Be specific about known problems
List the issues you know about and avoid promises about items you have not inspected. Photos of the dashboard, body, tires and interior help document the condition.
If the vehicle may be unsafe to drive, say so. Pickup can be discussed instead of moving it for a viewing.
Keep a clear transaction record
The seller and buyer should agree on the vehicle, price and date and complete the required ownership paperwork. Keep a copy of the signed bill of sale and remove your licence plates.
Ontario requirements can change, so confirm current steps with ServiceOntario for your specific transaction.
Questions about this service
Does as-is mean I can hide a known issue?
No. Describe known mechanical and collision issues honestly so the offer and paperwork reflect the vehicle.
Do I leave my licence plates on the vehicle?
Ontario licence plates remain with the seller. Remove them when the transaction is completed.
Is a safety certificate included?
An as-is vehicle is not represented as certified. Confirm all transaction terms before signing.
