recom273 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Tax? The best thing to do is .. If you are going to buy the bike at the sellers residence / province .. Agree the price, then go to his local DLT, hand them the green book and ask for the documents to transfer the bike to your name, get him to complete and sign them - pass these back to the clerk and get them to check the documents. Then it's a simple procedure, of taking the bike to your local DLT, going through the process and getting the bike checked over. It's easy to just go the offices - don't worry too much and let the employees guide you about. You will require a certificate of residence from immigration or a work permit to register the bike in your name. There are other posts here asking for, just search a few pages back. When moving province, no need to change the name at his DLT and then change again at you local, although it's bound to come up pretty soon.

LivinLOS Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Be aware lots of older big bikes, from the era when there were no main dealer sold big bikes.. Are running around on recycled books. When done perfectly the DLT cannot tell, but 99% are not done perfectly.. Check the engine and frame numbers online to see that they are for the correct manufacturer and model and year before anything further.. If they are not, deep discounting or walk away.

LivinLOS Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 google vin number check + manufacturer theres guides for how the VIN in written (model+year+cyl+unique etc) and sometimes even scripts to check a vin for you and say what the vin is from.
