Can anyone tell me where to get an appraisal done for my fb? Preferably North of HWY 7.

Frig'n MTO needs it for ownership transfer....um...I mean to pay the GST.

Thanks everyone.

 

That's weird, I never had to have any of my vehicles appraised when I registered them. Try going to another MTO office...

 

From the MTO website:

"For passenger and light commercial vehicles (2,200 kilograms and under empty weight) 20 years or older, the retail sales tax is payable on the purchase price, replacement value for insurance purposes, or appraised value, whichever is more."

I've been two two offices so far...both have asked for it.

 

I never needed that for my car, and it was 21 yrs old at the time it was registered it, although I paid alot for it. Just claim the price as higher than the appraisal price.

 

Yep, it's the latest government scam.

It's a new law.

What's REALLY dumb is that I went there trying to import a vehicle from the states and they demanded an appraisal! After I had allready showed proof of purchase price and everything from the border taxes. They just are out to get poor people/people that like old cars with another $50-$100 "tax" even if you only paid $100 for the car!

 

I found someone....$125 bucks.

 

Who'd you find to do it? I have a feeling I'm going to be in the same situation in the next couple of days.

 

ouch

guess my fb with no blown engine isn't appraised for ****!

lol

Anyone wanna make me an offer.. details in Sig.

 

My Fb is sitting with a Blown engine
anyone looking for a nice project?
may sell depending on best offer

 

Yes, another way of the gov't bilking more $$$ on car sales. I bought my Rx in May 2006 and apparently this new law (or ripoff) was effected fall of '05.

Unbenownst to me the MTO required an appraisal (for cars > 20 years in age) in order to determine amount of taxes to charge during the registration process. Needless to say I was pisszzed to the extreme.

I told them since they enacted this requirement they should pay for the appraisal costs. That went over like a lead balloon.

Bottom line,,,,,I ended up paying taxes on the car + appraisal costs (~$200 I think it was) + taxes on the appraisal. Talk about reaming, gouging, scr%$#@wing the consumer.....AAARRGGHH!!!
