paid a bunch of fines.  I guess he should have ignored them.

This is sad. I'm having to re-read my own thread. What'd ya'all tell me again?

Would that mean if you took it back, you could resell it / sell twice?
