When you buy a vehicle within Quebec you are buying a "verbal" promise from the seller that the vehicle is in some sort of condition but that "promise of quality" has no legal obligations and there is no unbiased process in place to ensure any level of consistency. What does that mean for me, as a used car buyer ?

The "Societe de l'Assurance Automobile du Quebec" (SAAQ) only requires inspections on vehicles that are entering the province of Quebec from another province such as Ontario.
#E TEST ONTARIO VEHICLE HISTORY REGISTRATION#
Vehicles basically fly below the safety radar as long as the registration is from a prior Quebec customer. The Quebec Ministry of Transportation has safety inspections but as long as the vehicle registration stays within Quebec, vehicles are exempt from inspections or having to meet those standards. Now do you wonder why the Quebec dealer/garage community has such a bad reputation? If the brakes have 5% left and the seller decides not to repair them, the car may be sold, licensed and the seller gets paid but you just bought yourself a car with existing issues and possible surprises down the road. They often do what they feel would help sell the car in a shorter time frame or for more money but they have no obligation to deliver the car with any consistent level of quality.

The decision to inspect/ repair or replace defective parts is at each garage owner's discretion. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! That's right, a used car sold within the province of Quebec does not need to go through any mandated inspection nor is the seller or selling garage under any obligation to provide any level of safety, reliability AT ALL. Anybody or any business selling a used vehicle in the province of Quebec is legally permitted to sell you a vehicle and inspect. Are you aware of what a Quebec dealer's ( or private seller's) legal obligation is as it relates to vehicle's overall condition, when selling you their used vehicle? Answer … Surprising but the answer is "NOTHING". We'd like to answer that by asking a question. We are often asked by our Quebec customers " Why should I purchase a car from an Ontario dealer rather than buy it in Quebec?" Are you a Quebec Resident considering buying a used vehicle in Ontario?
