Question Buying a car in Ontario and registering in Quebec
I’m graduating in electrical engineering next year and I’m looking to buy a used 2017-2018 Acura TLX 2.4L Tech Package FWD (120000km+) (13-15k CAD) for work. Someone close to me has the same car brand and I really like it, and I have enough money from my student line of credit + 3 internships to cover it. I found a lot of good deals in Ontario, but I can’t find many resources on the process of buying a used car from a dealership in Ontario and then registering it in Quebec. Is there anything I need to know? Like what should I tell the dealer? Right now my plan is to negotiate online, book a ticket for 120-140 to go to Ontario, do inspection then drive the car back, then register it with the SAAQ, do the safety inspection etc. Is there anything else I can do to save time and money and avoid problems?
