Buying a Used Car in Toronto: What to Know

Toronto's used car market spans North York, Scarborough and Etobicoke, so compare listings across the whole city before you commit. In a private sale the seller must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package (UVIP), which shows past owners and any registered liens, and you have six days to register the car at ServiceOntario. Plates stay with the seller, so bring your own or buy new ones when you register. Years of salted winter roads make an underbody check for rust on the brake lines and subframe worth asking for.

Dealer protection

Ontario dealers must be registered with OMVIC, which backs buyers with a compensation fund. Advertised dealer prices must be all-in, including every fee except HST and licensing.

Registration and inspection

You need a Safety Standards Certificate to plate a used car in Ontario. Private sellers must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package (UVIP) showing ownership and lien history.
