Before you say check [mto.gov](http://mto.gov), I did and there are bits and pieces of information not apparent. So I buy a usd car,private sale , if the owner has a valid Cert and E-test , do I have to do my own or is this transferrable? If I do my own, its done prior to registering the car at the MTO office and how do I take the car to the centre. Transfer taxes, i can’t find anything online. Someone with experience in this matter please help a youth out. Sincerely, Zac ---

for the purposes of an ownership transfer… a safety certificate is valid for 36 days an etest is valid for 1 year so if the safety is less than 36 days old, and the etest was done less than 1 year ago, you just bring those to the ministry with you along with the car’s ownership (signed on the back by the current owner) you have to buy a UVIP (used vehicle info package), which is $20, which you can do right there in the office when you go to transfer ownership you dont have to actually bring the car to the licensing office if it’s a private sale, you pay GST (5%) on the purchase price or the wholesale price, whichever is greater that should cover everything ---

SPD-DMN, thank you. [Ontariolicensces.com](http://Ontariolicensces.com) has alot of helpful stuff. For Private Sale :Can get the Canadian Red Book value of the car by calling MTO previous to going in ? or does anyone know the value on a 2000 G20? For Dealer Bought : the GST and PST are the taxes I pay I guess. ---

If you buy it from a dealer, they should do all this for you, you just go and take the keys and drive away with your “new” car. ---

ask the owner to write a lower bill of sale. that’ll help your insurance and taxes. and if the car is over 20 years old mto required appraisal done by a car dealer/someone with dealer license.
