its a great deal but there is no title for it. the owner did not receive it from the previous owner and has not registered it in ontario yet can anyone give me some information on what i can do to deal with this if anyone can help it would be much appreciated. also there are technical problems its shut off at 70 km/h anyone expierence it before? wont start anymore any reasons owner thinks it is battery?

 

dont buy it, unless you can personally track down the previous owner and talk to him

You can do that when you get the used vehicle package for the car and it'll list who the previous owner was

 

Only one question................................are you nuts? Why would you pay money for a vehicle with no ownership?????

 

do lots of research. check for liens and possible thefts from all provinces.
you can swear under oath that you own the car and you will be given a title.

then get your car re-keyed.

but really have the registries find the previous registered owner and give them a call. see what happened.

 

The bolded portion is NOT TRUE in ontario.

I just went through a fiasco with a car with no ownership and I can state with 100% accuracy that swearing the car is yours is NOT enough to get a title.

I spent two months tracking down paperwork from japan and across the country (my car was imported without the proper papers). Once you have ALL the documentation showing the complete ownership history of the vehicle (including multiple bills of sale) you can then swear that you've exhausted all available resources in obtaining a title for the vehicle. But they won't just give you one on your good word, I had about 4lbs of paperwork required to get to that point.

Even you solved the ownership part, the car may also have alot of mechanical problem.... don't get it......

 

That's all relative... I paid $2000 for my FD knowing it had lots of mechanical problems. I'm more than happy with my purchase.

man I'd buy a working $2000 FD with no title any day.

 

well you nkow what i dont have the resources able to get it i really want to but i found out he meant it hasnt been registered in Canada. i thought title and ownership were different correct me if im wrong ? it was just such a good deal for a complete car i thought id look into it if any of you guys are interested here is the ad

wish it could have been easier to get
but thnaks alot guys for all the info

 

The words "Stolen Vehicle" scream through my head upon reading that ad.

Hypothetically if that car is not stolen, you would need to obtain an export certificate for it from japan, you would need a bill of sale from the last owner in japan to whomever imported it into canada (which I'm guessing is no one, therefore you'd need a bill of sale from japan to yourself). Once you have these you'd have to go to customs and get a Form 1, import the vehicle yourself and pay all the applicable duties and fees.

After all that, you'd have to get your export certificate translated by an approved ATIO translator (the ministry won't accept translations from anywhere else) you'd then have to swear a declaration that all available aveunes of obtaining an ownership have been exhausted, and at THAT point you'd be able to go pay tax AGAIN to get an ownership issued.

If any of those steps hasn't been completed (good luck getting a bill of sale from the last japanese owner to yourself), no ontario ownership will be issued.

This will cost you a couple hundred bucks in paperwork to complete. (not including duties/fees/taxes)

Then you get to start repairing the car.

Welcome to my world :P

Opportunity is knocking!

The car has a blown motor at the very least. The person selling it has never taken an english class, or used microsoft word, and its almost as bad as a kenyan prince trying to sell you ****.

 

That ad got taken down...

-Geoff

 

I'm curious what they were asking for it? didn't see the ad.

 

was it a red one with CF hood?

 

It was a red automatic. No CF hood. Price was $2500

I read the ad and all I could think was "stolen!"
