Tomorrow I want to buy a used car, from a private seller, in a city a few hours from my home (both cities are in Ontario, Canada). What do I need to bring, and do?
Inspection:
I'd like to meet the seller at a dealership to get the car inspected. I'll pay for the inspection (predicting about $200) and the seller can keep that paperwork if for some reason I choose not to buy the car- but I'll likely buy it.
The Car:
2012 Honda Fit with 180,000 km. Single owner, clean title, safety certification, full maintenance records, and zero accidents. $6000. I believe the ad is honest and the seller's reason for selling is credible. If so... this is a great deal, right?
Plates:
I guess the seller keeps their own license plates... I actually have one plate from my former car. It's still registered to me with valid sticker (my car, different make and colour, was totalled & reported as such last week). Can I use my old plate for the 2 hour drive home? Or do I need to buy new plates in that city before I come home? If so, what do I need to bring?
Documents:
What do I need to bring with me, for the seller and for the plates?
Anything else I should think of? I've never done this before, so no advice is too simple.
Thanks! |
